This weekend is the Hudson Valley Wine Festival at the Dutchess County Fair Grounds in Rhinebeck NY. I will be there at the Hudson Valley Wine Country booth so please stop by and say hello.
The Hudson Valley Wine Festival is a great event. There are wineries from the Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley that attend this festival. There is a nice variety of wines to taste and non wine vendors to purchase early Christmas presents from.
Visit these Hudson Valley Wineries at the festival:
- Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery
- Brimstone Hill Vineyard
- Brookview Station
- Cascade Mountain Winery
- Cereghino Smith Winery
- El Paso Winery
- Glorie Farm Winery
- Palaia Vineyards
- Pazdar Winery
- Warwick Valley Winery
- Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery (be nice to my daughter, their cashier for the event – wish her Happy Birthday, her B-day is Monday)
Some of my favorite Finger Lakes Wineries to visit are:
- Atwater
- Hazlitt (ok, my mother-in-law loves their Red Cat, but I like their vinifera wines)
- Heron Hill Winery
- McGregor Winery
- Swedish Hill (actually they won the Governor’s Cup – so see if they have their Riesling Sparkling wine to taste)
Tickets to the festival are $30 and there is a $50 two day ticket available. You can purchase tickets at http://hudsonvalleywinefest.com/tickets.htm . I hope to see some of you at the event.
