#  3 Great Autumnal Trips In Upstate New York  


Upstate New York is where city dwellers exhale – a region of winding rivers, forested peaks and charming towns that feel worlds away from Manhattan. And the best part? It’s only about 90 minutes from the city by car, making it the perfect excuse to tack on an extra 24 hours to any New York trip. Whether you’re chasing autumn colour or mapping out a US road trip next year, here are just a few places to consider adding to the itinerary…

## FOR COUNTRY &amp; CULTURE: 



### The Hudson Valley 



  

There’s a reason well-heeled New Yorkers head upstate when they need some R&amp;R. Renowned for its historic landmarks, striking Queen Anne-style houses, national parks and exclusive retreats, Hudson Valley stretches 150 miles north of Manhattan. Just a two-hour journey from NYC by car or Amtrak, this is the place to explore if you’re looking for a refined take on the outdoors.

Hudson Valley is a National Heritage Area filled with national parks and scenery that, come autumn, can rival that of its more northerly neighbour New England. Two of the best spots to explore include Minnewaska State Park and Olana State Park. In Ulster County, the former surrounds the dramatic Shawangunk Mountain ridge, which rises more than 2,000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by rugged, rocky terrain. Park highlights include waterfalls, crystalline sky lakes, dense hardwood forests, sheer cliffs opening to beautiful views and clear streams cut into valleys. There are 35 miles of roads and 50 miles of footpaths to take in all the above.

Olana’s 250-acre landscape is free to enter and open every day from 8am to sunset. A designed landscape created by famed painter Frederic Church, within his former estate you’ll find the Hudson River Skywalk, a scenic six-mile round trip walkway with sweeping views of the valley and the Catskill Mountains. Another must-see area to explore is the Forever Wild Catskill Park, which is home to the oldest continuous settlement in the USA. Over in Ghent, you’ll find [Omi Sculpture Park](https://artomi.org/). The 120-acre arts centre focuses on contemporary artists and architects, and houses a range of large-scale installations and rotating pieces.

Alongside a booming wine culture (Hudson Valley was the first wine-producing region in the United States) and an abundance of nature, the area is also loved for its hundreds of antiques shops. In the city of Hudson itself, some of these include the piled-high [Red Chair On Warren](http://www.redchair-antiques.com/) and mid-century modern haven [Neven &amp; Neven](http://www.nevenmoderne.com/). Then there’s [Finch](https://finchhudson.com/), which is worth the visit in its own right. A high-end homeware store from Andrew Arrick, who’s worked at design houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Celine, Carolina Herrera and Vera Wang, Finch is a treasure trove of good design. If you’re visiting from the UK, you won’t be able to squeeze an armchair or trunk in your suitcase, but there are multitudes of objects to remind you of your time there.

## WHERE TO EAT &amp; DRINK 



  

Hudson Valley is a pioneer in the farm-to-table movement. Inness and Wildflower Farms Auberge are at the forefront (more on those later) but visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to booking a table. Home to The Culinary Institute of America, where many of the country’s top chefs hone their skills, both Michelin-starred and Bib Gourmand restaurants aren’t hard to come by. One of them is [Silvia](https://www.silviawoodstockny.com/) in Woodstock. The family-owned restaurant focuses on back-to-basics cooking that’s still refined and on the drinks list, small producers and natural winemakers – most organic and biodynamic – take centre stage.

In Hudson, you’ll also find [Feast &amp; Floret](https://www.feastandfloret.com/). Here, the focus in on perfect pasta – think squid ink soprese with squid, nduja and spinach; or pappardelle with duck ragu, caper leaves and 24-month aged parmesan reggiano. [Red Dot](https://reddothudson.net/) has been a draw on Main Street since 1999. If you’re after a hearty brunch, USA classics such as ribs or the best burger in town, this is the place to book. [Café Mutton](https://www.cafemutton.com/) is a cutesy coffee shop and lunch spot, which opens for dinner on Friday evenings. An inventive menu includes everything from crepes to lamb head porridge with a poached egg and fried bologna sandwiches.

[The Maker](https://www.themaker.com/) is a Hudson hotel where eclectic design and comfort blend seamlessly. It also has a great restaurant in a soaring conservatory filled with plants. Pulling inspiration from his Italian heritage and the produce of the Hudson Valley, chef Alex Napolitano’s menu is guided by the seasons. Over in Tivoli, [GioBatta Alimentari](https://www.giobatta.com/) is another stellar Italian restaurant, which has the bonus of a well-stocked deli filled with delicacies to make the ultimate grab-and-go lunch. Another food-focused stop-off is Talbot &amp; Ardin, a Hudson mainstay that was founded by a celebrated cheesemonger and renowned chef in 2014. Its pressed-to-order filled focaccia sandwiches are epic enough to encourage even the most reluctant hikers to head up into the valley for a picnic.

