Plan a fall escape to The Pridwin on Shelter Island, where crisp coastal air, vibrant foliage, and curated events come together for the perfect East End getaway. Each weekend features a lineup of complimentary activities like s'mores, kayaking, and movies in the Grove, as well as local experiences like wine tastings with our favorite regional vineyards. On Sundays, unwind with our new Sunday Supper Series-relaxed, chef-driven meals served on the lawn, celebrating the flavors of the season.
At Beach Plum Farm
Discover immersive itineraries, and a joyous celebration each weekend.
As the fall harvest begins, we welcome our Fall at the Farm celebrations every weekend beginning in September. S'mores by our cottage campfires beckon, and hikes around Cape May are beautiful this time of year. Fall marks Cape May's incredible Monarch butterfly and bird migration, and our series of autumn Rooted and Impression art retreat packages invite participation in-and inspiration from-these incredible natural phenomena.
Led by award-winning instructor Radhika Srinivas, Beach Plum Farm’s watercoloring workshop will offer personalized, one-on-one guidance for guests of all skill levels.
Hayrides are a hallmark of the fall Farm Cottage guest experience—included in every cottage stay, each and every autumn weekend.

At The Virginia
Discover new fall tastes on Jackson Street.
This fall at The Virginia, the Richmond Room Dinner series kicks off in September with a collaboration dinner with Beach Plum Farm. Always innovated and exceptional, these dinners are a way for Executive Chef Jason Hanin to flex his creativity and cook with new influences. “There are a lot of fads in the world of food and beverage” says Chef Jason, “and I've never felt drawn to those. The same basic principles apply. Take your craft seriously and never stop learning, never stop being inspired.”
In addition, The Virginia's Sweet Amalia Oyster Getaway package affords guests the chance to experience the world of oyster farming firsthand. On the storied banks of the Delaware Bay, you'll receive a shucking lesson and an oyster tasting led by Sweet Amalia's experienced oyster farmers. And, to round out your stay in Cape May, you'll enjoy a world-class dinner in the Ebbitt Room that incorporates tide-to-table oyster recipes from Chef Hanin.
“Take your craft seriously and never stop learning, never stop being inspired.”
