1. Great Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
200-foot falls located on the Housatonic River.
Reviewed By Eric S - Branson, Missouri
The bridge over the water and falls were just average. Just getting done with Kent State Park and Bull's Bridge just a little ways to the south made this seem not as impressive. Stand alone it was just average.
The directions on the cities website also need to be updated as you can't really access the falls from Falls Village without a little walk. From the other side of the river it looked like you could park a lot closer.
It was an okay stop, but not really worth the time it took to jump off Hwy 7 and check it out.

Beautiful racetrack in a gorgeous setting. Great racing at a well maintained facility. Fun camping as well. Walk the track after the racing is done. No hook ups for camping but bathroom and showers available. Walk through the pits and get up close to the cars and drivers. Been to sports car and antique car races here and enjoyed both. Well staffed.

Ascend this popular peak, which once drew 19th-century literary giants, and from its summit gaze across the spectacular landscapes of the Housatonic River Valley.

A gem no doubt, I recommend this hike for just about everyone except those on wheelchairs. With something for everyone, there is an easy route a moderate route with a hike along the top that will get your heart pumping. It was packed on Saturday so come early. Hint: pay for parking before you go - I missed it completely and found a note on my car gently reminding me of my financial obligation to pay- nice touch. I promptly and happily paid my 5 bucks at the kiosk. With the fall foliage, you’d have an even better experience if you go now, but would be a great hike anytime.

Have been here numerous times to view many shows.
This is a small intimate venue with no outlandish lighting or high powered sound.
Just a very relaxing venue with basic but effective effects.
Venue brings in many big name acts that no longer play the larger concert venue but opt for a smaller up close and personal venue.Highly recommend that one should check out this hidden gem.Enjoy the Bistro before the show.
5. Les Trois Emme Winery

Les Trois Emme winery is owned by the sweetest couple - Mary Jane & Wayne who treat everyone like family! We make the trip up from Connecticut every time they have their blues guitar player Bruce Gregori there - he's great! We love their Shiraz-Cabernet blend and their appetizers they give you with your tasting are delicious! We've been to a lot of wineries, and this is by far our favorite!

6. Land of Nod Vineyard and Winery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
Reviewed By Lynne P - Georgetown, Texas
We were on the CT Wine Trail while we stayed at the Interlaken Inn and this one was relatively nearby. We found 2 particularly good wines for CT, one a blueberry mix which is delightful for a summer afternoon. It's located right down the road from Beckley Iron works so a must see if you're at the winery, especially on a Saturday when there's someone there to show you around. The farm has been in the Adam family since the late 1700s so it's a nice little step back into history.
7. Music Mountain

Reviewed By Bumpkins - Brockton, Massachusetts
Chamber music concert by the Amernet Strong Quartet - Peter and the Wolf, selection from Cypresses by Dvorak, and his Quintet for Double Bass and Strings -- what can I say! This summer music program has been going strong for 84 years so you know that they are doing something right! The seating is first-come, first served -- sit in padded 'church pew' type benches. The walls of the hall are real knotty pine and the warmth of the wood must make the acoustics perfect -- the sound was lush, exquisite, amazing.
Park on the lawn, short walk to the hall, air conditioned if needed. We went to a 5 pm "Russian" dinner at the Inn at Falls Village and then this 6:30 sunset concert.
If you are in the area during their season, do not miss the experience. musicmountain.org

In the remote northwest corner one would not expect to find a world class nordic ski jump facility but this little town thinks big! The annual SWSA (Salisbury Winter Sports Association) annual Jumpfest is a fabulous winter sporting event. It is supported throughout the year with other notable happenings, such as the October "Brew-ski" offering 35 different breweries tastings and chili cook off, at the base of the jumps. A beautiful setting and a terrific organization.

Good local spot to taste and purchase locally distilled spirits like gin, vodka, and some young bourbons aged in a variety of barrels (scotch and assorted beers) imparting different flavors. Didn't stay for the tour, however, did appreciate the opportunity to taste several varieties before...MoreChristine, Thanks for your review! Glad you liked our Berkshire Bourbon. One correction, our bourbon is not blended with rye but rye is in the mash bill in the Berkshire bourbon. Hope to see you again soon!
10. Harney and Sons Tea Tasting Room
Overall Ratings

International tea tasting room where teas are imported and blended.
Reviewed By Deborah M - Sharon, Connecticut
So sad the Harney's left CT and moved over the line to busy Millerton, but I doubt they are. They have a lovely shop, which is pricey, but pretty and the teas are fantastic. They serve a fantastic lunch in a warm cozy spot that great on these cold winter days. In the summer they have an outdoor dining area.
which is always full on Sat. as THE best farmer's market in the area is across the way!
