Framed by the lush vines and greenery of Red Maple Vineyard, RMV Cellars is more than a tasting room—it’s a celebration of craft and community. Home to Great Life Brewing, RMV Cellars blends winery, brewery, and restaurant into a single experience, showcasing award-winning wines by Madi Marshall and award-winning beers by Cody Lynch, alongside a globally inspired, seasonally driven menu by head chef Sara Gonzalez.
With a commitment to farm-to-table fare, ingredients are sourced whenever possible from the 143-acre former dairy farm, including fresh eggs, maple sap (used in the crisp Sap Sucker beer), hot peppers for house-made sauces, berries for jam, and vine-ripened grapes for wine. Soon, homegrown hops will join the mix.
Here, food and drink come together in a sustainable, creative fusion. Spent grain from brewing is baked into rich brownies; house wines are turned into delicate wine jellies. The menu ranges from shareable bites like a Bavarian pretzel and gorgonzola-fig flatbread to hearty plates like grilled mahi mahi with mango slaw.
But RMV Cellars is more than just a place to sip. Guests are encouraged to linger—roam the grounds, mingle, or simply unwind. Live music fills the air every Friday and Saturday, with performances ranging from solo acts to full bands. The vibe is relaxed, family-friendly, and dog-friendly. Outdoors, visitors can explore a sculpture garden curated by local artists, play lawn games, or chill under the pavilion—also available for private events. In warmer months, the parrilla grill, smoker, and pizza oven fire up seasonal specialties. To be in the know about seasonal events, join the RMV Cellars mailing list via their website.
Set against the backdrop of Hudson Valley’s picturesque wine country, RMV Cellars offers a serene, scenic escape where award-winning drinks and farm-fresh food meet in perfect harmony.
