Shawangunk Wine Trail

· New Paltz, NY

Why you should go…

Thirteen independently owned wineries, distilleries, and cideries make up this trail in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley, about 90 minutes from New York City. Winemaking in the area dates back to the 17th century, when French Huguenot settlers first planted grapevines here. Visitors can use a tasting passport to hop between member locations set against views of the Shawangunk Mountains.

General eat & drink guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
