They took Silver for their ’11 Dry Riesling, ’10 Cabernet Franc, ’10 Proprietors Reserve, ’11 Slate Hill Red. Finally, they took a bronze for their ’12 Dry Rose. Sample the wines yourself to determine which is your favorite. Tastings with a souvenir glass are $10 and include 6 wine samplings.

The beautiful estate with panoramic views overlooking the Hudson River Valley is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine or to host a large or intimate affair. Outdoor weddings are common events held on the picturesque grounds in the warmer months, stretching from May to October.

The Winery features a Bed & Breakfast with one guest room. If the B&B is full, don’t despair! Continue along the Shawangunk trail and experience other wonderful wines until you come to another Bed & Breakfast, like the Caldwell House–located under 20 miles South-West from Benmarl Winery, or the Pine Bush House Bed & Breakfast, under 25 miles West of Benmarl.
