If you’re looking to enjoy the best of the best when it comes to New York’s wine, most people tend to head out to the many vineyards and wineries that make up our Finger Lakes Region. So when I tell you that one of the most fascinating and historic wineries in our state is hidden away down in the Hudson Valley, you’d have a right to feel slightly surprised.
With that said, not only is this place known for being the country’s oldest winery, it also offers something else that most of our state’s wine-themed attractions don’t offer – and that’s an underground wine cave! Take a peak.
A historic attraction that's been producing wine since 1839, Brotherhood Winery is the oldest winery in the entire country.
These gorgeous buildings are also where you'll be able to shop around for the winery's delicious beverages, with everything from wine to cider available here.
Decorating areas of the caves, you'll get to see informational signs that give you greater detail on the winery's history and actual pieces of the past that have been well-preserved here.
Aside from the never-ending view of wine barrels that line the halls of these underground, you'll also see plenty of rows and even locked away cellars full of wine that's so old it's covered in dust that's been around for longer than you've been.
Brotherhood Winery is located at 100 Brotherhood Plaza Drive, Washingtonville, NY 10992. If you’re ready to plan a trip to this historic winery, please choose to visit during any hours between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
