aren’t aware that the Hudson Valley has more than 20 local wineries, many of
them family-run, that produce everything from sparkling wines to dessert wines
and liqueurs.
It’s a
beautiful time of year to enjoy a leisurely drive to local wineries.
The holidays
are right around the corner, so why not support the local wineries and pick up
some extra bottles for friends and family members. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice
bottle of wine with dinner?
Here are
some local wineries:
