"Situated on 265 acres of rolling hillsides and farmland, stone-framed Goodstone Inn sends out Hudson Valley foie gras, Japanese A5 wagyu, and gold leaf-flaked chocolate mousse in an exquisite, glass-enclosed dining room overlooking its lush Virginia estate (hotel rooms are even stocked with binoculars for birdwatching). For the ultimate special-occasion splurge in the countryside, consider the Conservatory’s five-course tasting option ($185) with wine pairings for $89 more. — Tierney Plumb" - Kalina Newman
