MICHELIN Guide | The Best Hotels for a Country Wedding Outside of New York

Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection (One MICHELIN Key)

Gardiner, New York

Wildflower Farms is set on 140 acres a short car ride away from the end of Metro-North’s Hudson Line train. Here, dozens of stylish freestanding cabins host guests among flower meadows and a working farm that supplies the in-house locavore restaurant. With a campus so large and stunning, sites for a wedding are plenty. The Marigold Room, with its lofted ceilings and heated all-season porch, holds the biggest party.

Inspector Notes: Auberge was born in Napa Valley, but the brand’s expertise in luxe rural living is adaptable all over the world — from the California wine country to New York’s Hudson Valley. Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection finds itself in Gardiner, on a working farm that’s more properly secluded than many Hudson Valley resorts. Alongside its 65 luxurious and surprisingly stylish cabins are the expansive Thistle Spa, and outdoor spaces encompass the whole of this working farm — whose produce, not incidentally, provides some of the ingredients for Clay, a restaurant singularly focused on Hudson Valley flavors and a wine selection that’s truly global.
