I've never had a bad meal, and the service is always spot-on, with a thoughtful system that lets you signal when you need something without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with great music, fun events, and a family-friendly vibe that makes it easy to relax and stay awhile. Whether you're inside or enjoying the outdoor seating, it's just an all-around great experience every time. Easily a five-star spot in my book.

Our day started with a Chinese tea ceremony in the barn and then a catered lunch. About 6:30pm, the ceremony with a live music started followed by passed hors d'oeuvre, fresh oysters, and wood fired pizza. The wood fired pizza was very delicious and I enjoyed the blackened shrimp and the arancini. I tried the cider and the rosé, but they were too dry for my taste. Then at 7:45pm, we went into the reception pavilion. The menu consisted of a salad as first course, a duet plate of salmon and beef short rib for entree, and dessert. The summer citrus salmon with the multi grain pilaf was very good. After first dance, father and daughter dance, mother and son dance, and speeches, the DJ told us to step outside. After a few minutes, the sky exploded with light. It was a beautiful fireworks display from the hillside. The bathrooms were stocked with essentials in the toiletry baskets. Red Maple Vineyard offers a rustic barn and reception pavilion, massive green grounds, and a beautiful garden.

9/14/25: Love coming to Fjord Vineyards!…read more We came for their Oyster Party Weekend. Marilyn greeted us when we checked in. She escorted us over to a table with a marvelous view of the vineyards. Maria was our wonderful and charming server. She came over with a complementary glass of their wonderful rosé wine. I'm not a rosé drinker, but it was delicious. We enjoyed a wonderful flight of wines. Our favorite was their '23 Double Fall Line $32. It has a marvelous smooth blend of Cab Franc, Merlot and Blaufränkisch (Austrian Blue) Grapes. Two bottles came home later. : ) Of course, we had to indulge in some wonderful lobster rolls. Each lobster roll was $23, plus for an extra $9 you get a nice dollop of caviar to top it off ! The lobster was from a company called Oyster Party in the NY area. I think the lobster rolls were some of the best I ever had. Just a couple of notes: - It appears the hill leading up to the vineyard was recently paved. Previously, it was extremely uneven. - Be sure to make reservations online. - Parking is available within steps of entering the vineyard. Can't wait to return! : D

We sat outside with a gorgeous view of the fall foliage and vineyard, which made the experience even more special. I did the wine tasting along with a cheese plate, and both were delicious. The service was a little variable, but that may have just been the day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and such a beautiful place to visit. We enjoyed it so much that we left with four bottles of wine! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Everyone on the property was so friendly and I love going to places that feel welcoming. As for their food I thought it was okay. The portion sizes of most of their meals were small bites. I personally wasn't blown away by the food I ate. Overall the location is beautiful and the service was excellent.

Out of NYC for a one day city escape in New Paltz, NY for joie de vivre, French for exuberant…read moreenjoyment of life, translated as "joy of living" or "zest for life." My day of a small party of three was certainty joie de vivre described an enthusiastic appreciation of everyday experience, including good food, friendship, conversation, art, leisure, beauty, and simple pleasures. The weather was mildly brisk cloudy with some sun emitted in NYS's Hudson Valley region. The grounds are beautiful scenic nature landscape and appears well maintained. I wish there was a willow tree which adds to the perfect setting of a picturesque landscape. I have a predilection for willow trees. Robibero Winery is open 7 days a week from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm and part of Shawangunk Wine Trail of NYS's Hudson Valley region. Other activities/ events available at select dates or seasons are grape stomping, bon fire pit, gazebo, and line dancing night. My party visited during their version of the Italian San Gennaro Festival with live entertainment. Food is available on the premise. Restroom facility is available on the premise. My party's primary visit was winery crawl. Robibero was our first stop. There is guided tasting featuring a selection of Robibero wines where it is $22.00 per person with a casino inspired coin labelled "RNY." Tastings are $22.00 per person and include a selection of four (4) wines. It is walk-in on a first-come, first-served basis with multiple tasting bars to minimize wait which was very crowded at the tasting bar. Wine bottles are available for purchase. Kevin, our server greeted with a pleasant, relaxed and calm disposition who was very informative, patient and attentive taking the time to serve and no scowl face emitted. I was indecisive for my selection, but Kevin served other parties while I made my selection. My selection is two white and two red. He permitted me to take a lot of photos of each respective bottle with my glass as props, without question and without a scowl face which are posted to this review. Tasting menu are widely available at the tasting bar counter for review. Kevin explained the grape, dry or semi-dry, including suggested food pairings and respectfully refers female customers as "my lady." Oh! I was satisfied with my experience. I sincerely hope Kevin continues his employment indefinitely. Robibero also carries Mead, a sweet honey wine. I am utterly bewildered and discontent with the high extortionate tasting price of $22.00 which I remember pre-pandemic era when tasting price was either $6.00 or $10.00. Oh! Let it go, it is officially a relic of the past. I suffer from the effects of this financial trauma. Wine tastings industry standard price currently in 2026 era is averaged $18.00 to $25.00 per person for four (4) or seldom five (5) wines due to the high extortionate rising operational costs, expenses, NYS minimum wage for staff, and including explosive persistent inflation factors to sustain a business in the current economic environment. Oh! Nevertheless, with acquiesce I would pay such high extortionate tasting price rather than wineries permanently close their business. Traminette 2024 (white) Floral aroma of orange blossoms and white flowers. Lychee and Asian pear fruity notes. It is a good white wine. New Yorkie Rosé 2025 (white) This is a blend of 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, whole cluster press. White peach with touch of acidity. 0% residual sugar. Dry wine. Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (red) Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot. Light, fruity, notes of plum and red berries. Aged for two years in French oak. I like this red wine and actually taste the fruity plum and red berries. The Stray 2021 (red) 100% Estate Cabernet Franc aged for eighteen months in French oak. Dark fruit, low acidity and medium finish. The name originated from the narrative of a stray dog who the owner found and later adopted. I surely enjoyed this red wine. I prefer low acidity wines with either medium, long or superior finish. Joie de vivre achieved. Cabernet Franc 2025 (white) 100% Cabernet Franc aged for ten months inside concrete egg. Strong mineral characteristics with strong cranberry and plum notes. I thought it was rather strong content. Estate Vidal Blanc 2025 (white) Notes of citrus, limestone, medium acidity in crisp finish. It is a good white wine in citrus flavor.

