Stopped by on Saturday 7/26 for a quick tasting. it was reservations only but was kind enough and…read morelet us in with out reservations. The hubs got sloop juice bomb IPA which WAS light and delish. I had the white flight. It was a nice variety in the flight. I am a Chardonnay girly but the Millbrook was too light, I'm more buttery gal. Surprisingly I loved the Pinot Gris. My second best was the dry Riesling. The charcuterie board was good, the meat selection was good, there was a spicy selection which was my fav.Over all the winery was top notch, good selection of whites, good beer for non winos. The ambience was industrial yet modern which I loved. It was light, airy . 10/10 too bad it's so far from home.

The charcuterie platter is as decent. I expected more of a variety of cheeses. As a group we had…read more4 different wine flights. Some of the flavors did not suit my taste buds.

This winery has been operating since 2010 and my wife and I have made the one hour drive to get…read morenumerous times the past few years since discovering it. It's a small batch farm winery and OMG they have the wines dialed in! Whites, reds, fruity, cooking, dry, sweet... so much variety and the grapes are actually grown here too - not just bought somewhere else and processed. It amazes me how many options and varieties they continue to offer! There's a whole better experience have a tasting when the maker is the one serving and can tell you EVERYTHING about it. One of my most favorite things about the wines here is that I never get a headache. These wines are not overloaded with sulfites like the bulk wines at distributors and stores. Their prices continue to stay in the 10's to teens range even though it apparently makes it harder to keep things running at a time everyone is tightening their wallets with everything else costing more. When it comes to owner-operated wineries, Hummingbird Hills Winery is a whole new level in quality and enjoyment when expertise meets love and passion in wine making, which is why my wife and I keep making the trip here to re-taste and restock. They've even added an off-grid getaway cabin on their property nestled up on a hilltop in an old apple orchard that they list as The Nests at Hummingbird Hills. It's so quiet there and with so little light pollution the stars during the night are amazing!

Had a wonderful time at Hummingbird Hills Winery on Sunday afternoon. A tasting that was…read moreeducational and involved a lot of unique flavors. Quality: While I didn't fall in love with any particular wine at Hummingbird Hills Winery, the experience gave me a greater appreciation for the creativity and challenges involved in the process. They had a few standard white and red wines, but the menu is filled with lots of fruit wines and specialty wines. Bink's Blackberry Burst was a highlight of the fruit wines, really capturing the blackberry flavor. The speciality wines are even more unique, Goofy Garlic Ginger, Hummingbird Coco Red, and Lion's Tooth Blend, which is a Dandelion Wine. Each one with a cool story and history. Quantity: Wine Tasting came with seven selections, and we ended up trying a few more. Value: $10 for a Wine Tasting. Ambiance: Hummingbird Hills Winery is located in upstate New York, not too far from Albany. They have a large property where they grow their own grapes, and flowers. The tasting room is in a large building. It has bars on both sides with plenty of stools for guests to utilize. Reusable boards and markers allow guests to make their selections so the process moves smoothly. The rest of the tasting room is full of local food items and crafts. Crowd: Several other couples and one family enjoying tastings. Service: Incredible, two passionate and creative individuals running this winery. Parking: The snow forced them to move parking away from their main buildings and near a garage.

We showed up within an hour of closing, but were greeted and served without issue. We sat outside and opted for the wine flight so we tasted 10 different wines. All of the wines were very good with only a few being overly sweet or overly tart. We also got a $5 dollar off coupon from the wine tasting which we used towards buying two bottles of wine. They have a decent selection of wine to choose from and all of the bottles range from mid $20-30.

The property isn't huge, but there are several gathering areas: in front, inside the tasting room, and a smaller section on the other side. The tasting room is clean and chic, and the staff were all smiles--engaging in light conversation and explaining the wines and offerings well. Whether you like dry or sweet white wine, they've got you covered. The Hortencia is a nice, crisp white, while the Traminette is sweet and smooth. The great thing is that you can even combine the two, and you've got the perfect summer white wine blend.

Steven is a blast - he is so incredibly kind and funny, keeps the drinks flowing, and gave good vibes! My favorite of the tasting was the sparkling rose - it was so good we ordered 2 additional bottles, and a few more to go. I honestly really liked all of the wines in the tasting. Some noms are available, and they are all plated beautifully. The outdoor seating with the firepits provided a perfectly cozy & rustic atmosphere. The chickens were also a plus!! They are so cute. Highly recommend!

We did a tasting of 5 different wines for $7 - the Lazy Days Dry Rose, Untamed Red, End Post Red, Riesling Semi Sweet, and Blueberry. You can pay $10 to keep a souvenir glass! My favorites were the Untamed Red and the Blueberry. The Blueberry went really well with some Sparkle too - almost like a blueberry mimosa. We ended up bringing a bottle of the Untamed Red back with us!

This spot is…read morevery cute and pretty spacious with an outdoor space in addition to a bar and restaurant - if you're looking for a spot for food and with activities (corn hole, connect 4, etc.), this place is a good option! The table was a bit sticky when sitting down, but otherwise it felt pretty clean. The food was decent - I found the appetizers much better than the entrees. Fries and peppers were very solid to share. The dish I got was extremely bland and had no flavor, I had to drench it in hot sauce to get even any sort of taste; if I were eating this place solely based on the food, it'd be a 3, however the additional activities and the drinks raised this to a 4. The drinks were solid, we ended up buying a bottle of their sweet white wine afterwards since we liked it so much. Service was good, food came out pretty quickly. Waters were a bit sparse, but other than that, we felt well taken care of. After eating, we spent an hour or so at one of their outdoor covered spots to play games. I'm unsure if they require a reservation or anything, but we were the only ones out there and no one came out to talk to us so I assume if it's free, you're able to go out. Overall, we enjoyed our time - I probably wouldn't come back, but I think it was a nice spot for brunch when visiting Saratoga for a one-time meal.

I especially love the Esperance location for its gorgeous views and the option to sit outside by a bonfire. The stunning views are matched by the fun, Nordic-inspired interiors. The decor, seating, and bar all add to the atmosphere, and even the bartenders fit right in! Service is great--they're so sweet and knowledgeable about the meads as well. As for the mead, it's absolutely delicious. I recommend trying a flight to sample the different flavors before picking your favorite for a full glass. I loved them all, but my top pick has to be Loki's Lure--a rich blend of coffee and cacao. Other favorites are the Heritage and Black Currant. The one thing I do wish the meadery offered is snacks. It would be nice to have something to munch on while enjoying the drinks. Beware of the mead though--it's so tasty and goes down so easily, you might find yourself tipsy before you know it!
