About Glorie Farm Winery

---

After being put up for sale in 2019, Glorie Farm Winery was lucky to start a new chapter if its life with current owners, Dan Heavens & Jacqui Ferreri Heavens.

This amazing couple have worked so hard to continue to build on what Glorie Farm Winery is.

Since 1979, Glorie Farm became a fruit farm and the winery was born from that in 2004.

What to do & drink at Glorie Farm Winery:

---

Upon arriving to this wonderful wine winery, the first thing that I noticed is that there are several places to park along the property.

Although I have been used to parking away from the outdoor space, like at Benmarl Winery, this actually worked well because it meant we did not need to walk a long way to the car after purchasing several bottles of wine. 😉

What to Expect Upon arriving at Glorie Farm Winery

---

Once parked, you check in at the welcome area and are greeted by the wonderful staff.

We were given an extensive list of wines that are included in our tasting. (see below)

---

Outdoor Tasting Area

---

The picnic tables are separated from each other throughout the property and each table guarantees a perfect view of the Hudson Valley.

We chose the picnic table farthest to the parking away and also farthest away from other people, particularly tables that had groups. We found the area that we chose perfect because it was close enough to see the amazing views of the Hudson Valley and also right alongside the apple trees and grape vines.

It was a win-win for us.

---

What are the wines offered in the tasting?

---

Upon arriving at Glorie farm winery we were offered a listing the wines available for each tasting. The selection of wines were explained to us and were given an opportunity to find our covered picnic table while we discussed what we would do.

The list included three different tastings:

• The Dry Wine Tasting
• The Sweet Wine Tasting
• Fruit Wine Tasting
• The Premium Wine Tasting
• Cider/Perry Tasting

There was no difference in price between the Dry Wine and the Sweet Wine Tastings ($20 at the time of this posting), but the Premium Wine Tasting was $25 (at the time of this posting).

We chose both the Sweet Wine Tasting and the Premium Wine Tasting, because I love sweet wines and Pinot Noir.

The Wines included in the tasting during our visit included:

What did we think of the wines at Glorie Farm Winery

---

We enjoyed all the wines that we tasted, but like everything else, we had our favorites. From the wines that we tasted above, these were our favorites:

• Berries & Grapes
• Blackjack!
• Cabernet Franc 2017

---

Service during the Wine Tasting

---

Like I stated previously, my hubby and I chose a table off to the side. Because of this, we were able to view the majority of the people that were there for tastings.

The service was impeccable. Our server was not only attentive, but was so friendly and personable. He did a wonderful job of keeping our glasses ‘full’ and also knew so much about each wine he poured for us.

It was truly a wonderful experience that we have not had at any other winery.

Food Options during Visit

Although outside food is allowed at Glorie Farm Winery, their new exclusive farm to table picnic menu from Chef Caite Whitbeck of Goddess and Fool is something everyone should try.
