Stoutridge Vineyard is a distinguished estate winery in Marlboro, New York, roughly 70 miles north of Manhattan, nestled in the picturesque Hudson Valley. The winery’s vineyards are located half a mile from the iconic Hudson River, on the southeast-facing slopes of a ridge with a rich agricultural history, where grapevines and fruit trees have been cultivated continuously for over two centuries, contributing to the region’s long-standing viticultural tradition.
Founded on the historic grounds of early vineyard operations dating to the late 1700s, Stoutridge Vineyards carries a deep sense of heritage. The property also includes a winery established in 1902, which ceased operations during Prohibition, as well as a clandestine distillery that operated during the bootlegging era until 1956. Replanting efforts for the vineyards resumed in 2001, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its storied history.
The winery at Stoutridge Vineyard is designed with a gravity-flow system, intricately built into the hillside. This location is historically significant because it stands on the former site of the Morano Winery, which operated from 1902 to 1919 before Prohibition. The foundation wall of this pre-Prohibition winery remains and has been meticulously restored, now serving as an impressive front wall for the tasting room patio, blending history with modern elegance.
To pay homage to the site’s past, the production room of the new winery was intentionally designed to match the interior dimensions of the original winery, creating a seamless connection between its historic roots and contemporary winemaking.
