A hidden gem! Over the course of 37 years, Michael and Kathy Nerrie have created a nature preserve that brilliantly fosters and explains flora and fauna. Hiking through woods, meadows and across bogs put us in contact with trees, wildflowers, mosses, grasses, sedges, mushrooms, salamanders and lots of birds. The sound of nestlings peeping for food drew us to a tree-cavity woodpecker nest.. Most of Distant Hills is accessible to those with mobility challenges. Well worth a visit...

My wife and I visited Walpole Mtn View winery last weekend for their seasonal reopening. We’ve been there many times in the past (a “date” we treat ourselves to without the kids), so we were anxious for another visit. We visit family in New England every summer, and this is one of our “must dos.” It did not disappoint! The staff was so welcoming and really knew their stuff, both as usual. They attended to our every need and question. They have a very informative video after you make your wine sample selections, but we remember it from last year, so went straight through to their 3-season covered deck. It’s so pretty, and the view is fantastic. This year they have 26 wines on the menu. At our request, they told us the wines that may not be available for long, as the vintage is closing (selling out). Luckily, they still had our favorites, but we didn’t take any chances, so we bought a mixed case to last us for a while. They’re doing their tastings differently this year – you “build your own tasting” – each sample is priced separately, so you don’t have to pay a flat fee, and can borrow or buy their souvenir logo wine glass. With no flat fee, you chose how much you want to spend. And as always, all the wines they offer for sale are also offered for tasting. I had a pallet of 6 samples, and my wife had a glass of her favorite. We shared some cheese, crackers, and olive tapenade, and grabbed a couple of San Pelligrino sodas on our way to the car for the ride back. The food is pre-packaged, but a delicious, wide, reasonably-priced selection. Their flower gardens are outstanding this year. It was fun to walk around the vineyard and take photos of the grapes and the mountain views. I highly recommend this winery. We got there right after 11am, and it wasn’t the least bit crowded, the previous time (last year), we arrived around 3:30, and we had to wait 15 minutes for others to leave so that there was space for us. The 15 minutes flew by while we walked through the vineyard. They called us on our cell phone as soon as there was table space for us. It was getting pretty busy this time by the time we left. Good thing they have lots of seating on their deck.

A few weeks ago I got married at Alyson’s Orchard. I have to be honest – it was not our first choice as we had a Portugal wedding planned and rescheduled 4 times for 2020 thanks to COVID. However after accepting it just wouldn’t be feasible to have our wedding without our family there, we quickly changed directions. I decided to reach out to Kelly LaFort at Alyson’s to ask if I could go up and walk the property to see the various locations they offered for outdoor wedding venues. She was more than accommodating, helpful and honestly just a kind soul that I needed at that time of in a way grief for giving up on my planned European wedding. It was a mental battle for me to consider switching venues and plan a wedding in less than a months’ time before my in-laws headed back to Florida. The minute I drove onto the property I was impressed – I stopped at the store and I spoke with the lady at the register and she was like sure no problem go and walk the property and helped me to get an idea of where each of the (5) outdoor locations were. The minute I started exploring the property I literally had goosebumps, the entire orchid is just so serene and beautiful. I knew instantly I would find a location that would be perfect for us in my walk around the orchid. As I said they have (5) outdoor venue locations and each with a different backdrop! The first one I came to was a spot that overlooked the Farmland below Ann Marie’s Point of View. Simply breathtaking especially with the fall foliage, the next location was a little Pond called Sarma’s Pond and this is actually where we ended up getting married. Across from the pond there is an overlook that looks out against the mountainous backdrop again with the foliage it was phenomenal, Ilze’s Point of View was the name of that destination. Rachel’s Pond is close to the beautiful function hall. However Martha’s Point of View was on the backside of another pond that truly had a little bit of everything in backdrop, you got the pond, the wooded area, and in the distance you could see the mountains. I felt by far Martha’s Point of View had the most diversification of all the locations. I strongly advise you go up and take the hour or so and walk through and find the spot that truly speaks to your soul, trust me you will know it when it hits you! Now for Kelly, she went above and beyond every step of the way. We brought our own logs to decorate the outdoor venue, helped us with recommendations from everything to lunch deli platters for our small family guests to finding a transportation company to drive us to dinner, helping us with other vendors such as the rental of the amazing Draft Belgian Horses for our transportation to the wedding site, and she helped us with a company to rent chairs, and the arbor from. She truly was my saving grace in this 5th reschedule event for our special day. Every vendor she suggested was just as kind, caring, and amazing as she was during this process. We also stayed at the Rochambeau Lodge with our immediately family, we had 5 adults, 4 kids under the age of 16, and our little puppy with us. The lodge was perfect for us – it had more than enough space and we were happy to be up there the night before to get a rehearsal in, and truly make the site we wanted as we wanted it. The morning of the wedding I was decorating the arch and making the aisle with the logs, and decorating the logs with my decorations I brought (Tin watering cans with baby’s breath). Unfortunately it poured the day of our ceremony but we didn’t let that stop us – we brought E-Z Up’s with us and we made the best of it. Kelly was onsite and I felt was there for any questions or concerns I had. I truly can not say enough about our experience there. I am happy to talk to anyone considering their special day on their property. In my heart I feel you won’t find a more caring, and kind individual to help walk you through the process and make your day as seamless as possible for you! If your thinking about it don’t hesitate make the call or send the email and once you start talking to Kelly your mind will be put at ease!
