the sprited side
Glendale Ridge Vineyard Southampton
Hampshire County ’ s breweries and wineries are multiplying faster than we can tap a keg .
In fact , Western Massachusetts is home to over one third of the state ' s breweries , and our Valley Beer Trail has 48 destinations for craft beer . We ’ re suckers for handcrafted beer brewed right on site , small-batch wines that come with a stellar view of our valley , and pubs and restaurants serving our favorites with a side of fries or oysters .
