BORDEAUX ON HUDSON!

Here a few ideas to keep your demanding and sophisticated clients happy when visiting New York.

Combine a day excursion along the beautiful Hudson River and through the Hudson Valley with one or more visits to wineries and wine tastings.

The wineries are around 100km from Manhattan and are eager to let you taste their wines. Combine it with a visit to West Point, Bear Mountain, Franklin Roosevelt's Hyde Park, quaint Rhinebeck or even Sing-Sing and you have a full day program.

We know that the wine growing area in the Hudson Valley is small compared with the New York State Finger Lakes region or, the region on New York's Long Island, but it is the closest to the center of Manhattan.

In addition we had such a success with our Long Island Winery Tour that we felt we needed alternatives.

So, for the price of a bus charter, a guide and a couple of dollars for "wine tastings" you will have a great one- day excursion.
