The Winery
Whitecliff Vineyard
sits on 70 acres opposite the Shawangunk Mountain chain located west of
the Hudson River (near New Paltz) and 80 miles north of New York City.
It is one of ten wineries of the famed Shawangunk Wine Trail and
is following in the tradition of French Huguenot settlers who brought
wine making to this scenic valley over three centuries ago.
Today, we're using the latest techniques in vineyard management and enology
to bring the best in European wine grape varieties back to this historic
area. Whitecliff is working with European vinifera varietals such as Chardonnay,
Cabernet Franc and Riesling, and quality hybrids like Seyval Blanc and
Vignoles, including a significant planting of Pinot Noir. And we are
pioneering use of Gamay Noir grape in the Hudson Valley for a Beaujolais Villages and a true Beaujolais-style
Nouveau.
Visitors are invited to sample wines in our tasting room and enjoy the
spectacular view of the Shawangunk cliffs from the deck.
