The 98-acre Milea Estate Vineyard is a very successful winery in the historic Hudson River Region, dedicated to capturing the unique, natural environmental benefits of soil, climate, and sunlight to produce outstanding, award-winning wines. Located in one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the entire country, Milea Estate Vineyard is in the heart of the fertile Hudson Valley, 80 miles north of New York City, nestled among beautiful rolling hills and surrounded by beautiful streams, horse pastures, dairies, and orchards. It is at the very center of the nation’s most exciting, diverse and up-and-coming farm-to-table movement.
The Milea Estate Vineyard’s winemaking approach is firmly grounded in Old World traditions, using estate-grown or locally-sourced varietals that thrive in the area’s unique soil and climate conditions. The topography of the Hudson Valley is perfectly suited for fruit production, with the first vineyards in the region dating back to 1677. What does all of this mean for Milea Estate Vineyard? From its first crush in 2015 that resulted in award-winning wines, the vineyard has maintained its high wine-making standards, continuing to produce extraordinary varietals that are continuously growing in popularity with wine connoisseurs. They are committed to crafting the finest Bordeaux influenced wines in New York State.
The exclusive 2022 Sang’s Vineyard Cabernet Franc opens with aromas of black pepper, tobacco leaf, and dark fruits with silky, tannin tension building acidity and a lengthy finish. With only 125 cases produced, this rare Hudson Valley treasure is exclusively available to Milea Wine Club members and at specific events throughout the year. Highly sought after by collectors!
Milea Estate Vineyard consistently produces fresh, clean, crisp and balanced wines that pair elegantly with all types of food and appeal to everyone’s taste. In 2019, Milea Estate Vineyard opened its elegant tasting room with spectacular views of the vineyard and surrounding countryside. The tasting room is open to visitors Wednesday through Sunday. There is also a magnificent event space, which can be used by wine lovers to host tasting parties.

In 1984, Barry Milea purchased part of the Rymph Family Farm, a property that he fell in love with and dreamed of returning to its farming origins. In the summer of 2015, Barry and his wife Sang Milea formed Milea Estate Vineyard with a focus on producing quality wines from fruit grown in the Hudson River Region.
Barry added adjoining land to the property in 2016, culminating in a 98-acre estate with some of the best soil and most beautiful landscapes in the country, perfect for growing Cabernet Franc and Central European cultivars such as Blaufränkisch and Grüner Veltliner.
