This is a sponsored post. I was hosted by Hampshire County Massachusetts 



This past weekend the Mister and decided to head to one of our favorite neighboring states.
! I could not have asked for better weather. If you follow me on Instagram and Twitter, I took you along with us during our amazing adventure. We started our day off with brunch at this amazing restaurant and concluded our evening with dinner. With lots of fun and lite bites in between. It was so much fun exploring downtown North Hampton and enjoying the breathtaking views from the vineyard. Recapping on our amazing adventure below.

Brunch

The Ultimate brunch experience. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast from their French toast with Blueberries, chocolate chips, to the coffee. This is one of the best breakfast spots restaurant that we’ve been to. If you're planning a trip to Hampshire County Massachusetts, you have to stop Jake's Resturant for Brunch.








Downtown North Hampton

Shopping at Downtown North Hampton was steps away from Jake’s Restaurant housing tons of small owned businesses and shops. Some of my favorites were and enjoy a snack on your own PINCH, Essentials, Belly of the Beast, and Tart Baking Co.



Tart Baking Co






Wine Tour & Tasting 

We then ventured off to an Estate tour and wine tasting at Glendale Ridge Vineyard. We learned so much about making wine. We met with the owner and the winemaker who was super knowledgeable. The views at Glendale Ridge Vineyard were simply breathtaking. I love that they have a wine club and host events onsite. How cool is that?!
























Smith College Museum of Art 


We ventured off to the Smith College Museum of Art. I could have spent all day at this museum. I actually can’t wait to schedule another visit. On the 1st floor, they have rotating exhibitions. Can’t wait to see what they have coming next. I love how they have each floor categories. We started on the first floor and concluded our visit on the lower level.













Shopping at Thornes Market Place

Thornes Marketplace is 55,000 square foot of a shoppers paradise. Every detail of this contemporary shopping center has an old world charm from the pressed tin ceilings, hardwood floors to their staircases,
They pretty much have everything that you could think of and then some. Two of my favorite stores were the ASSEMBLE ( a playground for vintage lovers. They have so many unique pieces ) and Cedar Chest. I wish I had a Cedar Chest in my state. They just had everything.













Dinner at Eastside Grill

We concluded our evening at Eastside Grill. I honestly, could not have thought of a better way to conclude our evening. I love how spacious this restaurant is, and how they also have a bar area which is a major bonus during baseball, basketball, and football season. Everything we ordered was delicious. From their gorgonzola spinach dip to the pumpkin cheesecake. So Yummy! I honestly, could not have thought of a better way to conclude our evening.













Whether you're looking for the perfect romantic getaway or your next family-friendly day trip destination. Make sure to visit Hampshire County, the other side of Massachusetts.