## WHERE TO STAY 



  

It doesn’t get better than [Wildflower Farms Auberge](https://aubergeresorts.com/wildflower-farms) in Gardiner. Surrounded by 140 acres of meadows and woodland, the property looks towards the Shawangunk Ridge and makes the most of its setting thanks to its clusters of freestanding cabins or cottages. With floor-to-ceiling windows and private patios – some with hot tubs – each lodge gives guests their own slice of the scenery. What’s inside is just as impressive. The interiors and furnishings look like Soho House on steroids – think plush sofas at the end of beds, statement lighting and sculptural armchairs angled towards those views – alongside modern takes on American quilts and locally made toiletries. Elsewhere, there’s a spa, outdoor pool, farm-to-fork restaurant Clay and our favourite space, The Porch, where sofas and chairs flank a giant firepit. With miles of trails on the estate, you’ll be forgiven if you never leave the farm during your stay.

Another luxe resort is [Inness](https://inness.co/), which is home to a hotel, restaurant, member’s club, golf course, tennis courts, spa and saltwater pools. Guests can choose to sleep in the Dutch-style farmhouse or one of the 28 minimalist cabins. But even if you’re not staying at Inness, we strongly suggest booking at table at its restaurant. Lime-washed walls, vintage chairs from a Belgian church and floor-to-ceiling windows set the scene for a showstopping meal inspired by the Mediterranean – think wild bass with fennel, smoked trout roe and chilli oil or ricotta ravioli with crab, brown butter, peas and lemon.

For something more low-key, [The Six Bells Inn](https://thesixbellshotel.com/) in Rosendale is a charming hotel with serious design credentials. Set in a restored 19th-century building, it’s part country pub, part boutique stay, with interiors that nod to English eccentricity – think floral wallpapers, antique lighting and handpicked vintage finds across its 11 bedrooms. The restaurant serves elevated comfort food with a seasonal twist, and the garden is perfect for sundowners after a day exploring nearby trails or antique shops.

In Kingston you’ll find [Hutton Brickyards](https://www.huttonbrickyards.com/), a 43-room riverside escape with waterfront views. Guests can choose to sleep in the riverfront cabins or restored hilltop Second Empire historic mansion. There are two seasonal restaurants and bars, massage treatments available in room and hiking trails throughout the 500-acre state park that wraps around the resort’s own 100 acres. Elsewhere, [Woodhouse Lodge](https://www.thewoodhouselodge.com/) in Greenville was built in 1962 as a modern escape for city dwellers. The property has since been transformed into a ten-bedroom shaker-meets-mid-century-modern hotel, in the hills of the Catskills. It’s near the [North-South Lake](https://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/northsouth-lake-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=5), where a day pass gets you access to hiking trails around the striking waterfalls. Make sure you pack your swimming costume: the cooling lake swim on a hot day could well be one of your holiday highlights.

## FOR WELLNESS &amp; WILDERNESS: 



### The Adirondacks 



  

If you’re craving fresh air, forest trails and a slower pace of life, the Adirondacks deliver all that and more. Spanning over six million acres of protected parkland in upstate New York, this vast wilderness is home to more than 3,000 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, and some of the most scenic hiking routes in the country. Just a five-hour drive from NYC (or a short flight to Albany followed by a car journey), it’s the kind of place that feels worlds away from the city – in the best possible way.

The Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States, and it’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re here to hike, ski, paddle or simply switch off, the region offers year-round appeal. In autumn, the foliage rivals New England’s, with fiery reds and golds blanketing the hillsides. In winter, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing take centre stage, while spring and summer are ideal for wild swimming, kayaking and long days on the trails.

One of the best places to start is Lake Placid. Twice host to the Winter Olympics, this alpine town is a hub for adventure, with Mirror Lake at its centre and Whiteface Mountain j[ ](https://www.lakeplacid.com/do/activities/skiing-whiteface-mountain)ust 15 minutes away. The latter is home to the highest vertical drop in the East and offers panoramic gondola rides in summer. The Olympic Museum reopened in 2024 with interactive exhibits and immersive storytelling, while the town itself is filled with independent shops, cafés and galleries.

Nearby, Saranac Lake has a more bohemian feel. It’s known for its art scene, community events and quieter trails. The lake is perfect for canoeing and sunrise paddles, and the surrounding forests are ideal for gentle hikes and forest bathing. Further afield, Blue Mountain Lake and the Moose River Plains offer a more off-grid experience – think mossy glens, hidden waterfalls and stargazing without light pollution.

