The Hudson Valley isn't just a place we visit. It's our home. My wife Jamie and I have spent our entire lives here. We grew up in the Hudson Valley, raised our children here, and now have the incredible pleasure of watching our grandchildren grow up here, too. We've watched this region change over the decades. Old resorts have closed, new businesses have opened, farms have reinvented themselves, and the Hudson Valley has become one of the most exciting destinations in the Northeast for food, wine, outdoor adventures, and unique experiences. But some of the best things about this area haven't changed at all. The mountains. The waterfalls. The farms. The people. And that feeling you get when you discover a special place that you can't believe more people don't know about. Jamie and I both worked at the legendary Nevele resort when we were young. Those early experiences helped shape our passion for hospitality. My career eventually took me to places like The Greenbrier, The Broadmoor, and the three-Michelin-starred La Tante Claire in London. But the Hudson Valley always remained home. On December 31, 2003, we opened Aroma Thyme Bistro in Ellenville. More than two decades later, we're still here, supporting local farmers, discovering great wines, exploring the mountains, and sharing our favorite places with visitors. We love skiing, hiking, biking, discovering wineries, enjoying great restaurants, and finding little hidden gems. And now we're doing many of those same things with our grandchildren. That's why we created Upstate Experience. We want to help you discover the Hudson Valley the way we know it—not just the famous attractions, but the places locals love. This guide focuses primarily on Ellenville, the Shawangunk Mountains, the Catskills, and the surrounding Hudson Valley, with a few worthwhile day trips farther away. Whether you're visiting for a romantic weekend, a family vacation, a wine country getaway, or an outdoor adventure, there's something here for you. One of my favorite hikes in the Hudson Valley. Gertrude's Nose rewards you with spectacular cliffs, rock formations, and sweeping views across the Shawangunk Ridge. This is a more demanding hike, but absolutely worth it for experienced hikers. Bring water, good hiking shoes, and your camera. Sam's Point offers some of the most spectacular views in the Shawangunks. Between the unusual dwarf pine barrens, rocky cliffs, ice caves, and nearby waterfalls, it's one of the region's truly special landscapes. It's also practically in our backyard in Ellenville. Verkeerder Kill Falls plunges 187 feet along the Shawangunk Ridge and makes a memorable hiking destination. I enjoy reaching it from Sam's Point, although the trek requires time and preparation. The views are especially impressive when water is flowing strongly. Stay on marked trails and respect protected areas. One of my favorite local loops is the roughly three-mile ridge hike accessed around Cox Road. It's a wonderful way to enjoy the Shawangunk landscape without committing to an all-day adventure. Check current access and trail maps before visiting, since some nearby land is privately owned. Lundy is one of those places that deserves more attention. The forest offers peaceful trails, interesting terrain, and connections toward the Lippman Park trail network. I love having this kind of outdoor adventure so close to Ellenville, especially when I want something quieter than the major parks. If you enjoy mountain biking, Lippman Park is a great local destination. Its wooded trail network offers opportunities for riders with different abilities. The connection to the surrounding forest makes it especially appealing. It's a wonderful example of the outdoor recreation available right here in Wawarsing. The Mohonk Preserve is one of the great outdoor destinations of the Northeast. Whether you enjoy hiking, rock climbing, nature photography, or simply spending time in the mountains, there's plenty to explore. The Shawangunk cliffs are internationally recognized by climbers, and the scenery is spectacular throughout the seasons. Mohonk Mountain House is an iconic Hudson Valley resort. Even without staying overnight, visitors can explore selected experiences through available day packages. It's an especially beautiful destination for couples looking for scenery, relaxation, and a memorable day together. Advance reservations are essential for most day experiences. Bear Hill has a special place in our family. I brought my children here, and now our grandchildren get to enjoy it too. The short, relatively easy walk leads to incredible views across the valley. It's one of the best places to introduce children to the beauty of the Shawangunks. The Rosendale Trestle is one of the most memorable features of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. Walking or biking across this historic railroad bridge offers beautiful views over the Rondout Creek valley. It's a wonderful outing for couples, families, and anyone who prefers a gentler outdoor adventure. We've spent plenty of time walking and biking rail trails with our children and grandchildren. