Gorgeous property and amazing wine, spirits, and THEY MAKE DOCS CIDER!!!! I've always bought it but never knew it was made so locally. Worth a drop by, they have a cool taste testing flight that gives you a nice little run down of everything and the bartender is amazing at explaining it all.

This is my fav spot to visit during the season every year! Their wines & ciders are SO delicious - I can't get enough of their pumpkin cider! If you don't know where to begin, they have tastings of their wines, spirits, and ciders so you can find your drink of choice. The staff is also super welcoming and knowledgeable during this so you learn so much about each beverage. It does get very crowded in the fall so plan your visit accordingly.

I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

This distillery is also has grounds you can walk around and explore (not too big though). We took a peek at their aging/storage room with wooden casks while there, as well as their distillery. We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

End: night cap to seal your evening in. I came with a friend at the end of our day and it was a nice way to just chat and catch up. It is not very loud so you can actually have a conversation. Definitely sit at the bar if you can: you get to watch the bartenders craft (and I intentionally mean to use the work craft) beautiful drinks. You are surrounded by so many lovely smells as they toast mini marshmallows with a torch or smoked wood to add different elements to elevate your drink experience. Pricey? Yes. Fun? Yes. Tasty? For sure.

Denning's has been a part of the Beacon scene for years. Over time, the quality of the stuff coming…read moreoff their stills has improved measurably - the Beacon Bourbon is, in fact, pretty righteous and there is usually a turquoise-topped bottle of the stuff front and center on my home bar. A real bourbon aficianado friend of mine from out of town, after tasting it, looked at me shocked and wanted to know where the heck it came from!!! Also, the Friday Happy Hour at Denning's is a real treat. The prices are very, very Happy Hour-esque and even if you hang for a while after you're not going to get murdered like you would other places in town. Alana (their amazing bartender) mixes great drinks, all featuring Denning's booze. Amy, the hostess (who mans the tasting room) is as welcoming and nice as they come. The room has its charms! It is a distillery, not a super high style bar though. So set your expectations accordingly. But I am a big fan and you will find me here with regularity as I roam the streets of town. Worth a quick detour off Main if you are an out of towner for sure.

So praise to the bartender!! At first the lady in the tasting room was kind of rude, maybe she was busy with a group or something but didn't like how she didn't invite people in. The place was empty at one point and would have been nice to have a welcoming face when come in into the Tasting room. Later on I wanted to purchase something and taste some of the liquor which she offered very nicely! I think is important for them to show that the tasting IS NOT FREE, you get 3 shots of your choice for $5 (which is a pretty's reasonable price in my opinion) if you buy something the tasting is free tho. So keep that in mind before purchasing a bottle or the tasting experience!

Typically they have u-pick flowers for $15. Inside there are many options for hanging out, you can even go upstairs where there are more couches and chairs. The food truck outside was a nice touch, and it's cool they switch it up for variety.

We have been to rum…read moredistilleries in Jamaica, but never to a bourbon distillery in our own country, so we were very happy to try this. It was only about an hour or so away from our house, so this was a real treat. Even though it was a cloudy day in March, the distillery was so beautiful. We can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the summer. We ended up having a private tour since no one else had signed up for the 11am time slot - fine by us! Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything in great detail. After the tour, we had our tasting. The tour and tasting we chose was The Hillrock Distillery Tour & Barrel Proof Tasting with Cheese & Charcuterie Plate - worth every penny! The bourbons were all absolutely amazing and the charcuterie plates paired perfectly with them. We ended up buying our two favorite bourbons, along with a pair of glasses and a hat for my husband. We are already trying to find another occasion to visit. Who knows...maybe we'll try The Founder's Tour next time. Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special. He was smiling for the rest of the day.

Today, I was surprised that in addition to the bourbon that I genuinely enjoyed a number of the eyes. Big fan of Hillrock and will be back.

Excellent local distillery in the Catskill Mountains of upstate NY…read more My girlfriend and I visited on a Saturday afternoon in May after hiking for a few hours. Business was slow so the woman serving drinks offered us a free tasting of their four main liquors: vodka, gin, maple spirit, and rye whiskey. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to give us detailed descriptions of each one. I'm no liquor expert but the gin and maple spirit were both delicious. We bought a bottle of each and can't wait to tuck into them later. We stayed for a few cocktails as well and really enjoyed their pleasant tasting room. If liquor isn't your thing, they also offer a few local wines and beers. Highly recommend checking this place out when you're in the area!

They offered free tours AND tastings, created seasonal cocktails, and even possessed a full event calendar. Their tasting included the Vly Creek Vodka, Drie Brook Rye Whiskey, FirGIN, and the Catskill Mountain Maple Spirit. The vodka was uniquely composed from wheat and apples, giving it a hint of sweetness and making it smooth enough to drink straight. The rye was excellent and not overly harsh, and the gin was packed with various herbs. The maple beverage was 80 proof and resembled a sweet rum or bourbon. I was not the hugest fan of the gin, but the others were all terrific! Also, the woman that hosted our experience was a complete sweetheart! There was a bar where you could order cocktails that included their products and a lounge in which to enjoy them. I opted for a seasonal blend of vodka, lemonade, and watermelon that was freshly-pressed by the owner. It was strong, but also tart and refreshing. The Union Grove Distillery provided a highly engaging and informative tasting, as well as a comfortable environment in which to enjoy their crafted liquors.
