OUR STORY
FAMILY OWNED AND RUN
Palaia Winery and Meadery "Pa-Lie-Ahh"...named for our winemaker's grandfather, Angelo Palaia who emigrated here from Italy and passed his winemaking skills on to his son and grandson!
We have taken the basics he gave us, and with modern winemaking techniques have been able to make some truly outstanding wines and meads. Here at Sweet Clover Farm, we believe in celebrating and preserving the history of our family, country, town and homestead.
We are proud to be the owners of a working farm that has been in the Hudson Valley for over 200 years. Once a dairy farm, it is now home to over 10 Acres of vineyards.
The 200- year old bank barn was restored in 2003 and is now a beautiful, clean winery on the lower level, with storage and a tasting room above preserving the look and feel of the historical building. We invite you to come and visit. Explore and Celebrate the history around us !