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is especially enjoyable because it combines relatively gentle terrain with beautiful countryside, small towns, and interesting stops along the way. I've both walked and biked across the Walkway Over the Hudson, and it's an experience I recommend. This former railroad bridge has become one of the Hudson Valley's signature attractions. The views of the Hudson River are magnificent, and it's accessible to visitors who don't want a strenuous mountain hike. Ellenville has a remarkable aviation history and has long been known for hang gliding and paragliding. Watching colorful gliders soar above the Shawangunk Ridge is an experience in itself. For those interested in participating, look for qualified instructors and established operators offering appropriate training or tandem experiences. The Basha Kill is one of my favorite places to recommend for kayaking, birdwatching, fishing, and enjoying nature. This extensive wetland habitat attracts an incredible variety of wildlife. It's especially beautiful early in the morning when the water is calm and the birds are active. There's something unforgettable about spotting a bald eagle in the wild. The Rondout Reservoir area is a wonderful place to look for these magnificent birds. Bring binoculars, be patient, and enjoy the mountain scenery. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the experience is worthwhile. Roscoe is famous for its fly-fishing heritage, and the surrounding Catskills offer excellent opportunities for anglers. The region's trout streams have attracted fishermen for generations. Whether you're experienced or interested in hiring a guide for your first outing, this is an important part of Catskills outdoor culture. Awosting Falls is one of the area's most photographed waterfalls, and for good reason. The water drops dramatically into a beautiful rocky setting. It's an excellent choice for visitors who want to experience a spectacular waterfall without taking on one of the region's longest hikes. Stony Kill Falls is another beautiful waterfall close to Ellenville. It's especially impressive after periods of rain. The surrounding forest and rock formations make it a memorable destination. As with all waterfalls, conditions can be slippery and dangerous, so visitors should remain on established trails. Vernooy Kill Falls is one of my favorite waterfall hikes in the Catskills. Rather than one enormous drop, the water cascades through a series of picturesque rocky sections. It's a wonderful place to enjoy the forest and moving water, particularly during spring and fall. Split Rock is a beautiful natural swimming spot associated with the Mohonk Preserve. I've visited, and it's a memorable setting. Access and swimming rules can change, so check with the preserve before planning a visit. Never assume a natural swimming hole is supervised or safe. Blue Hole is famous for its clear, blue-green water and stunning natural setting. Its popularity has also brought environmental challenges, which is why visitors must respect current permits, parking restrictions, and access rules. It's a beautiful place that deserves careful protection. Otter Falls is a picturesque Catskills waterfall worth exploring for a quieter nature outing. Its wooded setting and flowing water make it appealing to visitors who enjoy forest scenery. Before visiting, confirm legal trail access and current conditions, particularly after heavy rain when paths may be slippery. Esopus Creek is a defining waterway of the Catskills. Visitors enjoy its scenery, fishing, and water-related recreation where permitted. Conditions vary considerably by location, and water releases can create dangerous currents. Choose established recreation access points rather than unmarked swimming areas. Lake Minnewaska and Lake Awosting are beautiful sky lakes surrounded by carriage roads and hiking trails. During designated summer periods, supervised beach areas offer swimming opportunities. Check New York State Parks for current access and swimming rules, then plan a day combining the water and surrounding mountain scenery. This is one of the lesser-known local waterfall stops worth exploring. Its connection to the area's mining history makes it especially interesting. Because access routes can be poorly marked and may cross private land, confirm a legal public route before attempting to visit. Kelder's Farm has been a family favorite for generations. We brought our children here and now enjoy visiting with our grandchildren. Seasonal activities can include strawberry picking, pumpkins, a corn maze, animals, mini golf, and the farm store. Each visit offers something different for curious young explorers. The Kartrite is a popular family option for rainy days and cold weather in the Catskills. Its indoor waterpark is the main attraction, with bowling, arcade games, and other activities