So many opportunities for car-less visitors to visit Ulster County in the Hudson Valley now! We hope that they will grow the program to incorporate all types of tourism, farm and rural destinations within the county. Thank you Ulster County Government!

We’re feeling so joyful to share that we’re facilitating three powerful Uprooting Racism workshops this Spring!

We all have a significant and intrinsic role to play in uprooting racism in the food system, and the good news is that there are many right answers to the questions, “What can I do to help?” We’ve been deep diving into this question and sharing solidarity strategies far and wide.

Tuesday, March 12th - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm (EST)
Wednesday, March 13th - 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm (EST)

Barrel Tasting & Cellar Tour at Robibero Winery

March 25th and 26th
Times: 1:00pm

Learn about winemaking at Robibero Winery. Join our winemaker as you tour our brand-new production area and cellar while you taste samples from the 2022 vintage straight from the barrel and tanks.

$50 per person. Ticket includes barrel tasting, cellar tour and GRAZING BOARD. 🍇🧀🥖

Reservations required. Space is limited.

TICKETS:

bit.ly/robiberobarreltasting

The goal of Barrel Tasting is to introduce people to wines still in the barrel, help them learn about wine, and get a better understanding of what the wine tastes like as it goes through its barrel development. The best part is coming back to the winery when the wine is bottled and fully matured.
