Today 3/21/16 4 friends from Vermont and myself went to Benmarl winery for a tasting. I did my homework on Facebook and google and they both said that Benmarl was open.(i know now to always check the company website ) When i was pulling up to the winery i herd a four wheeler pull up next to me. It was younger boy that I saw taking care of animals when we pulled up the driveway. He informed us that only himself and a couple of men that were working in the vineyard were there and none of them can give us a tasting. He asked us if the sign at the bottom of the driveway said closed but i was not sure. So he apologized to us and told us the correct business hours (12 until 5 Friday-Sunday until April then they are open all week 12-6). He followed us down the driveway and saw the sign did in fact say closed But nothing was blocking airheads like me from driving up the driveway. he apologized again when i told him There should be something there blocking us from driving up the driveway like a chain or a gate (i would say a traffic cone but it would look ugly and be an eye sour) There is a gate there why not close it? The only reason i am giving this winery 3 stars is because of how apologetic, Kind and knowledgeable the young man was and the view from the outside of the winery was amazing. I just hope that next month when i come for a tasting the wine is worth it and i get to meet the young boy again so i can see "the winery animals". He told me some cool info about the animals when i tried to make a conversation with him. I tried to find a picture of him on your Facebook or website so can give credit where it is due but i cant seem to find one. He told me his name but i dont remember. I believe it started with an A. but i am not sure.

My family and some friends attended the Pig Roast BBQ last week. 40.00 per person with Fireworks, or so thats what the ad said on their website. Well, 40.00 is just robbing people. Want to talk about stingy?? They marked your bracelet to assure you dont get seconds. They put hardly ANY FOOD in the dish (a small paper dish) and forget about the skimpiness on meat, we are talking 1 rib, 1 sliver of pig and about 1 table spoon of each side. And the 40.00 only includes a soda or water. This meal was worth a fraction of the cost. Then, to advertise fireworks in the Hudson valley? Yes, your on their mountain with a great view but the fireworks are from all the towns below you and you could hardly see anything!! You needed binoculars to see them! The point is, these people that run this place lost my business and I used to go there...and like it. They took advantage of ALOT OF PEOPLE with this event. Horrible way to do business and dishonest. The group I was with will never go here again either.

Beautiful location for a winery! I loved seeing the sheep and other animals by the parking lot. We fed them grass, and they were friendly. The tasting room is in one area, and across the pathway is a brick oven where a couple was making pizza. They also had homemade pumpkin soup, which was delicious! It was a cloudy, chilly day, so the soup was perfect. Theres a small gazebo or table and chairs where you can sit after buying a bottle of wine. The view is amazing! Its up on a hill, and you could see mountains and trees for miles. The only reason Im giving them 4 stars is because we arrived around 11:30am, and it was too busy to do a tasting. The entire bar area was full, and there were about 5 or 6 couples waiting their turn. We ended up buying a bottle of blush to enjoy with our pizza. If you want a relaxing outdoor experience, visit this winery.

I Love to send my clients and guests to Benmarl Winery. The setting is gorgeous it overlooks the Hudson River. The events they create are unique, fun and full of great food and some of the best wine in the Hudson Valley. The brick oven pizza is not to be missed its fresh and delicious with ingredients fresh from their garden.They also have a lovely BandB on site with stellar views of the Hudson River. At Benmarl Winery they graciously and professionally share their beautiful bounty. You feel the family and the staff enjoy your company and that makes you feel very welcome. I think that sets the tone for a great day at Benmarl and that keeps me coming back. -Christina Powers Proprietor of Miracles Day Spa

We just had our wedding here and they were AMAZING. They had very easy-to-follow rules (supply transportation for guests, music off by 10:30 pm at reception, caterers should remove trash). Casey was so easy to work with made planning the wedding very easy. The tent came with the fee paid for the wedding and they were very easy going with our vendors. Kathleen & Victor at the B&B took us in as their own kids and made our wedding day so magical! All of the guests also LOVED their wine!

Victor and his crew are awesome. Thoughtful and as accommodating as one could imagine for the bride and groom. Beautiful setting, great food, wine and the sangria!!!! Benmarl works so hard to make their customers happy. We are locals surrounded by beautiful wineries, but Benmarl was our choice. Theyve made new fans of each and every guest! Thank you so much! Warmly, Bob and Laura

A nice property in a rural area, with room to host an event. The main building has a tasting room and sales room (right and left, respectively). The tasting bar has a nice lookout window behind the bartender. The tasting was kind of pricey ($8 for 6 samples, $10 if you want to keep the glass), but the wines were good.

My wife and I stopped for a wine tasting during our anniversary trip. It was a great time. We bought the wine glasses with their name etched in as a memento. We recommend.

Just left without getting any service, after waiting in the counter and practically staring at the bar tenders while they walk around, completely ignoring us. Very annoyed

I really enjoyed the wine tasting experience with Andy! We selected six different wines and liked the way Andy was so personable and fun to learn from.

Beautifully set on a hill overlooking the Hudson River, Benmarl Winery is a great little spot for special events or even wine tastings.
