Shawangunk Wine Trail Beverage Tourism Partner Program
The Shawangunk Wine Trail is the premier wine destination in New York’s Hudson River Region. We’re proudly one of the top tourist attractions in the Hudson Valley, drawing over 150,000 visitors annually and rising.
About The Shawangunk Wine Trail
Historically, we are home to both the oldest vineyard and longest operating winery in North America. Our winery members include Angry Orchard, Applewood Winery, Baldwin Vineyard, Benmarl Winery, Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery, Clearview Vineyard, Glorie Farm Winery, Magnanini Farm Winery, Palaia Winery & Meadery, Robibero Winery, Stoutridge Vineyard & Distillery, Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, and Whitecliff Vineyard. In 2022, We’re very excited to welcome City Winery Hudson Valley to the Shawangunk Wine Trail.
With the increase of wineries, distilleries, and cider producers in the Hudson River region and their interest in becoming a member of the Shawangunk Wine Trail or simply cross-promoting their business through our marketing channels, we have developed the SWT Beverage Tourism Partner Program. This 12-month program is a great opportunity for these specific businesses to take advantage of many valuable marketing opportunities for a very reasonable investment.
