North of New York City, graced by the beauty and temperature-moderating effects of the majestic Hudson River, lies one of America's most historic wine regions. Even more important than the water's effect on the air, the steep palisades funnel maritime breezes through the region, which today hosts more than 20 wineries building on the tradition of the oldest vineyard and winery in America. A pioneering region for French-American grape varieties such as Seyval Blanc and Baco Noir, the Hudson River Region has also proved hospitable to the more delicate European grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc.
Within the larger Hudson River Region, a small group of wineries on the west side of the river have organized a "Shawangunk Wine Trail," named after a nearby mountain range. The Shawangunk Wine Trail publishes a special brochure and hosts special events during the year. On the East side of the river, the Dutchess Wine Trail welcomes visitors as well.
