Just a few hours from the bustling urban landscapes of Boston and New York City, the Berkshires offers spectacular scenery, outdoor recreation, world-class cultural arts, and a thriving artisanal food scene. Candlelit dinners, colorful leaf peeping, moonlit cross-country skiing, and winding down with a couples massage are just a few of the many options for creating a memorable weekend getaway or date night.
For wintry outdoor adventures, try downhill skiing or tubing at Jiminy Peak , Catamount , Berkshire East, or Bousquet. Glide hand-in-hand across the ice on a frozen lake or Notchview or Maple Corner Farm on cross-country skis or snowshoes.
The Berkshire Theatre Group winter season brings comedy, music, and theater shows to the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield. Date-worthy events are also scheduled at the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington and if you are looking for some excellent cocktails with live, be sure to stop in at the Apple Tree Inn.
Looking to share a great meal or a delicious drink? Get a taste of Berkshire-made microbrews and distilled spirits at a cozy pub or tavern. Nibble on noshes and tapas as you discover a new favorite wine from the extensive selection at Brava.
Schedule an evening spa service together to cap off a day of adventure. Find a crackling fireplace and cuddle up. Stroll the grounds during a gentle snowfall, snowflakes swirling in the glowing lights along your path. Turn off your cell phones, and turn up the romance factor.