adding variety. Our grandchildren especially enjoy the outings, and they're already asking about another bowling visit. LEGOLAND is a fantastic destination for families with younger children. The park features LEGO-themed rides, creative attractions, and plenty of opportunities for children to play and explore. It's a worthwhile day trip from the Ellenville area, particularly for families planning several days in the region. Holiday Mountain has undergone significant improvements and is once again an important part of the region's winter recreation scene. Skiing, snowboarding, and seasonal activities make it worth considering for families. Check current operating schedules and available activities before planning a visit. When winter arrives, families start looking for ways to enjoy the snow. Holiday Mountain is worth checking for its current winter activity offerings, including whether designated sledding or tubing opportunities are available. Never use active ski slopes for unauthorized sledding. The Catskill Mountain Railroad combines local railroad history with scenic family outings. Depending on the season, excursions can include fall foliage trains, the Pumpkin Express, and holiday-themed rides. It's a memorable way to experience the area from the tracks. Book ahead for popular departures and seasonal events. Hasbrouck Park is a convenient outdoor stop when exploring New Paltz with children. Its playground and open space offer a welcome break between village shops, restaurants, and nearby attractions. Families can enjoy a little fresh air without committing to a strenuous hike or a full-day excursion. Some of our favorite family days have involved little more than walking or cycling together outdoors. Hudson Valley rail trails make that easy, with gentler terrain than mountain routes and plenty of countryside to enjoy. They're a good choice for younger riders and families exploring at their own pace. Roller skating can be a fun change of pace for families spending time around Accord. Look for current recreational events, suitable venues, and seasonal skating opportunities before making plans. Availability can change, so confirm the location and schedule rather than assuming a regular rink or session is operating. Tubing is a refreshing way to enjoy a summer day when a properly operated activity is available. Tinker Town was among the names considered while planning this guide, but its current operator and access details require confirmation. Check verified local information before arranging a visit or booking. Wine is a huge part of our lives. Through our restaurant and VIP Winery Vacations, Jamie and I have visited more than 400 wineries across six countries. We love meeting the people behind the bottles, walking the vineyards, understanding the winemaking process, and discovering wines that tell a story. And there's excellent wine country right here in our own backyard. The Shawangunk Wine Trail is one of the best ways to explore local wine country. With wineries spread throughout the region, visitors can discover different producers, beautiful scenery, and a wide range of wine styles. You can drive yourself or arrange private transportation for a more relaxed experience. Whitecliff is a beautiful winery with views toward the Shawangunk Mountains. It's a wonderful place to discover locally produced wines while enjoying the scenery. The setting makes it especially attractive for couples and visitors combining wine tasting with a day of hiking. Robibero is another excellent stop for Hudson Valley wine lovers. The winery offers a relaxed vineyard setting and opportunities to discover its wines. It's also one of the wineries we'd like to feature in exclusive, privately arranged experiences through Upstate Experience. Bashakill Vineyards is a pleasant wine-country stop near the beautiful Basha Kill wetlands. It pairs naturally with a day exploring Wurtsboro's shops, quiet roads, and surrounding countryside. Whether you're planning a tasting or a scenic drive, check current hours and availability before making a special trip. City Winery Hudson Valley is an especially interesting destination because it combines winemaking, hospitality, food, and entertainment in a distinctive setting. Through our relationships in the wine industry, we're exploring opportunities to arrange private experiences that go beyond an ordinary tasting. We're developing private Hudson Valley wine experiences shaped around each guest's interests. The idea includes transportation, winery visits, introductions to winemakers, and intimate tastings through relationships with producers, including City Winery and Robibero. These are carefully curated possibilities rather than standard group bus tours or guaranteed bookable packages. Arrowood is a terrific destination for craft beer lovers. The farm brewery setting gives it a relaxed, distinctly Hudson Valley atmosphere. One of my favorite recommendations is to combine a visit here with Westwind Orchard nearby. Together, they