Nestled in the hills of New York’s Orange County, Warwick was a strategic encampment during the Revolutionary War for its location midway between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. Today, its draws are more of a tasteful nature: Warwick is considered by many to be the apple capital of the Hudson Valley, boasting countless orchards and an annual Applefest. The downtown area hosts a delightful Main Street that's chockablock with eclectic shops and eateries, none more storied than Baird’s Tavern—George Washington even stopped in for a tankard in 1783. More recently, the community has become a farm-to-table epicenter, drawing gourmands with artisanal agri-ventures like Angry Orchard Cidery, Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, and The Drowned Lands, a haute farm brewery fermenting experimental terroir-forward wild ales. Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or forever, it’s an upstate town you’ll love to its core.
