The accolades speak for themselves. Milea Estate Vineyard has been crowned “Best Winery in the Hudson Valley” by Hudson Valley Magazine readers three out of the last four years—a testament to our consistent excellence and the loyalty of our guests. But our recognition extends far beyond this prestigious local honor.

We’ve also claimed the title of “Best Wine in the Hudson Valley” and received the editor’s pick for “Best Food at a Winery in the Hudson Valley.” These awards reflect our holistic approach to the wine experience, where exceptional vintages meet culinary artistry in a setting that captures the essence of Hudson Valley beauty.

Our wines have earned international acclaim from the most respected publications in the wine world. Wine Enthusiast Magazine awarded our 2022 Farmhouse Cabernet Franc an impressive 92 points, while our Heritage Chambourcin earned an exceptional 93 points from the same publication. The recognition extends globally, with Decanter Magazine awarding our 2022 Gruner Veltliner 90 points and our 2020 Estate Cabernet Franc 92 points.

What truly sets this Hudson Valley winery apart is our diverse portfolio of exceptional wines that showcase both the terroir of our estate and the broader potential of New York State viticulture. Our winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the inherent qualities of our grapes to shine through in every bottle.

Our estate vineyard in Staatsburg features carefully selected varieties that thrive in the Hudson Valley’s unique climate and glacially-derived soils. From our signature Cabernet Franc—which earned that coveted 92-point rating—to our elegant Grüner Veltliner and distinctive Blaufränkisch, each wine tells the story of our terroir.

The Farmhouse Collection represents our commitment to approachable excellence, featuring wines that pair beautifully with food while expressing the distinctive character of New York State. Our Devotion Collection, meanwhile, showcases our most premium offerings, including the acclaimed Vincenza Reserve BDX Blend and our single-vineyard selections.

The recognition for “Best Food at a Winery in the Hudson Valley” isn’t just about excellent cuisine—it’s about creating a complete sensory experience. Executive Chef David Kim brings his expertise from renowned New York City establishments to our Hudson Valley setting, creating menus that celebrate both Korean heritage and local Hudson Valley ingredients.

What truly makes Milea Estate Vineyard the best NY winery is our commitment to providing a complete wine country experience. Our beautiful Farmhouse tasting room offers panoramic views of the vineyard and Hudson Valley, creating an atmosphere that perfectly complements our exceptional wines.

Visitors can explore our sustainable farming practices, meet our retired horses, and discover the rich history of our property, which includes a pre-Revolutionary farmhouse dating back to 1747.