make a wonderful afternoon. Upward Brewing is a great reason to explore Livingston Manor. Its mountain setting and craft beer focus make it a memorable stop. Pair it with a scenic drive through the Catskills and you'll understand why this part of Sullivan County attracts so many visitors. Equilibrium has developed a strong following among craft beer enthusiasts. Known especially for its hop-forward beers, it's a worthwhile destination for visitors interested in modern brewing. Middletown also makes a convenient stop when traveling between the Hudson Valley and New York City. Newburgh Brewing is an enjoyable stop for craft beer lovers exploring the city's waterfront. Spend some time sampling the brewery's offerings, then head toward the Hudson River for views and a walk. Nearby restaurants can round out an afternoon or evening in this lively part of Newburgh. Westwind is more than just a cidery. It's a farm, food destination, and gathering place. I especially like recommending it alongside Arrowood Farms because the two are so close together. It's an easy way to enjoy several different sides of the Hudson Valley's food and beverage scene. Coppersea is a regional distillery I enjoy recommending to people curious about whiskey and traditional spirits production. Its connection to local agriculture makes it especially interesting. Learning about the relationship between farms, ingredients, and distilling adds depth to a Catskills-area trip focused on food and drink. Tuthilltown Spirits helped shape the modern craft distilling movement in New York. For whiskey enthusiasts, it's a useful introduction to the area's connection between locally grown grain, distilling, and agricultural history. Explore its current visitor offerings before planning a stop in the Gardiner area. Do Good Spirits is a great addition to a Catskills outing. Roscoe is already famous for fly fishing, and visiting a local distillery adds another dimension to the trip. It's a good stop for visitors interested in discovering smaller American spirits producers. Orange County Distillery brings an agricultural perspective to regional spirits production. It's worth exploring if you're interested in the relationship between farms, raw ingredients, and what goes into the glass. A visit can fit into a broader Orange County outing, subject to current tasting availability. Speakeasy Motors Whiskey Company adds another craft spirits name to consider when exploring Pine Bush and the surrounding area. Visitors interested in whiskey and smaller producers may enjoy learning about its approach. Confirm current visitor access, tasting arrangements, and operating information before making it a dedicated stop. The Tillson and Rosendale area combines local history with small independent businesses. Joppenbergh Gap Distilling is a name for craft spirits enthusiasts to research when planning a trip here. Confirm that the business currently offers public tastings or visits before traveling specifically for a distillery experience. Food is one of the biggest reasons people visit the Hudson Valley, and it's certainly one of the reasons Jamie and I love living here. After more than four decades in hospitality, I appreciate restaurants that have a story, a sense of place, and people who care about what they're serving. Here are some of our favorite places to recommend. Jamie and I opened Aroma Thyme Bistro in 2003, building it around seasonal food, sustainable ingredients, and wines we love. We work with trusted farmers and producers, and the menu changes throughout the year. The restaurant also hosts jazz, tastings, and special dining experiences. The Dale is a fun stop in Mountain Dale, especially if you're looking for something different. Their fermented pizza dough is one of the things that makes the place interesting. It's worth exploring Mountain Dale's small-town atmosphere while you're there, including the shops and other independent businesses. Garvan's is an inviting dining option while exploring New Paltz. Set in a historic building, it combines a welcoming atmosphere with a gastropub-style menu. Consider stopping after a village walk, nearby hike, or afternoon of shopping to round out your time in the area. If you're hiking at Mohonk or Minnewaska, Mountain Brauhaus is a classic stop afterward. This family-run German restaurant has been part of the local dining scene for generations. There's something satisfying about finishing a day in the mountains with hearty food and a good beer. Westwind Orchard is one of those places that fits into several categories: farm, cidery, and restaurant. I love the combination of food, agriculture, and local cider. And because Arrowood Farms is nearby, you can turn a visit into a great afternoon exploring the Accord food and beverage scene. Mill & Main is one of the smaller independent restaurants that gives Kerhonkson its character. It's worth considering when you're spending time exploring nearby communities and countryside. Places like this offer another