RYE, NY, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hudson Valley Magazine proudly announces the winners of the 2026 Best of Hudson Valley, recognizing more than 200 outstanding businesses, restaurants, professionals, destinations, and experiences that represent the very best of the region.

Featured in the September issue of Hudson Valley Magazine, this year’s winners showcase the people and places that make the Hudson Valley one of New York’s most vibrant and distinctive regions. From dining, wellness, retail, and entertainment to home services, destinations, and more, Best of Hudson Valley has become a trusted resource for discovering the businesses and experiences readers love most.

The road to becoming a Best of Hudson Valley winner began months ago through an extensive online nomination and voting process, generating hundreds of thousands of votes from readers eager to champion their local favorites. Following a competitive nomination and final voting process, more than 200 winners earned the coveted 2026 Best of Hudson Valley distinction.

The celebration comes to life on Wednesday, September 16, when hundreds of guests will gather at City Winery Hudson Valley in Montgomery for the 2026 Best of Hudson Valley Party, one of the region’s most anticipated annual events.

Guests will experience an evening filled with music, entertainment, immersive experiences, and interactive brand activations, along with unlimited samples from award-winning restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and beverage partners from throughout the Hudson Valley.
