Wine Cellar Tours
Experience the historic atmosphere of America’s oldest continuously operating winery, through one of our unforgettable winery tours and tastings. Located in Washingtonville, New York, our guided tours take visitors on a leisurely stroll through our vast network of underground wine cellars.
Excavated by hand in the late nineteenth century, these dimly lit cellars house more than two hundred oak barrels and feature a crested vault containing some of the oldest vintages in America. Few Hudson Valley wine tasting and tour experiences offer the opportunity to explore such unique underground spaces.
Our knowledgeable guides reveal the secrets of these mysterious vaults while sharing stories of the winery’s colorful past—tales of ambition, folly, and triumph that helped shape one of the most historic wineries in the Hudson Valley.
After the tour, guests can test their wine tasting skills in our modern showroom and enjoy the many flavors and textures Brotherhood wines have to offer both new and seasoned wine lovers.
Guests are added to tours on a first-come, first-served basis.
No pets are allowed inside the building. Pets are welcome in our outdoor wine garden.
