AREA ATTRACTIONS: Things to do in the area

Colonial Lanes and GW's Sports Grill - We are planning on heading over here after the wedding Saturday night but it would also be a great spot to kill some time if you are up Friday night or Saturday before the wedding.

Blooming Hill Farm - We fell in love with this local farm when we were planning the wedding.  They have the best farm stand I have seen, which is an old barn where you can see hundreds of garlic heads hanging and drying.  They have breakfast, baked good, herbs, veggies, fruits and more.  They even have a little brook that runs next to the barn with seats right there to enjoy yourself.  If you're staying over Friday night we suggest going here for breakfast on Saturday morning, or stop by after brunch on Sunday to grab some produce on the way home.

NY Renaissance Faire - Saturday's and Sunday's in August and September 

Brotherhood Winery - The oldest winery in the US is just beautiful.  You must check out their tasting room and take a quick tour.  They also have the Vinum Cafe, which is where we are hosting the rehearsal dinner for the wedding party on Thursday night.

Pine Hill Farm - 3298 Route 94, Chester, NY - grab some local produce before heading back home.  This farm has been kind enough to let us take pictures after our ceremony so please support them if you can.

Sugar Loaf Craft Village - A craft village just a few miles from the hotel.  Maybe head over Saturday morning and stroll around the village and check out all the shops.

Day AFter Wedding Brunch

For everyone staying over in the area Saturday night, please join us Sunday morning from 11am to 1pm at Loughran's Irish Pub for breakfast.
