Stable Gate Winery — Restaurant in Town of Schodack

My wife, daughter and I went to Stable Gate Winery for the first time today. I was planning a birthday party for my wife and wanted an outside location with plenty of room for kids to play and move around. I worked with the owner, Val and she was amazing to work with. She is extremely personable, great at contacting back through phone or text. She let us choose where we sit, they had an outside area right outside the main building, they had tables lined up in the "activity area" where they had live music playing, corn hole, ladder golf and can jam for activities for anybody to do, and then they also had tables and seating down in the vineyard. All had varying levels of shade. We opted for the vineyard and it was beautiful.

They offered a brunch plate which changes weekly, flatbreads, charcuterie and other snacks. They have flight options of 3 of their wines or all 9 (3 meads, 3 whites, and 3 reds). We chose the flight of 9 and shared the brunch platter, which had a coffee cake muffin, a salad, and a breakfast pizza/flatbread. I later ordered their supreme flatbread and a blackberry basil and gin cocktail. The staff was tremendous. The music was great, they had another concert in their barn tonight at 5, but with a sick toddler, we chose not to attend). The weather was perfect. The food was exceptional. I cannot commend Val or the staff highly enough. I strongly recommend them for a casual winery tasting or even for an event. Super chill and laid back atmosphere in a beautiful location.

Side note, they look like they would be a great place for weddings if anybody reading this is looking for a venue. Their vineyard has lights hung up and their barn looks like it would look great light...

Stable Gate Winery is a beautiful place and an amazing venue. I hosted my sister's bridal shower there and I was nervous as I had never been there before because I live far away but they were so helpful and kind throughout the whole process!

The winery itself has a great outdoor space and there was live music when we checked it out.

It is obvious, the owner, Val, is very knowledgeable and passionate about not only the product (wine, food etc.) but also about the overall experience of the patrons. Friendly dogs on site are always a bonus, too!

The bridal shower itself was in the lodge which is a wonderful spot for an event. We had the option of open windows with great airflow, and air conditioning as the day grew warmer.

The BBQ menu we chose had fantastic food and all the staff (shout out to Wendy) were extremely welcoming, kind and helpful. They even specially made a vegan pasta salad for my friend when they found out her dietary preferences.

I highly recommend Stable Gate Winery and I hope to travel back to the area to visit again soon.

...AND one last addition, my parents (both with electric or hybrid cars) really loved the electric...

Beautiful venue, delicious food & incredible staff! Stable Gate went above and beyond for our wedding. The weather was changing things up to the last minute, ceremony was moved inside, half of the venue lost power due to a storm while I was getting ready and the owner went into action getting candles a generator, whatever we may need if the storm got worse.. I honestly don’t know if there was a generator or the power came back because it was so seamless. I am normally very anxious but I was totally calm because I knew the awesome staff had everything under control. On top of pulling off an amazing wedding during a crazy storm they managed to make such incredible food that several guests (meat eaters and vegans alike) told me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Stable Gate is. If I had a complaint it would only be that the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy the beautiful property but it honestly felt perfect just the way it was. I am very grateful we chose Stable Gate for our special day! I hope to be back for more events and...
