🍂 A little history, right outside your front door.

Did you know that Washington’s Headquarters in Newburgh was the first publicly owned historic site in the United States?

General George Washington spent over 16 months here during the Revolutionary War, from 1782 to 1783. It was here that he announced the cessation of hostilities and helped lay the foundation for a peaceful transition from war to independence. The Badge of Military Merit, which later inspired today’s Purple Heart, also originated during his time in Newburgh.

Today, you can walk these same historic grounds, take in the beautiful Hudson River views, and experience a little piece of American history.

And the best part? Washington’s Headquarters is right across the street from our River Views on Washington property.

Stay somewhere with a story to tell, and make Newburgh your home base for a fall getaway.

Meet Chris & Monica Pennings — the heart behind Christopher Jacobs Winery at Pennings Vineyard. 🍷🤎

One of my favorite things about photographing places throughout the Hudson Valley has been meeting the people who make them special, and Chris and Monica are exactly that.

They are genuinely some of the sweetest people. They make everyone who walks onto their property feel welcome, and they go above and beyond for their visitors. Watching the way they interact with their customers, friends, and family made me feel like they both encapsulate so much of what the Hudson Valley is all about: great w**e, delicious food, genuine connection, and relaxing scenery.

Their property is full of smiles, laughter, good conversation, hard c***r, w**e, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile.

And fall might be one of the best times to experience it. 🍂

As the weather starts to cool down, Fireside Fridays bring live music, a food vendor, and a warm campfire for guests who want to spend the evening outside.

They’re also open Saturdays and Sundays from 12–5 PM, and throughout October, Sundays include live music and a food vendor…the perfect stop for anyone spending the day leaf peeping around the Hudson Valley.

And if you’re searching for a Hudson Valley wedding or event venue, this property is absolutely worth considering. Between the vineyard, rustic setting, outdoor space, and surrounding scenery, it’s a venue with so many possibilities. Reach out to Chris and Monica for more information about hosting your event here.

Add Christopher Jacobs Winery at Pennings Vineyard to your Hudson Valley itinerary. Come for the w**e and c***r, stay for the scenery, and you may just leave feeling like you’re part of their family. 🍷🍎🍂

Part 3: Some places make a great first impression. Others give you a reason to keep coming back.

For Ash, that’s exactly what sets The Disgruntled Chef apart:

“I’d say the consistent, high-level ex*****on keeps me coming back. I’ve been to so many other HV restaurants that are hit-or-miss. One out of a few meals is good, or good one week but not the next. The consistency at DC is unmatched. Also, the chefs are cooking which makes a huge difference. Always fresh ingredients. My favorite seasonal dish was poached cod over local corn puree with cherry tomatoes and micro greens. Honestly their food is nonpareil.” — Ash

A local favorite built on fresh ingredients, thoughtful cooking, and above all—consistency. ✨
