We celebrated my daughter Ellen's wedding at Hudson House Distillery, and I truly cannot imagine a…read moremore beautiful place or a more wonderful experience. From the breathtaking setting to the extraordinary food and the care of the owner, Melissa, it was everything we could have hoped for. The beautiful old stone house overlooks the Hudson River, with a gorgeous 4,000-square-foot deck and colorful fall foliage all around. We were fortunate to have a warm, sunny October day, so the ceremony took place outside with the river and autumn trees as the backdrop. Watching my daughter get married in that setting is something I will never forget. The banquet room where we held the reception was equally beautiful--spacious, wonderfully lit, and decorated so perfectly for the wedding. The food deserves a review all its own! For cocktail hour, gorgeous displays were set up throughout several rooms on the main floor and in the bar area, and our guests enjoyed sitting both inside and outside. It was honestly the most delicious food I have ever had at a wedding, and our guests could not stop raving about it. Ellen's signature cocktail was a cosmopolitan--a perfect choice for my "Sex and the City" girl--and it was a huge hit. We chose an upgraded sit-down dinner with four entrée choices, and the salmon and short ribs were absolutely outstanding. Every plate was beautifully presented, the portions were generous, and the accompanying sides were just as delicious. Even after all that wonderful food, the wedding cake and the additional flourless chocolate cake were unforgettable. Having the entire property to ourselves made the celebration feel so personal and special. And Melissa brought everything together beautifully. She orchestrated the whole event seamlessly, with everything timed perfectly, allowing us to enjoy this incredibly important day. Our guests told us over and over that it was the best wedding food they had ever had and one of the best weddings they had ever attended. I know my friends, and they would not say that unless they meant it. As the mother of the bride, there are no words to fully express what it means to see your daughter have such a beautiful wedding day. Melissa and Hudson House Distillery helped give Ellen and Anthony memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives, and I will always be grateful. If you are considering a Hudson Valley wedding, especially during fall foliage season, I cannot recommend this extraordinary place highly enough.

But the food was so well prepared that it should be recognized. We started with a very tasty pork belly bao with hoisin sauce. Their house salad was a very well presented and interesting salad. But they knocked it out of the park with their entrees: roasted branzino with asparagus in a beurre blanc sauce and a strip steak served on a bed of caramelized onions and mushrooms in a bordelaise sauce. In particular, the steak, ordered medium rare, came out tender and perfectly cooked, and was of very high quality. Finally the sticky toffee pudding cake was served warm and was delicious. I would highly recommend the food here. Kudos to the chef!

We were so enthralled by the beautiful, relaxing, and wonderful experience. It's in a beautiful area next to a gorgeous lake and they had really sweet workers. Even though it was a little over an hour drive we will definitely be coming down here again.

The staff is also super welcoming and knowledgeable during this so you learn so much about each beverage. It does get very crowded in the fall so plan your visit accordingly.

There's definitely a following and a stopover crowd, but you're bound to leave with some new knowledge and a wetted whistle. The tasting price is perhaps a little steep, but the uniqueness of each of the products makes it worth it, especially if you think you might buy something to take home. Everything they do with maple is glorious, and the rye they make using Japanese barrels - while their most expensive - is very, very good. They also have a maple cream ($30) that is delicious. The shop also contains a lot of cute merch as well some single-bagged snacks. Check out the fridge in the back for Other Half beer (and others) and non-alcoholic drinks, too. And plan to stay a while! There's plenty of outdoor seating and fire pits.

Everything about this space feels thoughtfully designed and curated. It's such a fun little gem right here in Pine Bush.

We've really enjoyed the pop-up food vendors they've brought in, and when there isn't a vendor on site, the bites they offer are a great addition. And the cocktails! I honestly haven't had one I didn't like. They're creative, beautifully made, and showcase the spirits so well. I'm also loving the eclectic mix of live music they're bringing into the venue. It gives each visit a little different personality and makes The Baldwin feel like more than just a place to grab a drink. It's becoming a true local experience. Such a great addition to Pine Bush. Thoughtful, welcoming, creative, and just a really fun place to spend an evening. We'll definitely keep coming back!

It was only about an hour or so away from our house, so this was a real treat. Even though it was a cloudy day in March, the distillery was so beautiful. We can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the summer. We ended up having a private tour since no one else had signed up for the 11am time slot - fine by us! Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything in great detail. After the tour, we had our tasting. The tour and tasting we chose was The Hillrock Distillery Tour & Barrel Proof Tasting with Cheese & Charcuterie Plate - worth every penny! The bourbons were all absolutely amazing and the charcuterie plates paired perfectly with them. We ended up buying our two favorite bourbons, along with a pair of glasses and a hat for my husband. We are already trying to find another occasion to visit. Who knows...maybe we'll try The Founder's Tour next time. Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special.

Business was slow so the woman serving drinks offered us a free tasting of their four main liquors: vodka, gin, maple spirit, and rye whiskey.

If liquor isn't your thing, they also offer a few local wines and beers. Highly recommend checking this place out when you're in the area!
