 12561 Ulster County Historic Hudson River Valley wineries School French Huguenots Highlands Prohibition  Shawangunk Mountains wine cellar scenic sights wines winery Adair Vineyards

845-255-1377 

Adair Vineyards is located at 52 Allhusen Road, New Paltz, New York 12561, Ulster County in the Historic Hudson Valley. Little known is the fact that wine growing was once a thriving industry along these Hudson River shores. The French Huguenots planted grapes in the Hudson Highlands in the 17th century and in 1870 a hundred tons of grapes a day sailed from Marlboro down to New York City. While wine making is not new to the area, it did fade in importance during Prohibition and did not, until recently, stage a dramatic comeback.

The beauty of the land is legend. One needs only to recall the glorious paintings of the Hudson River School artistes to visualize the grandeur of this magnificent valley. We often compare a visit to Adair Vineyards to a step into one of those 19th century paintings. There are similarities. Asher Durand’s painting in 1840 The Solitary Oak appears on our wine label. And, we have a solitary oak standing at the head of our vineyard. In his painting are cows, horses, mountains, and a stream. Our winery is housed in a barn, over 200 years old, once occupied by cows and horses, and has a stream running by with the Shawangunk Mountains in the background.

The vineyard is located next to the winery. In order to maintain the highest quality, our wines are created firstly with estate-grown grapes and then supplemented with additional varieties grown at a local farm which we have a close working relationship. Our 10 acres of vines are composed of two white varieties: Seyval Blanc and Vignoles, two red varieties: Foch and Millot. We currently produce more than 20,000 bottles and look forward to increasing our production.

In the wine cellar you will see how we make the wine, care for it to perfection and bottle it for our customer. Our wines range from dry to slightly sweet. Come to Adair Vineyards. Combine wine tasting at our winery with several of the other Hudson Valley wineries. Or stop off to see us on the way to some of the many historic and scenic sights. We know you will have a good time. Press "Blue Button" for more information about our wines and winery.
