If you agree let’s take you on a visit to Brotherhood Winery, one of the most beautiful vineyard wedding venues in Hudson Valley and we are sure you will seal the deal with this incredible New York wedding location for your dreamy wedding, way before the page ends. Whether you’re a wine aficionado or you simply wish to say ‘I do’ in a scenic location, getting married in a vineyard may be the wedding set-up that you have been dreaming of. It's not hard to see why many couples give their hearts to the dreamy aesthetic of vineyard wedding venues. Rolling fields, saturated colors, and natural light in abundance are just a few of the perks of hosting your wedding at a vineyard. 

Peacefully set up by French émigré Jean Jaques in Westchester County, an area in the Hudson Valley north of New York City in 1839, this beautiful vineyard is considered the country’s oldest operating winery which has only improved with age and recent renovations with modern amenities while keeping the original character and turned to a vintage wedding venue to house your special events. In 2000, America's Oldest Winery made it to the National Register of Historic Places. The most recent change of ownership occurred in 1987 when Cesar Baeza bought the winery. Baeza settled vineyards on Long Island during the 1990s. The cabernet sauvignon and merlot planted there and produced into wine are standouts on their sales list.
