The Benmarl Winery is located in Marlboro, NY, which is only about a half-hour from our bed and breakfast. This gorgeous winery overlooks the Hudson river and lays claim as the oldest vineyard in America! It is a 37-acre estate that has been consistently making premier wines in our region as they are committed to making small batch wines that capture the essence from where they are sourced. The annual sangria festival has become a favorite for locals and visitors alike and it is coming up July 14-15, 2018.
Admission is $20 online or $25 at the door and non-Drinkers and children 13 and up are $10. Your ticket includes tastings of their six homemade fresh fruit sangria’s and a tasting of their bottled White Sangria and their famous bottled Red Sangria.

There will also be a variety of food to purchase during the festival as well.
