Ive only been to Robibero before this, and its the same type of deal -- wine flights + free glass, $2 off if you buy a bottle. They have various flights: dry white, fruity, sweet dessert wines, rosé, dry red, whitecliff, bubbles... The fruity flight was $10 for 5 different wine tastings. The Rosé flight was $8 for 4 wine tastings. I really enjoyed the 2014 Traminette! That was the best out of all of them. Theyre also known for the Awosting White and Redtrail. They also serve cheese, so you can get some cheese and crackers and take your wine outside to their picnic tables outside and enjoy the sun (or shade).

We visited Whitecliff Winery on a lovely fall weekend and had an amazing visit. Their reisling was ah-mazing, far and away better than anything weve had in Napa. Everything we tasted was really good, well balanced and the woman in the tasting room was knowledgeable and helpful, but unfortunately I cant remember her name. We took a tour of the winery and walked away feeling like we knew everything to know about making wine. They really welcomed us like family. If youre in the area, Whitecliff is a must see. Well definitely be back!!

I went to the Harvest Festival at Bethel Woods and decided to taste their wine. The lady giving samples was ignoring me and letting others ahead of me who were obviously older. Maybe she thought shed let the elderly people ahead of me because they can afford wine and "I cant" ? Who knows. But when it was finally my turn, she poured the smallest amount possible into a shot glass for me to taste. I dont know whether or not she thought I was under age, but she could have simply asked for my identification instead of being so rude.

Bad winery. The people are rude and not interested in talking to you about their wine. You HAVE to ask them question and TRY to get some sort of a story, to feel the atmosphere, but all they do just answer your questions with a rude and snobbish attitude. There is no love in the wines their are making. Also I was there with my father, and they took him seriously while being absolutely ignorant towards me.

Took a tour of 8 wineries today on the Shawangunk Trail. Whitecliff is the only one my group would never recommend. The staff was rude and condescending. Pass this winery over if you are visiting the trail. Brotherhood, Robibero and Glorie wineries are much better choices. If I could give this place less than one star, I would.

WORST WINERY! I have been to many wineries in the Hudson Valley and this one is horrible..The owner Yancy/Nancy is very rude and condesending! The wine is garbage and from speaking to others who have been there I have heard the same. There are so many other nice wineries to go to..dont waste your time here.

This is a great winery. They had an award winning best in show wine for their 2009 Reisling. All the rest of their wines are great as well. The owner Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Great place to visit with incredible views.

This is the best winemaker in lower NY without considering LI. This is a must-go-to if youre in the Hudson Valley. Been a club member for years and couldnt believe anyone would rate this winery

These winemakers are serious and passionate about what they do! Perfect place to go for a tasting. Wines are great, beautiful setting, and very knowledgeable staff. Hudson Valley treasure!

A large variety of wines (and almost exclusively vegan!!), friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful view and atmosphere, and dog friendly, which is a HUGE bonus.

Amazing wines & friendly staff. Tour with owner during harvest is very informative. My favorites are the Gamay Noir and the Traminette.
