Upstate Adventures With New York Honey: A Fall Day in Rhinebeck With Grape Ape

Late September is peak harvest season in the Hudson Valley, and Rhinebeck is one of the best towns to soak it all in. From apple orchards to local markets and cozy taverns, it’s the kind of place that makes fall feel like fall. The New York Honey Grape Ape AIO is the perfect match for the day — a sweet, grape-flavored indica that smooths out the body and keeps the pace easy.

Wake and Bake: Apple Picking at Kelder’s Farm

Start your morning just outside Rhinebeck at Kelder’s Farm, where you can pick apples, wander the pumpkin patch, or grab a bag of cider donuts still warm from the fryer. A few discreet pulls of Grape Ape before walking the orchard keeps the vibe mellow and makes the crisp fall air feel even fresher. The flavor lines up perfectly with the season — fruity, earthy, and easygoing.

Afternoon Delight: Exploring Downtown Rhinebeck

Head into the village for lunch and a slow walk through the historic streets. Grab a sandwich and fresh-baked bread at Bread Alone, then browse the indie shops and galleries along Market Street and Montgomery. The calming body high from Grape Ape keeps things unhurried, letting you sink into the charm of the town. It’s the kind of afternoon that flows naturally, with no rush and plenty to see.

Evening Rituals: Dinner at Terrapin

As the day cools off, settle into Terrapin, one of Rhinebeck’s most-loved restaurants set in a converted church. The menu makes the most of Hudson Valley produce, from hearty fall stews to fresh local cheeses. Pair the meal with a pint of local cider, and take a few more puffs of Grape Ape before sitting down. The strain’s mellow effects make food taste richer and the whole evening feel grounded and relaxed.

Final Hit

A fall day in Rhinebeck is all about seasonal flavor, small-town charm, and the kind of comfort you only get upstate. The Grape Ape AIO fits right in, adding smooth sweetness and a calming high to every stop. Keep it pocketed and charged, and let the Hudson Valley set the pace.
