"At Bovina Farm and Fermentory, you can dine outside in the summer months or warm up inside the idyllic farmhouse with an ale. Either way, it’ll be one of the most romantic meals you can have in the Catskills. You’ll need to send a few emails to make your reservation, but by the time you drive up the winding road to the remote farmhouse, you’ll have forgotten that the internet exists. The tasting menus are hand-written in loopy script to describe elegant, homey dishes like tender meat in celeriac mash or glazed root vegetables, and table dressings like vintage earthenware jugs make the whole evening feel like you've wandered into a 19th-century French still-life painting.
