This Memorial Day weekend is expected to be sunny and unusually warm, upper 80’s. To me, that means summer. And what is summer about in the Hudson-Berkshire region? Festivals, farmer markets and country fairs.
Well, the first Festival of the season is this weekend, Saturday, May 28th and Sunday, May29th. It is time for the 4th Annual Hudson-Berkshire Wine and Food Festival, Activities take place at the Columbia County Fairgrounds on Route 66 in Chatham, New York.

The Hudson-Berkshire Beverage Trail extends from southeast of Albany to Hudson, NY The trail features handcrafted, award-winning wines, beers and spirits.
I love this festival and eagerly await Memorial Day weekend each year. I cherish the idea that all of the wine, food and spirits are local products from both New York and Massachusetts. The opportunity to visit the producer of your favorite product, whether wine, spirits or food, is a reality. Use the Hudson-Berkshire Beverage Trail map as a guide for your tasting adventure.
