The plans for Whitecliff have been long in the making. Michael has lived on the property since 1975, when he was studying organic chemistry in graduate school at SUNY, New Paltz. Upon graduation in 1978 he was hired by IBM to be trained as a semiconductor engineer. He decided to buy the property he was living on and soon became intrigued by the idea of starting a vineyard. "I wanted to do some farming, and this area was historically a grape-growing region supplying New York City," Michael explains.

Wine had figured prominently in his upbringing: his German and Italian grandfathers both made wine at home, and it was part of their everyday dinner table. Michael enjoyed his work at IBM but was eager to put to practical use his expensive graduate education. "You don't have to be a physical organic chemist to be a winemaker," he observes, "but it certainly helps."

Whitecliff Vineyard is rooted in the centuries-old agricultural traditions of the Hudson Valley. Visit us and see how fertile soils and beautiful surroundings contribute to the vineyard, and are reflected in the fine, flavorful wines that are a vivid expression of this region—the oldest winemaking region in America.
Finish your visit with a short drive to world-class hiking and scenery, farm-markets, orchards and historic sites.
