Bashakill Vineyards is everything you want in a winery—amazing wine, incredible food, a beautiful setting, and a team that makes you feel right at home. Throw in live music, and you’ve got the perfect spot to spend an afternoon.
I was genuinely blown away by the wines here. Each one is packed with bold, distinctive flavors that show a real love for the land and a deep understanding of winemaking. Owner Paul Deninno has created something truly special in Wurtsboro.
And the food? Easily the best I’ve ever had at a vineyard. A lot of wineries stick to basic cheese boards—sometimes not even good ones—but Bashakill takes it to a whole new level. Co-owner and chef Samara Ferris has put together an incredible menu that’s both creative and refined. From fresh burrata with cacao nibs to Indian pani puri bursting with vibrant masalas. The latter of which I ordered twice!
If you’re anywhere near Wurtsboro, you need to check this place out. And if you weren’t planning to visit? Now you have a reason. Also, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of Paul’s family’s organic cold-pressed olive oil from Puglia. I’ve been savoring every drop and already wish I’d bought more.
Huge thanks to Paul and Samara for an unforgettable visit—I’ll definitely be back soon!

Oh my god. The food, the wine, the people… if you can get up here you’re in for a treat. That’s all I’ll say — get the pani puri.

Great place, friendly staff, good music, pleasant time.

This was one of our favourite places to go pre and post covid. The food the atmosphere and music were the perfect way to spend a Saturday with the stroller and dog in tow. Now we aren't allowed to bring kids anymore. Definitely a huge disappointment for us. I get that some kids are a pain but with the games and music it was easy to keep them quiet and entertained. Will not be coming back

This vineyard was our favorite stop on our trip to Monticello last weekend! ? We stopped by on a Friday afternoon with our dog, Sky and were greeted by a great atmosphere, the friendliest staff, and great drinks.
I found Bashakill on social media before coming up and was so excited to visit, but pictures are almost not enough to show how beautiful it is! The pond, pavilion, and many available seating areas are beautiful and allowed our pup plenty of outdoor space to sit and sniff. The crowd and staff were lovely with our dog Sky and pointed her towards the doggy water fountain if she needed.
We also loved our drinks! We tried their strawberry peach sangria, their Sunday white sangria, and a few different bottles as a table. Such a great experience, and we will be sure to visit again soon enough!

We recently spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Bashakill Vineyards, and it was the perfect getaway. Nestled in the heart of nature, the vineyard's scenic beauty is the first thing that captures you. The backdrop of lush greenery and the peaceful surroundings made it an ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon. What made the day even more special was how dog-friendly the vineyard is. Our yellow Labrador, Max, had a great time lounging in the outdoor seating area, where dogs are welcomed with open arms. It’s always a treat to find a place that accommodates our furry family members, and Bashakill Vineyards did it with style. Max had plenty of space to stretch out, and we never felt like we had to worry about him being in the way.

What a beautiful and charming winery . The people who work there are so kind and welcoming . We enjoyed wonderful food, wine, beer and music. The winery is so picturesque and quaint. Totally felt like sitting in your nonno’s backyard ( upscale ). We had great music to enjoy . Dog friendly which was a plus for us. My brother has been going since it started but it was our first visit but def not our last . Take the trip! Cheers!

Great place with lovely mocktails and good food. The vegan options are greatly appreciated, and it's dog friendly!

We stopped in for dinner and a glass of wine. Even though it was raining and pretty busy we were still able to get an inside table. The food and wine were great! The winery is in a beautiful wooded location. I like that its adults only, we will be back.
Great atmosphere and very dog friendly! I'm so glad they have an adults only section!

Although I haven't been able to actually visit the vineyard because of an injury sustained while visiting the area, my cousin brought me a bottle of the red fox merlot. It's the best merlot I've ever had! Furthermore, after working with Paul via email, I was able to purchase and have shipped to me 6 bottles of the Merlot. Communication with Paul was easy, friendly, and swift. The order was placed and within 2 days was at my doorstep 112 miles away. These guys are simply the best, and I can't wait to actually get to visit the vineyard!
