History

Established in 2014.

Thomas Yozzo and Chris Moyer met in 1990 as fraternity brothers at Bloomsburg University. Over the years the two, their wives Jennifer and Jennifer and their children visited and vacationed together and discussed opening a family business. In 2012, Chris and Jennifer moved their family from Northern Virginia to Red Hook, NY and in July 2013 the two families purchased a small farm and apple orchard in Clermont, NY and began renovating the 150 year old barn. In 2014 Thomas retired from law enforcement and they opened for business.

Our current lineup includes Vodka, Applejack, and «Fine Shine», all made from local apples. We also have a gin made from New York grapes. In the Cocktail Grove we showcase the versatility of our spirits with fine cocktails and local light fare.

More than just a distillery, we invite you to a space where you can relax on the patio or lawn, enjoy a cocktail and a tasting, or learn about the spirits production process. Bring your kids, bring your dogs, w

There could not be a nicer staff! Enjoyed some applejack and learned about it too. Beautiful place too.

We came up to the area for the weekend to celebrate a friends birthday and she wanted to try out this place. I had found it accidently online while searching for things to do over the weekend. We started out in the little bar on the property with hot toddies made with their own applejack. It was a chilly day and the toddy was the perfect thing to warm us up! We asked for the recipe and they gave it to us. There were only 4 of us on the tour which made it feel intimate. One of the owners (really nice guy too) gave us the tour. We asked a lot of questions and had a good time. I’m not much of a hard liquor person but went along with the program. Out first try was the vodka, boy of boy was that potent stuff, it warmed me up really fast! The second two tries were their applejacks, these were more mellow and the last try was the gin. In my opinion they were all good but I purchased the applejack to make the hot toddy at home. It was fun and we learned a lot and got to see a modern day still.

Fantastic small distillery in Hudson Valley. Met the husband and wife owners and they are beyond friendly and awesome. Took the short tour of the actual distillery with the owner who is beyond knowledgable about his craft. If you are in the area, this is a no brainer must stop location. They have a really nice little bar on premise which serves all different drinks with their own alcohol. Awesome experience!

So I’m at a friend’s house in Kingston, NY and we’re looking for a something to do. Friend suggests we go to this new distillery across the river near Red Hook. We wanted to go for a quick trip and ended up spending a few hours there. The owner Tom and his wife are super friendly, knowledgable and give one heck of a tour. All of their products’ ingredients are sourced within 9 miles of their distillery/farm, which is cool. Even better their vodka and applejack (I think that’s what it’s called) is really, really tasty. (This coming a guy who drinks mostly only beer and wine.) There’s also a little bar are where you can enjoy some of the spirits they make there. (Try their Vodka with homemade ginger beer, it’s awesome.) Seriously, this is a great place. I will definitely go back… this time with even more friends. So go there. You will enjoy it. Promise.

I have been on a few distillery tours and this was one of the most enjoyable and informative!
One of the founders Thomas Yozzo conducted our tour which was wildly entertaining! What do you get when a Newburgh NY cop sets up a distillery? A really hilarious and deeply personal tour.
Informative and genuinely enjoyable even for my largely tea totaling mother in law, a winning combination!
Highly recommended when entertaining guests in America’s Highlands.
How I miss it!

Super cute, small craft distillery owned by a family originally from Northern Virginia. All of their batches are made from apples grown on the property, and they’ve got the cutest little tasting room for you to hang out in.

We visited Hudson Valley Distillers during their grand opening weekend in late June. They had a pig roast as well as a band playing and it was a nice, laid back atmosphere. The distillery is set in an apple farm which was beautiful and added to the overall atmosphere.
We had a distillery tour with Tom, one of the owners of the distillery. It was a very informative background on the distilling process as well learning about some of the things that make Hudson Valley Distillers unique as craft distillers. Tom’s passion for producing premium craft spirits was evident during his tour.
Following the tour we had a tasting of their applejack and vodka. I really enjoyed their hardscrabble applejack which is aged oak barrels. The vodka is also made from apples which gave it great sweet finish. We ended up buying a few bottles of each.
The tour and tasting were well worth the visit and will return when we need to restock! We also can’t wait to taste what other sports they produce.
