Upper Hudson Wine

Discover Upper Hudson Wines

Upper Hudson wines offer a truly unique tasting experience shaped by the region’s cool climate, scenic landscapes, and pioneering spirit. Located between the Adirondack, Catskill and Green Mountains, the Upper Hudson AVA produces wines that are vibrant, refreshing, and distinctly expressive of place.

Wineries here specialize in cold-hardy grape varieties such as Marquette, Frontenac, and La Crescent—grapes that thrive in the region’s shorter growing season and cooler temperatures. The result is a diverse lineup of wines, from bright, fruit-forward reds to crisp, aromatic whites and refreshing rosés.

Visitors can expect:

Lively reds with notes of cherry, plum, and spice

Crisp whites with citrus, floral, and stone fruit character

Refreshing rosés perfect for warm-weather enjoyment

With their natural acidity and balance, Upper Hudson wines are incredibly food-friendly and ideal for pairing with local farm-to-table cuisine.

Whether you’re planning a day trip or a weekend getaway, the Upper Hudson Wine Trail™ offers a chance to explore a growing wine region defined by character, craftsmanship, and a true sense of place.
