Rhinebeck Information

Welcome to this Dutchess County beauty, a historic little town nestled in the Northern New York Hudson Valley region that boasts majestic views of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River—it also has just the right dose of city sophistication to make for any nice weekend getaway! This one’s definitely a four-corner town that takes pride in its Dutch History. All around, subtle influences of earlier times can be seen in the array of Victorian, Greek Revival, and colonial architectural treasures scattered throughout the Village, including an early Dutch-style post office, which is one of more than a dozen sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearby, however, it’s easy to find up-to-the-minute unique specialty shops, restaurants, and theaters that continue to bring new life onto the old tree-lined streets. Rhinebeck has also been touted as one of America’s best Gourmet towns. So with numerous fine dining options and a thriving locavore movement, foodies of all sorts will be living the dream in a quieter East Coast space that’s also super accessible to New York City, rural upstate New York, the Berkshires, and even Connecticut.

There’s tons to check out in and around town. Why not take a peek at automobiles and motorcycles from the golden era of aviation, or watch an air show of sky-high twists at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome? Kiddies will love watching those planes swoop around in circles—they’ll also likely adore checking out Wilderstein, an immense Queen Anne style country house-turned-museum that’s surrounded by numerous walking trails. Adults will also like the wholly historic site for its photo-ops and stellar views! In the summertime, there’s also the annual Dutchess County Fair, an extravaganza of fried dough and rides, or Bard College's SummerScape series, which offers a fantastic mix of opera, dance, theater, and film. For even more culture, head towards Upstate Films Theater, a cultural hub for everything about film that shows documentaries, independent films, classics, and animation. There's also a sister cinema in Woodstock, as well as a large red barn about three miles east of the Village center that houses the always-busy Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. The ongoing series of Saturday children's shows are especially popular. With all that hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and mansion viewing, it’s safe to say that the best activity in Rhinebeck by far is still eating. The proximity of the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, to the area has provided Rhinebeck with first-class chefs and many restaurants, such as the Ironwood Grille at the Dinsmore Golf Course. What’s more is that antique lovers will discover heaven on earth by scouring the over thirty antiques dealers at the Beekman Arms Antique Market. There’s also the bi-annual Rhinebeck Antiques Fair, which showcases more than a couple hundred dealers in four large exhibition halls, the Blue Cashew Kitchen Pharmacy, a high-end specialty kitchen boutique that’s been lauded by most cookbooks, and Hummingbird Jewelers, a local store offering one-of-a-kind creations by local and international artisans. Those wanting to get a taste of the wild side can even rent a mountain bike from Rhinebeck Bicycle Shop to ride north to the heavily wooded River Road, or to pedal on out to the Montgomery Place Orchards Farm Stand, a mecca for purchasing fresh produce. Kayakers can also venture through the tall reeds and purple loosestrife of the nearby Tivoli Bays. Book a sunset tour and admire dusk from the river!
