Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery

If I could leave 10 stars I would, that is how great our experience with Whitecliff was. Wife and I did a little mini vacation in Stone Ridge, NY and was looking for some tourist activities and Whitecliff tasting popped up.nnI called over to the winery to get more info, spoke to the owner Yancey who explained as it was Tuesday, they were closed but she was having some friends come by for a private tasting and I was more then welcome to join them. I was amazed that she extended the invitation and boy was I glad she did. We went and spent more then 2 hours tasting 10 different wines and each one was better then the next. If you told me I had to pick 1 wine that we liked the best it wouldn’t be easy but Two Cabs really was amazing. We left there with 6 bottles of wine that we’re looking forward to finish so we can buy more!nnI could go on and on about how great the wine was/is, but what really makes me want to give them 10 stars is how great Yancey is. I don’t think many owners of a business would invite strangers over to their business while it was closed. It’s nice to see an owner who really cares about their product and their customer. I could tell from speaking to Yancey how much pride they have in their product and how important the customer experience is to them. I’m pretty sure I’m never going to get an invite from the president of E & J Gallo Winery as he is probably in a board meeting about best way to maximize profits.nnIn summary, this place is amazing, and if you’re ever in the area, this is a must see.

My best friend and I took a trip up to Whitecliff winery right at the beginning of the new year. We absolutely loved it. The experience was awesome, the staff was so friendly, and we even took a bottle home. Sadly we ran out because it was so good! But they happily sent us 2 new bottles (that I’m sure won’t last long!) they were quick to respond to emails and questions, the new bottles of wine shipped super quick no problems at all. Will definitely be visiting again and most definitely recommend to others! You won’t regret it.

This is a wonderful and beautiful winery, and they are doing an amazing job during these tough times. You can tell they are going the extra mile to serve their customers and create a beautiful experience. Their wines are lovely and really well priced. They are following all the COVID guidelines and keeping everyone safe. Excellent place and staff!

The only winery I’ve ever been to that doesn’t allow you to enjoy a bottle of wine on premises “because of the liability issues..” It’s by the glass only, which I wouldn’t mind, but the folks running the place just aren’t friendly. The view is stunning, which is the only thing this place has going for it. With all the great options in the area, I’d suggest you by-pass this one.

I do not usually write reviews. But today I have to sit down and take my time and write about this place. Today is a Saturday. My family and I drove up almost 2 hours and anticipated wonderful winery experience. I heard many wonderful things about this place. We made an appointment for 7 people. However the limit is 6 people. My family member made a reservation and the worker said they can accommodate for 7 people. We were all excited.nnWe arrived and this guy with tattoos on his arms and legs said we cannot be served because we are a party of 7. We understand during this COVID pandemic and the responsibility to social distance and not gather in big groups. We offered to separate our group into two however this employee/manager said he cannot serve us. He did not acknowledge our reservation, did not apologize for the wrong information when they took our reservation and did not amend for their miscommunication.nnHe did not care for customers satisfaction at all. As when we exit the area some customers was upset for us. They said it was ridiculous and stupid. That guy offered wine to go however he gave us an impression he did not want us in his winery. He want us to at least buy wine from this place. We never even sat down to try the wine. Why would I buy something that was uninviting in the first place.nnPlease if you do go, do not tell them you are a party more than 6. Go in two groups and enjoy your time!
