APPROXIMATE TRAVEL DISTANCES
The allure of the Berkshires
in spring is a savory blend of
sweet mountain air, migratory
birdsong; rare wildflowers
found in forests and open
fields, and the return of locally
grown foods to our tables.
Nature, like us, sheds its
winter coat and greets the
season with a warm welcome.

SUMMER
With rolling mountains and
mature forests, winding rivers
and sparkling lakes, and scenic
back roads that pass by fields
and farmland, the stage is
set for the world-class music,
art, and theater that are the
main attraction of summer in
the Berkshires. Locally grown
foods are fresh and plentiful this
time of year, the ingredients for the creative culinary treats that await
you at breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a picnic under the stars.

of cultural attractions in

when Mother Nature gives
her greatest performance.

here
is
nothing short of spectacular.
Cool mornings warm to
comfortable afternoons and
segue into cozy nights by a
crackling fire. Get outdoors
and enjoy the view from a
mountaintop, a placid lake, or a scenic side route that ambles
toward the next town.

WINTER
As the quieter months of winter
blanket the Berkshires, there
is a chance to venture off
the beaten path for outdoor
recreation on a snow-covered
trail or make indoor discoveries
at museums, antique shops,
theaters, or an artist’s studio.
The holidays are an especially
magical time here for families or a romantic weekend away, with
festivals and pop-up farmer’s and arts markets.
