Owners were very informative, friendly, and enthusiastic with explaining the natural process of making wine and spirits. We got a personal tour and were educated on their buisness. They are very passionate about what they do. Exceptional business.

Great visit. A "Craft Winery" is fitting here. Next time I'll bring some cheese sit on the porch and enjoy a beautiful view. Steve gave us a detailed capsule of his wine making "natural process" and it's place in history. Kim and Bear(cat) kept us entertained in between. The wine and spirit sampling was an education along with an interesting tour. Learned so much. The wine was unique and understanding why was well worth the time. Learning the history of "absinthe" was fun and.....none of us went blind after enjoying it. LOL. Thank you for an enjoyable time!!

During an aimless upstate NY drive today my friend and I stumbled upon this winery and on a whim went for a quick wine tasting. That was our intention at least, what we experienced today was nothing short of spectacular. Very unique wines that opened my eyes and my palate to what really old school winemaking can look like. Steve is very well educated and extremely passionate about wine/spirits and makes no apologies for it. He is a joy to listen to and I wish we could’ve stayed twice as long to taste more things and enjoy his company. I’m going to be returning with a larger group in the near future and can’t wait to share this experience. Steve and Kim you rock!

Nice place. Limited selection of wines but good ones. They were distinctively fruity.

My husband and I visited for the first time and had an amazing experience! Steve is so passionate about his work and they took the time to educate us about their products and answer all our questions. We’ll be visiting again and recommend for a fun afternoon!

My husband and I came in for a spirit tasting on a Friday night and what a treat! It was fairly empty so we were able to get some very knowledgeable explanations of the spirits we were trying. I’ve done plenty of wine tasting but this was the first place I could try a variety of spirits and everything I tried was interesting and layered with fantastic flavor. They were nothing like I tasted before, and we brought three bottles home with us. I would absolutely recommend a stop here!
Honest Reviews
PROS- beautiful scenery- very clean and well kept- an abundance of parking- very affordable and well priced- high interest in explaining their historyCONS- very small portions for wine tasting- the owner is a little arrogant and thinks very highly of his wine despite your personal taste and he make its very clear about that. He apologized for coming off rude but still, it was rude- stated 5 times they will stop serving at 5:00pm and YOU WILL leave at 6 when the staff leaves-defenitely by far the weirdest tasting wines we've had. Almost like oils for an oil diffuserOVERALL- the property is stunningly beautiful but we will happily not attend this winery again due to the rude service

Great place with a wide variety of wines and spirits. Today we tasted handcrafted wines and bourbon that were delicious. Enjoy a tasting in a beautiful environment to get relaxed.

This is a special place. We have been to many distilleries and this one stands out for many reasons. The differing types of spirits are impressive, from the typical ones you expect from a distillery, to the very unique takes and the completely new inventive offerings. But its the quality of each that makes Stoutridge stand out. You cannot taste everything on offer in one viist, probably not even 2. We went when they were just opening for the day and got to spend time with the owner. It was nice to hear his inspiration for what he is obviously passionate about.We will be back when in the area again for sure.
My family decided to drive an hour and a half to visit stoutridge. We tossed a coin with a dozen other wineries to visit on a rare weekend day together. We should have known something was wrong as soon as we were in the parking lot. Not a single car. We soon realized why nobody was there on a very nice weekend day in June. It was one of the worst experiences at a winery that I have ever had. Unless you are local, don't waste a trip. Visit one of the thousand other wineries in our great state. Thank you, Stoutridge, for a wasted beautiful day.

We had a great time at the winery and distillery. Gorgeous views and the owners are so nice, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back!

Winery was gorgeous and the staff was very pleasant. The wine flight came in little test tubes that you then pour into your tasting cup. Fun experience. There were Bachelorette parties here as well when I visited and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Arrived Sunday afternoon with 15 couples to kick-off our brewery & winery tasting tour. Several people went inside check out the place, the gentleman behind the desk rudely turned us away stating we needed a reservation; insisting their website is clear about having a reservation ( I checked, site says nothing about reservations only). He then told us "we are not the clientele they are looking for"... because their product is expensive. Who says that?!?!?.Collectively we would have dropped close to $1,000. I guess money grows on the vine alongside the grapes at Stoutbridge. WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS.Ownership needs to explain themselves & their employees actions. The comment made by their employee is blatantly discriminatory. He had no idea who was the bus, we were immediately judged because we arrived on a "party bus". I must add, the place was empty upon arrive, not 1 customer !.
