Oldest riverfront estate in the mid-Hudson Valley region.
My daughter and I toured the home on a beautiful fall day. The view of the Hudson River was gorgeous; we could sure see why Livingston chose this spot! We went early on a weekday and did not have to pay for parking. We lucked out and were the only two people on our tour (the one behind us had a lot more). Our guide was excellent! Obviously knew and loved her stuff! I am a retired history teacher and even I learned stuff about Robert Livingston (Declaration of Independence, swearing in George Washington, Louisiana Purchase, Robert Fulton, etc.). The tour guide gave us a chart of the family which I referenced many times during the tour since the tour gave information about the whole family, not just their most famous member. I would certainly recommend this stop for any history lovers or people who love touring old houses.

We have been to Tousey several times now; and we truly love their wines, coziness, their great Halloween parties, and service. Our new discovery is their lunch time friendliness and the great food that matches their tasty wines. My husband's favorite is their Pinot Noir, while mine is their Killer Red, but if your are there during lunch time, Queen of Clermont (both sparkling and regular) with Duck Pastrami pannini is a great combo. Today we went as a family. Our kids loved their flat breads, and we enjoyed having great time as a family!!! If you are there for some ladies' time, I would highly recommend their Rebellion Rose, unfortunately so popular that it's sold out! Can't wait for the new series coming up soon!!! Tousey Winery is a great Hudson Vally experience with a friendly service. Looking forward to our next time in town!!!

Hudson Valley Distillers is a family/veteran owned business that was founded on the belief that what you put in is what you get out. We are proud to carry on the tradition of making spirits from fruits and grains sourced from local farms. We offer award winning spirits, signature cocktails, as well as local wine, beer and cider. Drop in for a quick taste or relax in the cocktail barn or cocktail garden with the drink of your choice and experience what we like to call "time well spent". We are open weekends and feature an on-site food truck to round out the experience. Enjoy an afternoon or evening here and take your favorite spirit or some of our new ready-to-pour bottled cocktails to enjoy at home!
I organized a tasting for a bachelorette party of 6. We were warmly greeted and the distillery was ready for our party right away. We had our tasing in the small bar area which was very clean and well decorated. Jennifer led our tasting and was very knowledgeable about the liquors and very friendly. This was my first time doing a spirit tasting and I really enjoyed it. It was a good value to do the tasting, you get to try all 4 spirits and a tasting size cocktail. After the tasting we hung out in the large outdoor patio, it is dog friendly and properly distanced. The bar inside serves spirits from the distillery as well as other local beer, wines and ciders. A perfect Hudson valley afternoon activity! I highly recommend the applejack spirit and the cocktails made with it!
