Clinton Vineyards was established in 1976 by Ben Feder, a Bronx-born book designer and artist who fell in love with New York State’s Mid-Hudson Valley and began building his dream. Inspired by the beautiful wineries and vineyards in France, he modeled the 100-acre Clinton Vineyards in the tradition of small European vineyard estates, who often specialize in growing a single grape. His choice was Seyval Blanc, a versatile grape that withstands the challenging weather in the Hudson Valley.
