New York state has many vineyards and wineries, especially in Long Island, Hudson Valley, and Finger Lakes. I didn’t know that you don’t need to go so far as to visit a winery. Red Hook Winery is a winery located in Red Hook, on the banks of the river, focused on viticulture in New York. That is, the grapes used for the production of wines are from NY State, from 15 different producers in the regions of North Fork, Long Island, and Finger Lakes. Red Hook Winery has three winemakers – Robert Foley, Abe Schoener, and Christopher Nicolson – and each one uses their know-how to produce the wine, resulting in many variations.

The place has a social area with rustic decor, where you can taste wines from a selection of 70 types. You can order a glass or a bottle or try the tasting. The menu also has a selection of cheese and chips. The atmosphere is very cool, the staff is super nice, and the wines are a delight. I loved the experience!
