As you probably know, the Hudson Valley is home to dozens of wineries, making it something of a Napa Valley on the East Coast. From the Shawangunk Wine Trail in Orange and Ulster Counties to the wineries east of the Hudson River in Dutchess and Columbia Counties, there seems to be no shortage of Hudson Valley vineyards. While sunny days present as the perfect opportunity to tour them all, these wine clubs offer bottle subscriptions and exclusive deals so that you don’t miss any new releases.
