Labor Day Weeknd is coming up and that means a long weekend! There are many amazing unique places to travel over this weekend and private jet travel makes it easy and convenient to travel to these otherwise inconvenient locations. Spend the weekend relaxing in luxury in your own private escape.
Great Smokey Mountains, Tennessee
Experience the beauty of the mountains with breathtaking views, award-winning cuisine, and family-run farms. Have a truly one of a kind experience by spending Labor Day weekend at a blackberry farm! “Family-run Blackberry Farm even has their own…fireworks to light up the night sky and offers a culinary treat to boot–a BBQ battle with some of the most talented names around. For a spirited stopover in Tennessee, be sure to swing by the George Dickel Whisky Distillery in Tullahoma for the inside scoop on how they achieve that smooth, legendary flavor. Back at Blackberry Farm, raise a glass (of your own hand-blended casket)…you indulge in organic cuisine and artisanal cheeses, all sourced and produced on the vast property”.
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen is known for its skiing and winter activities but it has much to offer in the summer season as well. “After the crowds of the Food & Wine Classic have headed home, what’s left is something else entirely. Framed by dramatic mountain peaks and the most incredible scenery to boot, uncover the delights of Aspen…as you embark on a raft of unadulterated outdoor activities. From hiking and biking to paragliding and white-water rafting, there’s never a dull moment here. When you’re not exploring the mountains, Aspen itself is home to a burgeoning arts scene with quaint cafes, luxe shops, and fabulous restaurants”.
Watch Hill, Rhode Island
A private escape over looing the ocean transports you to a different world. Celebrate on the beach far away from busy Newport. “The town of Watch Hill shines as a preppy patriotic enclave, and the Ocean House has its very own…fireworks that dazzle in the night sky….This year, the property has even unveiled a secret Veuve Clicquot Champagne Garden that is charming and private with stunning views”.
