INSIDER TIPS, MUST VISITS & MOREWe asked the locals and they have spoken. Now you can take advantage of what they had to say and discover their favorite Berkshire spots for yourself. Find more insider tips, must visits and more, at berkshires.org.
- Taking the kids and dogs hiking on the trails behind Hancock Shaker Village, packing a lunch and eat it while enjoying the view of the pond. Great for fall foliage viewing.
- Pulling out the picnic gear, heading to a local farmers’ market to shop for goodies and then packing up and enjoying a picnic at Tanglewood, nothing says summer like that. Don’t forget the candles and vino.
- Driving to Mt. Greylock to enjoy the five state view, then off to MASS MoCA for a concert and topping off the day with a beer flight at Bright Ideas Brewing.
- Dressing up and treating myself and friends with a decadent meal at Wheatleigh. Their Mid-summer BBQ is not to be missed.
- Pick your own! In the summer there are all sorts of succulent berries but best of all are the apples and foliage in fall. Be sure to enjoy hot apple cider donut and a wine tasting or a Johnny Mash Cider at Hilltop Orchards & Furnace Brook Winery.
- Loading up the car after a snow dump and heading to one of our local ski areas to enjoy a rare New England powder day. #skiMA
