13-Time Emmy Award Winner Spotted Apple Picking in Western Massachusetts

The Berkshires of western Massachusetts are a truly magical place that both locals and visitors enjoy.

Tucked in the far west corner of Massachusetts, Berkshire County spans the length of the state, bordering Vermont, New York, and Connecticut. The mountains offer stunning views throughout the year, cultural hubs and historic landmarks provide an abundance of shows, exhibitions, and activities, and the culinary landscape is spectacular. It's no surprise that close to three million people visit on an annual basis.

While tourism in The Berkshires really peaks in the summer, Fall is the most stunning time of year. The fall foliage is like none other. Numerous prestigious travel magazines have named it the most beautiful in the world. That natural beauty, combined with perfect autumn weather and plenty of options for our favorite fall activities, it's no surprise that folks from all over the world flock to the Berkshires, Massachusetts in October.

One A-list celebrity who is no stranger to the Berkshires took time over the past holiday weekend to partake in one of our favorite fall activities, apple picking!
