The annual "Wreath Fineries at the Wineries" program began the first of three weekend events today at 15 venues on the Shawangunk Wine Trail.The self-guided tour hits 14 different member venues that dot the Hudson Valley. From the Capital Region, the trail is best accessed via the Thruway (I-87), Exits 16-18. This weekend and the weekends of December 3-4 and 10-11 will see wineries hosting visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
There are no single-day tickets. Visitors get to select their dates and pick a winery as a starting point. The event begins at check-in where visitors will receive a souvenir wine glass, a grapevine wreath, and a Shawangunk Wine Trail ornament (a couples ticket shares wreath and ornament). Then, it's off to have a wine tasting and pick up a different ornament from each winery visited.
Participating wineries are Applewood Winery, Baldwin Vineyards, Brimstone Hill Vineyard, Brunel & Rafael Winery, Clearview Vineyard, Demerest Hill Winery, Glorie Farm Winery, Palaia Vineyards, Robibero Winery, Stoutridge Vineyard, Whitecliff Vineyard, Benmarl Winery, Brotherhood Winery and Warwick Valley Winery.
