Hudson Valley

The beautiful valley that frames the majestic Hudson River is a fertile area of charming river towns, historic sites, agricultural bounty and artistic vitality. It has given rise to a wide range of craft distillers, winemakers, cideries and breweries. Its proximity to New York City and Albany makes it easy to explore on a day trip or weekend to experience the diverse and innovative distilleries and taste delicious spirits. Distilleries from Westchester through Orange, Ulster and Dutchess counties produce an amazing variety of fine spirits using the abundant farm products in the region including rye, corn and apple whiskey, gin, vodka, bourbon and unusual liquors such as fig, pear, apple and cherry brandies, Pear Eau de Vie, Applejack and Grappa.
