This hilltop winery in Richmond seems to offer everything: from apple picking to hayrides, to live music, to full moon hikes. Little do most know that the farm’s extensive network of cross country skiing trails are also open to runners and mountain bikers, in season. You can combine these trails for an approximately 4 mile loop, starting straight from the Farm Store and Winery. Head up Reisling Run until it intersects with the Johnny Mash Trail, then take that loop up to Petry’s Peak, around Honey Crisp, and back again. The track is soft and easygoing, and the views from the hilltop and through the orchard are Berkshires scenery at it’s best. Note, some of the trails are quite hilly!  Pro Tip: A treat in autumn!

There is a $5 charge to use the trails, and you must sign in at the store, but most of the fee is donated to land conservation. Plus, you can make the most of your visit by following up your run with a tour and tasting at the winery, a treat from the farm store, or an apple picking session.
