The Hudson Valley is quickly becoming known as one of the state’s best sources of locally produced beer, wine and spirits. Upstate Gay Beer & Wine Weekend – happening Saturday Oct 20th & Sunday Oct 21st – is your chance to hop on board our chartered bus and travel around the region for a series of exclusive tastings and experiences at some of the best local breweries, wineries and distilleries.

Setting up camp at Poughkeepsie’s Sprout Creek Farm – just 90 minutes north of NYC – this is your chance to rally your friends and unplug Upstate for a perfect fall weekend away.

  • Hop on board our exclusive chartered bus and be chauffeured to three of the area’s best spirits producers.

  • Experience true farm-to-table cuisine with meals prepared by Sprout Creek’s Chef Mark Fredette, featuring ingredients grown right at Sprout Creek Farm.

  • Pair locally made spirits with Sprout Creek’s Cheese at Saturday’s evening T-Dance.

  • Enjoy Saturday evening entertainment around the campfire from our musical guests: Mister John and the fabulous Timothy Quinn.

  • Unplug and immerse yourself (and likely get your hands a little dirty) in life on a working dairy farm during one of their peak fall harvest weekends.

  • Hop on the tractor for a haaay ride, complete with an Insta-worthy stop at the highest point on Sprout Creek’s property.

  • Meet and care for the farm’s goats, cows, pigs and poultry and gain a deeper understanding of what goes into each gallon of milk, wheel of cheese and carton of eggs they produce.

  • Restore your chakras on Sunday morning with an energizing round of Big 80’s Yoga with Rich Volo and then fill your belly with a spectacular farm-grown brunch, complete with a raucous game of Match Game hosted by Trixie Starr.