For those looking to combine nature with wellness, the Adirondacks are increasingly geared towards restorative travel. Forest therapy walks, lakeside saunas and spa menus featuring local botanicals are all part of the offering. Cold plunges in mountain streams are trending, and guided hikes with a focus on mindfulness are available throughout the region. In 2025, wellness retreats are popping up in quieter corners of the park, offering everything from yoga and sound baths to herbal workshops and wild swimming sessions.

## WHERE TO EAT &amp; DRINK 



  

The food scene here is rooted in the land. Expect seasonal menus, locally sourced ingredients and a growing number of restaurants embracing low-impact cooking. In Lake Placid, [Salt of the Earth](https://www.saltoftheearthbistro.com/) is a standout – a farm-to-table bistro with a menu that changes weekly, featuring dishes like maple-glazed duck breast, wild mushroom risotto and heirloom tomato tartlets. The wine list leans natural, with small producers from New York State and beyond.

Another favourite is [The Cottage](https://mirrorlakeinn.com/dining/the-cottage/), a cosy lakeside restaurant with views over Mirror Lake. It’s ideal for brunch or sunset cocktails, with a menu that includes everything from lobster rolls to vegan grain bowls. The inn is also home to [The View](https://mirrorlakeinn.com/dining/the-view/), an upscale fine dining restaurant with a focus on regional produce – think venison loin with juniper jus or trout with wild rice and foraged greens.

In Saranac Lake, [Left Bank Café](https://www.leftbankcafeadk.com/) is a charming French-inspired bistro with a rotating menu and a strong community feel. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find locals sipping espresso and reading the paper, alongside visitors tucking into croque madames and tarte tatin. Down the road, [Origin Coffee Co.](https://www.instagram.com/origincoffeeadk/?hl=en) is a great spot for breakfast or a mid-hike refuel, with excellent pastries and locally roasted beans.

 

## WHERE TO STAY 



  

One of the chicest options in the region is [Eastwind Lake Placid](https://www.eastwindhotels.com/lake-placid-overview). This Scandi-inspired lodge offers minimalist interiors with mountain views, home to timber-clad cabins, vintage ski décor and outdoor cedar tubs. There’s a communal sauna, firepit and a restaurant serving seasonal dishes – all designed to help guests unwind after a day on the trails. Interiors are pared-back but warm, with sheepskin throws, mid-century furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the forest beyond.

For something more immersive, [1000 Acres Ranch](https://1000acres.com/) offers a classic ‘dude ranch’ experience. Many Americans, especially those from the South, will tell you about their summer holidays between college spent working on a dude ranch – an all-inclusive resort where guests can immerse themselves in Western culture. Think horse riding, fishing, hiking and other outdoor pursuits. Set on – as the same suggests – 1,000 acres of forest and pastureland, this accommodation is ideal for families, groups or couples looking for an all-American trip. The vibe is relaxed and rustic, with log cabins, firepits and live country music nights. Earlier this year, the ranch expanded its wellness offering to include guided hikes, outdoor yoga and stargazing sessions.

Also worth noting is [The Point](https://thepointresort.com/), a Relais &amp; Châteaux property on Saranac Lake that’s consistently rated among the best wilderness hotels in the country. Originally built as a Rockefeller retreat, it offers all-inclusive luxury in a log cabin setting – think lakefront dining, vintage wooden boats and rooms filled with antiques and cashmere throws. It’s a splurge, but one that’s worth it even for a night or two.

For something more low-key, [Lake Placid Lodge](https://www.opalcollection.com/lake-placid-lodge) and [Whiteface Lodge](https://www.thewhitefacelodge.com/) both offer classic Adirondack style with upscale touches – roaring fireplaces, spa treatments and lake views included. The former is particularly romantic, with hand-built cabins and a restaurant that serves locally sourced dishes in a candlelit dining room overlooking the lake.

Elsewhere, [The Hedges](https://thehedges.com/) on Blue Mountain Lake is a historic property that’s been welcoming guests since the 1920s. It’s ideal for those looking to unplug, with no TVs, limited Wi-Fi and a focus on nature, community and quiet luxury. Guests can paddle, hike or simply sit on the porch and watch the light change over the water.

## FOR VINEYARDS &amp; VIEWS: 



### The Finger Lakes 



  

With its vineyard-lined lakes, dramatic gorges and quietly stylish towns, the [Finger Lakes](https://www.visitfingerlakes.com/) region is one of Upstate New York’s most romantic escapes. Named for the eleven long, narrow lakes that ripple across central New York, it’s a place where slow travel reigns supreme – ideal for wine weekends, wellness retreats and scenic road trips. Just over five hours from NYC by car (or a short flight to Rochester or Syracuse), it’s increasingly on the radar for foodies.

