You will be privately touring two of the top vineyards in Dutchess County. First stop is Clinton Vineyards, this vineyard been around since 1976 and specializes in growing a single grape.  They are nationally recognized for the success of their Seyval Blanc but have expanded to a wide plethora of complex full bodied wines. This 100 acre vineyard is as stunning as its wine is delicious. Clinton Vineyard is said to be “a jewel in the crown of Dutchess County”.

The next stop on our wine tour is Millbrook Vineyard and Winery. This landmark establishment is said to be the “flagship winery of the Hudson Valley”. This lovely 35 acre vineyard has plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Riesling and an Italian grape varietal called Tocai Friulano. It doesn’t stop there, Millbrook has its very own restaurant on site called the Vineyard Grill. Grab a light lunch, taste some wine and stroll around their gorgeous property.
