AVA Winetrails: [Home] [All WineTrails] [Cayuga Lake] [Horse Heaven Hills] [Hudson River Valley] [Mendocino Ridge] [Monticello] [Northern Neck-George's Birthplace] [Ohio River Valley] [Shenandoah Valley]

A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his Uncle Teddy Roosevelt learned to ride and drive and command. Drive the same wintetrail/roads that Franklin traversed on his way to his Presidential Library, which opened in 1941, in his Ford with special hand controls that enabled him to be independent and free enough to lead the United States to secure the blessings that flow from Liberty.

To create your own Hudson River Valley winetrail, use the "search" box in the lower righthand corner of the map. Insert the word "winery" or "wineries" and run your search. This will bring up your personal winetrail. Add designated driver and connect dots. We hope this will get you started down a happy winetrail. If you have any experiences you would like to relate please message us at Vincent [at] VanGoghWorks [dot] com [substituting appropriate symbols]. Thank you and Happy Wine Trails.