The region’s natural beauty is its biggest draw. Watkins Glen State Park is a must-visit, with its 19 waterfalls and winding gorge trail carved into ancient shale. The hike is short but spectacular, with stone bridges, cascading falls and moss-covered cliffs that feel otherworldly. Nearby, Taughannock Falls and Buttermilk Falls offer gentler trails and picnic spots, while the Finger Lakes Trail system spans over 950 miles for those looking to go deeper into the wilderness.

Seneca Lake is the largest and deepest of the lakes, and it anchors the region’s wine scene. The Seneca Lake Wine Trail includes more than 30 wineries, many of which now offer curated experiences – from vineyard yoga and chef-led tastings to vertical flights and cellar tours. Riesling is the signature grape here, but you’ll also find excellent gewürztraminer, pinot noir and sparkling wines. Much like much of the winemaking world, low-intervention wines and regenerative viticulture are on the rise, with producers like Red Tail Ridge and Hermann J. Wiemer leading the charge.

Ithaca, home to Cornell University, adds an indie edge to the region. It’s known for its progressive food scene, farmers’ markets and bookshops, as well as its proximity to Cayuga Lake and a network of waterfalls and trails. The town’s laidback energy makes it ideal for slow mornings and spontaneous detours – whether that’s browsing vintage stores, sipping locally roasted coffee or catching a poetry reading at [Buffalo Street Books](https://buffalostreetbooks.com/).

 

 [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/RNCYJAvJLpgLtQBAYj6FzffwK-I=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F09%2Faurora-inn-parlor-2-landscape.jpg?itok=C1ZdcHWJ)

## WHERE TO EAT &amp; DRINK 



  

The culinary scene here is quietly confident – shaped by the seasons, rooted in the land and increasingly defined by low-intervention cooking. In Geneva, [FLX Table](https://flxtable.com/) is worth a detour – a small, reservation-only restaurant with a communal table and a menu that changes daily. Dishes might include duck confit with black garlic, heirloom tomato tartlets or house made sourdough with cultured butter. There’s also a nice wine list, with a focus on Finger Lakes producers and natural wines. In Ithaca, [Moosewood Restaurant](https://www.moosewoodrestaurant.com/) is a classic, and a favourite among locals. Founded in the 70s and credited with pioneering vegetarian cuisine in the US, it’s still going strong with a menu that includes everything from lentil loaf to coconut curry.

Over in Hammondsport, [The Park Inn](https://www.parkinnflx.com/) is a beautifully restored 19th-century inn with a restaurant that serves elevated comfort food like short ribs with polenta, roasted root vegetables and house-made pies. The wine list leans local, and the cocktails feature regional spirits and foraged ingredients.

For daytime stops, don’t miss the [Finger Lakes Cider House](https://www.fingerlakesciderhouse.com/) near Interlaken. It’s a working farm and tasting room with panoramic views, dry ciders and a menu of farm-fresh snacks. In Canandaigua, [NY Kitchen](https://nykitchen.com/) offers cooking classes, wine tastings and a café that showcases regional producers – ideal for a leisurely lunch or a rainy afternoon.

## WHERE TO STAY 



  

[The Inns of Aurora](https://www.innsofaurora.com/) are a collection of five historic properties set along the shores of Cayuga Lake. Each inn has its own character, from the Federal-style Aurora Inn to the bohemian Zabriskie House, but all share a commitment to comfort, design and detail. Interiors feature four-poster beds, curated art and freestanding tubs, while the grounds include firepits, gardens and lakefront views. The Spa at the Inns of Aurora is a destination in itself, with hydrotherapy circuits, guided meditation and treatments that use locally sourced herbs and oils.

Over on Canandaigua Lake, [The Lake House](https://lakehousecanandaigua.com/) is one of the region’s chicest stays. With its clapboard exterior, Scandi-inspired interiors and sweeping lake views, it feels like a modern take on a classic American resort. Rooms feature natural materials, plush linens and balconies overlooking the water, while its spa offers lakeside massages, a salt therapy room and outdoor hot tubs. The hotel’s restaurant, Rose Tavern, serves seasonal dishes with a Mediterranean spin – think grilled octopus, burrata with stone fruit and wood-fired flatbreads.

Also worth noting is [Firelight Camps](https://firelightcamps.com/) in Ithaca – a luxury glamping site set in the woods near Buttermilk Falls. Safari-style tents come with hardwood floors, king-size beds and private porches, while the communal lodge offers breakfast, campfires and live music. It’s ideal for those who want to be close to nature without sacrificing comfort.

 

## GETTING THERE 



  

Fly direct from London to New York City, then hire a car or take Amtrak north. The Hudson Valley is two hours by train; the Adirondacks and Finger Lakes are best reached by car or via Albany, Syracuse or Rochester airports. A road trip is ideal if you’re visiting multiple regions.
