On Saturday, I went out with some new friends to the Warwick Winery in upstate NY. I had never been before, but had heard a lot of great things about it, so off we went!
The first stop was
Applewood Winery. I was a little disappointed because the cafe was closed for the season, and I heard they had amazing cider donuts. The wine was ok, but the views stole the show.

The second stop was Clearview Vineyards. Apparently this is only their second year being open. The wine here was better than the first. It was run by a cute older husband and wife. We sat and had fruit, wine and cheese on their gorgeous wraparound patio.

Our last and final stop was
Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery. This place was PACKED! It was also much larger than the other two wineries. Luckily we were able to get a table for all of us. We noshed on pizzas (lots of brick oven pizzas), pulled pork sandwiches, and fries. And of course more wine! Their best seller was called Black Dirt Red, because of the black dirt where the grapes are grown. I picked up one of those and a Black Dirt Blush which I haven't tried yet. They had live music from 2-5, so after eating we went outside, threw down some blankets and relaxed in the sun until sunset. It was an absolutely amazing day!

ReplyDeleteI love going to Warwick winery!!! The pizza is fantastic. I love their pumpkin apple cider. My favorite wine is their Harvest Moon. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I can get the sign that says "Wino Xing". LOL
I love Warwick Winery! Their ciders are absolutely amazing and those pizzas are delish too. I've never done a wine tasting there but I have gone apple picking at their orchard. But Sundays are the day to go — live music, have a boozy little picnic, perfection. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. I need to find a good winery to go to!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Warwick Winery. It's so good, and gorgeous. Their Framboise (sp?) is one of my faves. It's a raspberry cider if I remember correctly.