We ordered a flight to try all of their flavors and my fav was the Bigkid Juice. We also had the margarita pizza which came out pretty quickly after we ordered.

Whitecliff Vineyard is Gardiner, NY where it is 4 minutes (1.3 miles) from our last winery also located in Gardiner, NY and part of Shawangunk Wine Trail of NYS's Hudson Valley region. Whitecliff contains beautiful gargantuan grounds. Our party disliked the man and woman behind the counter who are both seemingly fend a hubristic negative energy. The pour was in a long shot glass served on a plate as it was a flight of wine accompany with wine tumbler. Our party was advised to take a table rather than tasting it at the bar counter. This is where I almost spilled my plate. It was a flight of wine similar to restaurant at dinner with a directional yellow arrow to start as per your choice in the tasting menu. I highly suggest to keep the tasting menu on hand when sipping each wine. The man or woman did not explain or give a informative lecture description when pour to serve. I was unable to take any photos of Whitecliff Vineyard wine bottles with my wine tumbler. The tasting menu obfuscate as it does not state the wine year or a brief description. The man and woman servers do not explain when pouring and the tasting menu is utterly vague which this does not justify as a proper wine tasting. I highly prefer wineries with a server who pour for libation and explain which is a conversation starter. It is the interaction for the exchange between customer and business for personalization service. It was a listing not a description are impersonal and stolid portraying the uncharacteristic "fend for yourself." Our party was not able to read the bottle description for more information. Patrons are to independently decipher and critique wine among your party to engage deep conversation as the interaction. There are tables with seating where patrons can dolce far niente, Italian for doing nothing for unhurried moments enjoyed without guilt or urgency to take pleasure in simply lingering. There is a large hardcover wine book which I flipped through descriptive of geographic regions, terms and sub-terms including grape of wine. The cash register is operated by Square which means sales receipts can only be obtained digitally either email or SMS text. There are no business cards are available, but a printed pamphlet is available for grabs as keepsake. My party did the Pick Four Wine Tasting, but I believe ALL wine tastings should be guided with a staff member explaining the type of finish, dry, medium bodied, fruits embedded, acidity, oak hint, any pungent odor emitted and including food pairings suggestions. There is the Guided Tasting for a pronounced $24.00 for six (6) wines. Pick Four Wine Tasting $19.00 Select four (4) wines for tasting which includes a brief description in 1.5 ounce pour each. Patrons use a erasable marker to indicate your choice. Riesling, off dry (white) Good aromatic, white grape variety originating from Germany's Rhine region. Good light to medium bodied. Gamay Noir (red) I remember this wine from a pre-pandemic visit at a NYC wine bar/restaurant where I ask my waitress for suggestion. I actually like this wine, joie de vivre achieved. Cabernet Franc (red) This was slightly stronger taste. It contains red fruits of raspberry, cherry, and strawberry, alongside savory notes of bell pepper. It is light-to-medium-bodied with high acidity. Rosé (sparkling wine) Sparkling white wine with a lot of carbon for bubbles emitted. I also enjoyed, joie de vivre achieved.
