Fall is officially in full swing, and that means that a lot of us are back in the city, whether it’s to work in the office or to reimmerse ourselves in the return of the city’s unmatched cultural events. Since the pandemic, though, taking a break from our busy city schedules has felt like a necessity for our well-being. Despite the end of a chaotic peak travel season in the airports this summer, people are continuing to escape their homes now, more than ever before, during the fall season. If the idea of missing your connecting flight or losing your baggage still horrifies you, we think the best country getaways are the ones close to home. And, what better way to wind down than to wine down? We picked five beautiful vineyards around the New York tri-state area that will help you forget you’re only a few hours away from your weekday responsibilities.
