Tug Hill Vineyards
Beautiful, Family-owned Vineyard, Winery and Distillery
Established in 2007, Tug Hill Vineyards is a family-owned vineyard nestled in the Tug Hill Plateau region of Upstate New York. Our 40-acre vineyard overlooks the Black River Valley and Adirondack Mountains, making us one of New York’s most serene and picturesque estate wineries.
At Tug Hill Vineyards, all our products are made with natural ingredients. We focus our wine-making practice on the use of French-American grape hybrids such as Marquette, Frontenac, La Crescent, and more. These cold-hardy grape varieties are developed to withstand our famous harsh winters. Our new artisanal Liqueurs are produced using estate and locally grown fruits and maple syrup.
Come to learn about our products, enjoy the wine, and stay to take in the views from our beautifully landscaped gardens or the Banquet Hall’s screened porch.
Celebrating 10 years of growing cold-hardy grapes in Lewis County!
