CURATED EXPERIENCES

Hudson Chatham Winery is Columbia County's first winery starting in 2006. Historically the property began as a dairy farm founded in 1790's. The winery focuses on hybrid varieties ideal for growing in upstate New York. Grown on the 15 acre property is Seyval Blanc, Baco Noir, Chelois, Chambourcin, Dechanauc, Burdin and Le Colonel.

In 2020 the winery was purchased by Steven Rosario and Justen Nickell who are both graduates of The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Steven also graduated from Culinary Institute of America Greystone in Napa Valley, where he graduated with a Master’s in Wine Management. While study he worked at multiple wineries in Napa Valley. Justen Nickell graduated with a Baking and Pastry Degree from Hyde Park while making wines, meads and other fermented beverages in his college apartment. They are happy to be settling back in the Hudson Valley Region to focus on making sustainably farmed wines from hybrid grapes.

Over the past year the winery has begun to adapt into a farm winery, introducing an apiary and 40 French Maran chickens. The vineyard has also been expanded from 4 acres to 8 acres with approximately 18 different varietals grown.
