    Absolutely loved our experience at Saxtons River Distillery. We had heard amazing things about their Maple Bourbon and had to give it a try. This bar was one of the coolest places we've been. Lots of fun games (we loved the shuffleboard table!) and great cocktails! They also had a cat that roams around the building and it's so friendly and sweet. The honey bourbon is so yummy and we loved everything we tried. You can also bring your own food to the bar as well. Will definitely return!

    *** 4,300th review *** My husband wanted to explore some local distilleries, and Saxtons was open on this given Sunday and right off I-91. We had a pleasant time talking with Tim, learning about the Saxtons liquors and what makes their different offerings distinct. For the tasting, we tried 4 of 5 available liquors. Tim steered us in the right direction and encouraged us to try to rye even though we initially planned on skipping it. Don't skip the rye! It is much more unique and has a nice spiciness. We were also impressed with the coffee liquor, which can be drunk straight or mixed in with cocktails or stout beers (a greasy chain, we learned!). Their gin, the most prized liquor, was very good for those who like floral gins. I was a little surprised to pay for our tasting even after dropping $50 on bottles to bring home. It's pretty common for the tasting price to be waived upon a purchase.

    Sampling options.....I did all five

    The tour is well worth it and the gift shop well thought out. Saxton's product is excellent whichever flavor catches your fancy.

    I'm so glad we found Tour with Donovan after searching for tours of the wineries in the Hudson…read moreValley. Donovan is awesome. Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

Donovan set up each reservation so I had to do nothing but, book my trip with him and when he arrived he even had champagne and bottled water for us! At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.

I have had several bad experiences in the past with other car services. Either they didnt communicate in a timely fashion, or they showed up in dirty cars, or they showed up late, or drivers were just plain unsafe. Alliance took the time to explain to me the processes they took to ensure that the cars were on time, drivers safe, and cars beyond the usual clean that is expected. When they arrived I was blown away. The car looked like they had just picked it up from the showroom floor. The best part for me was that they were not only on time but in fact early! The driver was professional and safe and didnt mind our change of plans that altered our route. Without question Alliance is who I will continue to use for any time I need car service. I frequently refer friends, family, and colleagues to the service and those that have used Alliance have all said the same about the service that I have.

The owners, who are multi generational farmers work the land, share story behind how their wines came to be and some of what you can expect to taste. It's unpretentious, and feels like you're visiting a family, friend or cousin. Their tastings allow you to try whatever your palate is drawn to, or you can sample all of their offerings. Feel free to bring your own food including cheese and crackers, or sweet confections to pair with the wines. Our three favorites were the maple wine, the St. Croix, and the ruby red. The apple and peach wines are also very unique and flavorful. The winery specializes in cold-weather varietals, and whether you are a fan of sweet or dry wines you will likely find something that hits the spot.

We tried about 8 different wines varying in flavors (peach, honey, apple, sweet and dry red) and they're all made by the lovely couple who run the vineyard. Truly felt like "eating/drinking locally". They have a beautiful front porch overlooking their vineyard and barn. The best part was Mark and Pepper, their cat and dog who hung out with us while tasting! Thank you Amy!
