Tony Trigo

IN 2009, TONY TRIGO EMBARKED on a remarkable journey by founding Clermont Vineyards and Winery on a picturesque former dairy farm in Clermont, NY. With a background in engineering and heavy construction, Tony has leveraged his expertise to develop innovative methods for tending to and harvesting his grapes, ensuring the highest quality production.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking views of the Catskills mountains, the winery offers an inviting atmosphere for visitors to savor a variety of award-winning wines crafted in the traditional Portuguese fashion.

Savor This

Take advantage of the beautiful 15-acre site by enjoying a homemade picnic or grabbing a bite from a neighboring business, like “Cue 2 Go” directly across from the winery on County Route 6. Enjoy the views with a glass of Clermont wine, and watch the beautiful sunsets from the winery’s expansive deck.

Guests often bring their own picnic or enjoy delicious food from the winery’s neighbor, Cue 2 Go, just across County Route 6. In the fall, Tony hosts patrons for what the Portuguese call “Vindima,” a hands-on grape picking adventure that offers visitors the opportunity to become part of the wine-making process.

Tony’s vision transformed the serene landscape into a vibrant destination where guests can enjoy the unique blend of heritage and innovation that defines Clermont Vineyards and Winery.
