A cidery in Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, selling eggs, dairy and cheese, vegetables, fruit, maple syrup, honey, and plants and seedlings.
The first licensed distillery in Schoharie County since Prohibition. KyMar prides itself on bringing local agricultural products from the field to the glass — all principal ingredients are either grown on site or sourced from other New York farmers in the region. Each batch is fermented, distilled, aged, blended, and bottled in Charlotteville. Lineup includes a Cinister Moonshine (a beloved cinnamon spirit drinkers compare favorably to Fireball), small-batch whiskeys, and a range of estate-grown wines including a Cabernet Sauvignon. Welcoming family-run tasting room with educational tours.
Handcrafted wines from a farm winery just south of Middleburgh village, including fruit wines and a house red, with a vineyard-view patio and mountain views. Tastings when the tasting room is open.
A distillery in Jefferson, Schoharie County, selling honey, spirits, and crafts.
An independently-run farm and cidery that grows and ferments European, heirloom, and modern cider apples in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Specializes in minimal-intervention cider — juice that is bright, clean, complex, tannic, and acidic. Each batch is made once a year from individually-picked NY State apples, never from concentrate. All ciders are unfiltered and ferment slowly in stainless steel barrels. The on-farm tasting room is connected to the production facility, with sheep (the namesake ewes) grazing the orchard. Ships to 37 states. Open Saturdays 1-5pm and Sundays 2-5pm, May through December.
A cidery, apple orchard, and live music venue on the banks of the Schoharie Creek with picturesque mountain views — established 2021 on a 70-acre property that began as a dairy farm in the late 1800s, later a cattle farm raising Black Angus beef. Partner-owner Elisabeth (Morkaut) Van Houten was born and raised on Stryker Road in Gilboa. Producing 100% NY State hard ciders that are naturally sugar-free and gluten-free. Tasting bar under an expansive pavilion, food trucks most weekends, and a strong music programming schedule. The name pays homage to the Village of Old Gilboa — submerged in 1926 under the Schoharie Reservoir. Formerly the upstate location of Rockland Cider Works.