way to discover the Hudson Valley beyond the most familiar tourist stops. Cohen's Bakery is a classic Ellenville stop and part of the town's food history. If you're looking for breakfast, baked goods, or a little local flavor, this is one of the places to visit. I love recommending businesses that have become part of the community's identity. Cellaio at Resorts World Catskills is an upscale option for a special steakhouse dinner. Associated with chef Scott Conant, it can suit couples celebrating an occasion or guests spending an evening at the resort. Consider it when you're looking for a more formal dining experience. The Newburgh waterfront is one of my favorite recommendations for couples looking for a scenic evening. Stroll along the Hudson River, enjoy the views, and choose from the restaurants lining the waterfront. It's especially beautiful around sunset, when the river and surrounding mountains create a memorable backdrop. One of the things I enjoy about exploring the Hudson Valley is discovering unusual little shops. We've found everything from interesting antiques to beautiful handcrafted items. I once scored some fantastic copper pots while antique shopping in Wurtsboro. As a chef, finding old copper cookware is like discovering buried treasure. Crystal Connection is one of the most unusual shopping destinations in the region. With its extensive collection of crystals, minerals, gemstones, and related items, it's a fascinating place to explore. Even if you're not a collector, the sheer variety makes it worth visiting. Top Shelf is one of the local shops worth discovering while exploring downtown Ellenville. I always encourage visitors to spend some time walking through our small towns rather than simply driving from attraction to attraction. You never know what interesting businesses you'll find. Canal Towne Emporium is a fun place to browse while visiting Wurtsboro. It's the kind of shop where you can spend time exploring different merchandise and discovering something unexpected. Combine it with other Main Street shops for an enjoyable afternoon. Wurtsboro is worth exploring if you enjoy vintage pieces and antique shopping. The local antique market offers a chance to browse furnishings, collectibles, and unexpected finds. Inventory changes as items come and go, which makes each visit feel a little different from the last. Bashakill Bazaar stands out in my memories of antique shopping around Wurtsboro. I've found interesting pieces there, including copper cookware, which always catches my attention as a chef. It's the kind of place where browsing for the kitchen or home can reveal something unexpected. Vintage Modern Antiques is one of the names to investigate when exploring Ellenville's vintage shopping scene. Look for distinctive furniture, decorative items, and collectibles while enjoying the town's independent businesses. Because shops and inventories can change, verify current opening details before planning a dedicated visit. Water Street Market is one of the most enjoyable shopping areas in New Paltz. Its collection of small shops and eateries makes it a fun stop while exploring the village. It's particularly nice for couples looking to spend a relaxed afternoon browsing. Handmade & More offers another reason to spend time browsing the independent shops of New Paltz. Its mix of gifts and merchandise can appeal to visitors looking for something different from larger chain stores. Pair a stop with a walk through the village and nearby attractions. The Hudson Valley and Catskills have an incredible history. From the legendary Borscht Belt resorts to the Woodstock music festival, this region has played a major role in American culture. Jamie and I grew up around some of that history, including working at the Nevele resort when we were younger. The Borscht Belt Museum celebrates an important chapter in Catskills history. For decades, the region's resorts attracted visitors from New York City and beyond, becoming famous for entertainment, comedy, food, and hospitality. Having grown up here and worked at the Nevele, this history is particularly meaningful to us. The Museum at Bethel Woods tells the story of the 1969 Woodstock festival and the cultural changes surrounding that era. It's located at the historic festival site, making it an especially meaningful experience for music lovers and anyone interested in American history. This museum explores the history of the Catskills, local communities, farming, and the development of New York City's reservoir system. It's a wonderful way to understand how the region evolved and how the creation of the reservoirs affected the communities that once existed here. The Nevele was once a legendary Catskills resort, and Jamie and I both worked there when we were young. Those years helped shape our understanding of hospitality. Today it remains part of Ellenville's history, but this is a historical point of interest, not a public attraction to enter. We're incredibly fortunate to have professional