I'm so glad we found Tour with Donovan after searching for tours of the wineries in the Hudson…read moreValley. Donovan is awesome. Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

My 8 friends and I took a 5 and a half hour tour with Donovan and it was beyond perfect. Donovan…read moreworked with me on planning the entire itinerary and made sure we were visiting wineries I'd never been to before that would fit the type of vibe I was looking for, since I was the birthday girl. Donovan set up each reservation so I had to do nothing but, book my trip with him and when he arrived he even had champagne and bottled water for us! At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.

There's definitely something to catch your eye, especially at the bar. Reminded me of a Tuscan beach bar shack It's quite adorable with the cozy room off to the side decorated with a teapots. The outdoor yard area is also spacious. Convenient parking that you can see the horses near the stable from. It's just a quick drive and easy to locate from Albany. I would highly recommend without hesitation.

The property isn't huge, but there are several gathering areas: in front, inside the tasting room, and a smaller section on the other side. The tasting room is clean and chic, and the staff were all smiles--engaging in light conversation and explaining the wines and offerings well. Whether you like dry or sweet white wine, they've got you covered. The Hortencia is a nice, crisp white, while the Traminette is sweet and smooth. The great thing is that you can even combine the two, and you've got the perfect summer white wine blend.

I drank the Hygge, dry white, tried their new sparkling off dry rosé, left there as a wine club member and a half case. Need I say more? Trust me, u want to visit & stay awhile, a real class act.

She asked if the server had told us about it, and when we said no, she turned around and loudly quipped, publicly, at the server for failing to tell us about the shindig. That definitely turned me off - tell your staff after the customer goes, please. To make matters worse, she was bragging about how much the neighbors to the winery hate their Halloween party because of the loud revelry. I don't think that's something to be proud of.

Out of the four, the '24 Traminette stood out. It had a nice lively honey flavor and was very refreshing. Usually, I'm a big fan of their reds, but found them to be tasteless.

They also had a few local vendors inside which made the space even smaller. They don't seem to take reservations for a group of 4 but we got lucky and were able to get seated, although cramped. I'm not sure if they have a food/snack menu here as we weren't presented with one. But one of the vendors were doing grilled cheeses & tomato soup and it was very good. The wines were very well priced. I didn't particularly love any from my two sets of flights I did but I ended up taking home a bottle for family.

Neverstill Wines are made from estate fruit sourced from the Hidden View Vineyard and other nearby Finger Lakes vineyards, but Hudson is our home. Before Henry Hudson lent his name to the Hudson River, it was known as “the water that is never still,” an ode to the impatient, ever changing tide of the Empire State’s main waterway. Today, the Hudson River still inspires awe- linking the upstate agricultural bounty to the isle of Manhattan, the highland peaks to the endless sea. Like the river from which it gets its name, Neverstill is a wine that links all of New York, from the Finger Lakes to the Hudson Valley.
