Hudson Valley

I took advantage of my #WinephabetStreet co-host's, Debbie Gioquindo aka HVWineGoddess, expertise and spint the weekend in the Hudson Valley. It is less than an hour and a half drive from New Jersey and the scenery is amazing. There is so much to see and do, and in Debbie's book, Tapping the Hudson Valley, she shares it all with you.

I began my weekend at Angry Orchard. We enjoyed some cider while playing cornhole, jenga and even connect four.  I tried to get an interview, however, since they are "corporate" there was no one there with legal clearance. BUT, I did become close friends with the security guard, Willly, in the treehouse. Yes, you heard that right- treehouse!

 

Next up was Bad Seed Cider. As we pulled up, we were told to ask for Devin. On his card it states "Chief Everything Officer." I think that is the perfect title. This is a two man venture and I highly recommend stopping in!  On our visit, they were celebrating the Fall Festival.  For $30, you could sit at one of two bars and listen to live music. There was also a food truck. The cider was good and the cost was well worth it. 

The final stop before heading to our bed and breakfast was at Benmarl Winery. The views! Oh my goodness the views!!! I had the pleasure of interviewing the proprietor, Victor Spaccarelli, Jr was just the sweetest man EVER!!! You can just hear his passion in the interview. 

 

It was finally time to head to our castle for the night! Yep, castle.  We stayed at Wing's Castle in Millbrook, NY. The story behind this is a true story of Passion!
