where You never know

Welcome to Columbia County...

Y

ou might find yourself soaring in a hot air balloon or marveling at the Persian-style mansion of Frederic Church. Maybe dancing the night away or grabbing some world-class street food between antique shops.

You might find yourself taste-testing artisanal cheeses or loading up on fresh-picked fruit, wandering through fields of sculpture, or following in the footsteps of Edna St. Vincent Millay on the Poetry Trail.

Easy to reach, harder to tear yourself away from—you’ll find yourself discovering worlds within worlds of pleasure, serenity, and entertainment. From world-class music and theater performances and art galleries to lovingly restored historic farmhouses, from vineyards and wineries to outdoor adventure geared to the whole family, you’ll fill your days and nights with memorymaking for as long as you choose to stay.

Rolling hills dotted with great little towns beckon explorers to find their own favorites. Historic sites and museums bring the past to vibrant life. We’ve got lodging and dining to suit every preference and pocketbook.

You never know where you’ll find yourself here—but you’ll find yourself here, again and again.
