Join us for a beautiful spring day out of the city and enjoy 4 things that the Hudson Valley is famous for; The Culinary Institute of America, Wine, and The Walkway Over The Hudson Historic Park.

How it works:

  • Your day will begin with the beautiful ride up the Hudson River Train line on Metro North.  Your guide will pick you up in Poughkeepsie, NY to start you adventure!
  • Our first stop will be lunch at “The Egg” at the Culinary Institute of America for the most amazing burgers, sandwiches, salads and grilled specials you will ever have overlooking the Hudson River (cafeteria style service). We’ll also take you through the main classroom area and see where the students learn their craft.
  • After your trip to the CIA you can walk off some more calories on The Walkway Across the Hudson Park.  This was an old train trestle that has been converted into a park 200 feet above the river
  • Once across your guide will bring you to a local winery for a flight of homemade wines.

**Please note that since everyone has different dietary needs and not everyone drinks alcohol, the lunch and wine tasting will be pay as you go**.

What is included? transportation to and from Poughkeepsie train to all attractions, lunch at the CIA, wine samples, host fee, taxes and tips.

Not Included: Train fare (you may also drive to Poughkeepsie)

Admission: $125  ($115 for VIP members)

You will likely be back on the 5:50 train to NYC at the latest.
