The Dutchess Wine Trail leads you past the vineyards, orchards and farms that provide the bounty of the beautiful Hudson River Valley. Along the way, sample wines that have gained international recognition while you tour wine cellars and chat with owners and winemakers.

The Dutchess Wine Trail takes you to Alison Wines & Vineyards, Clinton Vineyards & Winery and Millbrook Vineyards & Winery, all within a half hour of each other and just 90 minutes North of New York City.

En route, you'll pass by thoroughbred horse farms, dairies, orchards, woodlands, lakes and trout streams that will transport you to an earlier, simpler time. In addition, there are the Gardens of Wethersfield and Innisfree, as well as the fabled mansions along the Hudson River.

With many fine restaurants, country inns, bed & breakfasts and antique shops throughout the areayou will find ample opportunity to relax in rural splendor and enjoy the country life.

At the wineries, you will discover a wide range of wines, from Methode Chapenoise Sparkling Wines, to Table Wines and Dessert Wines which have won medals in National and Internation Competitions as well as praise from wine critics across the country.

So come, visit our wineries and sample our wines, each a taste of seasons past: The snows of winter, April showers, summer sunshine and crisp fall nights. It's all there in the bottle, waiting for you.
