Samantha says: Dutchess County, in the Hudson Valley, is known as one of the most beautiful destinations in the United States. Its famous river defines it, and the area around it. From historic estates that helped changed the world, to farms producing some of the finest fruits and vegetables in the country, you’ll discover magic around every corner on its ample, leafy, and winding roads. Throw in excellent dining, a compelling art scene and my absolute favorite tea shop, and you’ll see why Dutchess County in the heart of the New York’s Hudson River Valley is a place to love.
