About Us

The northern salt line of the Hudson River—where brackish meets fresh water—flows through Poughkeepsie. Just as these waters mingle, The Salt Line at Vassar brings together perspectives, flavors, and cultures in a warm, welcoming setting. Our farm-to-table menus celebrate the bounty of the Hudson Valley, connecting guests to the land, local farmers, and the vibrant community we call home. Whether you're visiting the Inn or Institute, or you're a neighbor from just down the road, The Salt Line is a place to gather, share, and savor.
