The Millbrook Vineyards and Winery boasts award-winning wines, 130 acres of land, and a wider selection of European grapes than any other winery in New York State. Acclaimed by both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, half of the winery's product is Chardonnays, and a third of the rest are Pinot Noir. The Chardonnays boast bright aromas of various fruits, depending on the type, with a silky finish; the Pinot Noir greets you with earthy aromas, and tastes of rhubarb, cherry, and raspberry. Both wine types are aged in American and French oak barrels.
At Millbrook, there are guided tours and wine tastings every afternoon of the year except holidays. From Poughkeepsie, take U.S. Highway 44 northwest, and it's located slightly past the Taconic Parkway on State Road 82.
