2 Wine, Food & Fun All Within the Beauty of the Hudson Valley The Hudson Valley, where American winemaking began... Some of the oldest vineyards in America are found in the Hudson Valley. French Huguenots planted the first grape vines in New Paltz in 1677, almost 100 years before any vines were planted in what was to become California. The first commercial winery was established in 1837, now known as Brotherhood Winery. Today the Hudson River Region has more than 20 operating wineries and there are more than 200 wineries operating in all of New York State, over half of which grow the grapes they use to make the wine. Entering its 12th year, the Hudson Valley continues to celebrate the bounty of New York wines, food and agriculture. A registered New York Farm Market, the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest presents wineries from all over the state, gourmet specialty foods, regional restaurant specialities, fine crafts, home goods and craft beer to more than 20,000 patrons over the course of 2 days each September.