live theater right here in Ellenville. Shadowland Stages presents theatrical productions and special performances throughout the year. One of my favorite recommendations is to enjoy dinner at Aroma Thyme and then walk over for a show. It's a wonderful way to spend an evening. Bethel Woods is one of the premier concert destinations in the region. Located at the historic Woodstock festival site, it hosts major concerts and special events in a beautiful outdoor setting. Combine a performance with a visit to the museum for a full day of music and history. The Ulster Performing Arts Center, often called UPAC, brings concerts, comedy, theater, and other performances to Kingston. It's a strong choice for visitors who want an entertaining evening while exploring the northern Hudson Valley. Check the current calendar and plan a night around a show. Forestburgh Playhouse has a long tradition of live theater in the Catskills. Its seasonal productions make it a wonderful destination for visitors who enjoy musical theater and live performances. It's another reminder that the region offers much more than outdoor recreation. Live jazz has become part of our Thursday evening atmosphere at Aroma Thyme. We love bringing together great food, wine, and music. For visitors looking for an intimate evening rather than a large concert venue, it's a wonderful way to experience local hospitality. Resorts World Catskills offers casino gaming, restaurants, and indoor entertainment for visitors looking for an evening activity. You might combine a visit with dinner at Cellaio or explore other resort amenities. Check current schedules and available options before planning your night out. One of the best ways to spend an evening in Ellenville is to combine a great dinner with professional theater. Start with a meal and wine at Aroma Thyme, then enjoy a performance at Shadowland Stages. It's an easy, memorable evening without the need to travel between towns. We're developing wine-paired private dining experiences through Upstate Experience, using seasonal Hudson Valley ingredients and wines from producers we know. At Aroma Thyme, custom five-course or seven-course dinners can be arranged with pairings, offering something more personal than an ordinary restaurant reservation. Tequila is another passion of mine, and I love educating people about what makes great tequila different. Our private tequila masterclass experience is designed to explore production, agave, different styles, and the stories behind the spirits. We're also developing an experience that combines a tasting with a book signing. Imagine being picked up at your vacation rental and spending the day exploring local wineries without worrying about driving, directions, or making reservations. Through Upstate Experience, we're developing curated winery visits, including exclusive opportunities with winemakers and producers we know personally. Sometimes a quiet weekend together is the most memorable experience. Picture a cozy Hudson Valley cabin, a bottle of Champagne, a private hot tub, and dinner from Aroma Thyme. We've created romantic settings at our guest houses and enjoy helping couples plan special escapes. After a long day exploring the Hudson Valley, staying in can be just as appealing as dining out. We can arrange Aroma Thyme meals for guests in our properties, including customized celebrations. For special menus and arrangements, contact us at least two to three weeks ahead. There's something special about ending an evening outdoors around a fire. We're developing an after-dinner experience featuring drinks and s'mores around our fire pit at Aroma Thyme. It's a simple but memorable addition to a romantic dinner or special celebration. After spending our lives in the Hudson Valley, Jamie and I still discover new things to love about this region. That's what makes it so special. You can spend one day hiking in the Shawangunk Mountains, another exploring wineries and distilleries, and the next enjoying a farm, museum, or live theater performance. You can bring your children to the same farms you visited when you were young. You can discover a hidden waterfall, enjoy a locally produced glass of wine, or spend an evening around a fire with someone you love. And you don't have to figure it all out yourself. That's why we created Upstate Experience. We want to share the places we love, introduce visitors to the people we know, and help create memorable experiences throughout the Hudson Valley. Whether you're staying at one of our vacation rentals, another Airbnb, a hotel, or visiting friends, we'd love to help you discover something special. From private winery tours and exclusive winemaker tastings to chef-prepared dinners, tequila experiences, transportation, and personalized hospitality, we're bringing together the best of what this region has to offer. Come experience the Hudson Valley with us. Chef Marcus & Jamie Guiliano Founders, Upstate Experience Owners, Aroma Thyme Bistro | Ellenville, New York
