Wow, what an amazing time we had, celebrating my daughters 30th birthday!…read moreHoj, Kelly and everyone along the way made her day absolutely amazing. HoJ was an amazing tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the area and all of the places we visited. We were made to feel so special at each and every place and especially on the bus. Everything was arranged for us so it made it even more enjoyable and Hoj took amazing pictures for us to remember the day! The drinks and food were delicious, the ride was so much fun and the bus was spotless and comfortable. If you are looking for a fun, exciting experience like this, don't hesitate, book it soon! I promise you, you won't regret it! I am spreading the word because it was an amazing, unforgettable day! Thank you again!

What an incredible experience! I highly recommend booking with this company. They were…read moreresponsive, patient, and organized throughout the entire booking process. On the day of the event, it couldn't have gone smoother. Everything was executed perfectly and we were even treated to an impromptu tour of the brewing facilities at one of the locations. We will definitely be booking with them for another event in the future.

Whaleback is like a Bed & Breakfast style experience. Situated in an older, but attractive…read morefarmhouse, Whaleback offers an experience, based around comfortably sitting on the porch and enjoying a friendly conversation. 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!

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!

My 8 friends and I took a 5 and a half hour tour with Donovan and it was beyond perfect. Donovan…read moreworked with me on planning the entire itinerary and made sure we were visiting wineries I'd never been to before that would fit the type of vibe I was looking for, since I was the birthday girl. 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%.

This place is outstanding. My girlfriend and I were driving through on our way to New Hampshire and…read moredecided to take a short break here. It's a small and unassuming place, and the owner, Andy, immediately came out and greeted us. He could not have been nicer. His knowledge of wine is incredible--as are his wines. What started as a wine tasting turned into buying bottles of everything we tried, plus a couple others. I strongly recommend visiting this spot if you're anywhere nearby. You will not be disappointed.

It's not often that you stumble upon a place you're glad no one knows about. I nevertheless write…read morethis review (my first) because Northern Cross Vineyard is a gem that should be yelled about from the tops of the emerald hills of Valley Falls. Andy, the owner, has created an experience like none other. In a cozy former post-office that seats no more than ten, Andy is generous with his time and passion-project, the award-winning wine he makes from his vineyard across the street. The tastings are absurdly cheap, and his pours generous. For the two hours I sat at his bar, time slowed to a blissful crawl. I live three hours away, but I'll be back to this magical place as soon as I possibly can.

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 greater upstate area is so flush with excellent, interesting breweries that a dank and…read moreuninspiring beverage center would seem somewhat unnecessary. But that would be a short-sighted take once you get a look at the incredibly diverse selection on sale here. Wisely with a strong local focus featuring a lot of options from great upstate options like Common Roots, Bolton Landing & Brown's, but really some surprises from across the northeast (e.g., Mast Landing). Diversity of regions and styles with even some imports, but the option to stock up on a case of your generic favorite rather than hit the craft beer if that's your preference. Prices seem fair--not a huge bargain but perfectly reasonable. Service could be a bit more involved or enthusiastic but if you track them down they'll begrudgingly answer a question or two if you need.
