The Hudson Valley is a New York State region that stretches along the Hudson River from Westchester County to Albany, the state capital.

It’s known for its vineyards, orchards and farms, including sustainable-food champion Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.

The Hudson Valley is divided into three regions: Upper, Middle, and Lower.
