Opus 40 Sculpture Park & Museum
Saugerties, New York
“This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land” I am immediately humming this Woody Guthrie folk song as I walk through Opus 40, a nonprofit sculpture park and museum deep in the Hudson Valley in Saugerties, NY. On this 60 acre property, artist Harvey Fite created a living legacy, sculpting a blend of the local quarry and ancient Mayan and Aztec stonework.

Benmarl Winery
Marlboro, New York
With sweeping vistas of the Hudson River Valley, Benmarl Winery holds New York’s winery license Number One. For a New Yorker that may be enough to boast about, but while there you’ll want to toast this 37 acre estate which is also the oldest vineyard in America.
