This was our second wine tour with Crush Wine Experiences, this time to the Hudson Valley. Our group of gal pals had a delightful time. Our guide Sam was awesome, funny and the best expert to guide us through our wine tasting journey. Thanks Sam for making my group feel like VIPS. We loved the tasty lunch provided at Benmarl Vineyard. We had enough time to leisurely enjoy glasses of wine and purchase bottles to take home at both wineries. The last stop to the local farm for tasty cider donuts was a nice end to a lovely sunny day, enjoying the picturesque mountain views among the vines. I've been on our other wine tours but Crush Wines Experiences feel more personal and are not rushed. Special thanks to our courteous driver Ricardo who safely got us around. Crush Wine tours are a great value and I highly recommend for a fun day exploring wine.
Thank you so much for joining us again and for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your Hudson Valley wine adventure was such a fun and memorable day for you and your friends.

This was my second wine tour with Sam. I've done both the Long Island and Hudson Yards tours with him now and they were both amazing experiences. The wineries we visited were beautiful (arguably the Hudson Valley views are better) and had a wide variety of wines for tasting. We were a mixed group of 14, friends/family, and everyone enjoyed their day! Sam is such a wonderful host, and elevates the wine tour experience with the wine education, jokes, and personal stories. He checks in on each individual to make sure your experience is stellar. You are also well-fed during lunch!! We had more than enough to go around, but if you're peckish by the end of the tour, the farm market stop is perfect for the fresh apple cider donuts, which is a MUST try. Sam, you will have to let us know if you ever run a Finger Lakes tour!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and your very kind words! We appreciate you coming back for a second time and experiencing the Hudson Valley!
The Hudson valley tour by Crush Wine Experiences is wonderful. First, the views are incredible. It is hard to believe that the bustling borough of Manhattan is just a few hours drive. It was serene and beautiful. The wineries were equally fantastic and beautiful. The wine selections are varied and they have something for everyone. The brick oven pizza that we had for lunch at Benmarl was so delicious and the farm market apple cider doughnuts were so good. Our tour sommelier, Sam was knowledgeable, humorous, and he was very friendly. Our driver Ricardo managed to maneuver our bus through a downpour thunderstorm. He was steady and accommodating to all the guest. He made all the passengers feel safe and comfortable.
