Dutch's Spirits

Nestled on 400 acres of rolling Hudson Valley farmland in Pine Plains, New York, Dutch’s Spirits at Harvest Homestead Farm blends Prohibition‑era intrigue with modern craft distilling. The property’s centerpiece is a restored concrete bunker discovered in 2010 that once housed two 2,000‑gallon stills, 10,000 lb of sugar and a thousand gallons of moonshine allegedly financed by notorious bootlegger Dutch Schultz. Today the bunker’s stone walls frame a state‑of‑the‑art distillery, a rustic barn‑style tasting room, and an outdoor patio where visitors sip Dutch’s Bourbon, Gin, and Rye while enjoying farm‑fresh pizza, s’mores, and seasonal small plates. Guided tours trace the hidden tunnels, explain the chemistry of grain‑to‑spirit, and end with a complimentary tasting of the flagship “Bootlegger’s Reserve” bourbon. The venue also hosts weddings and private events, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills and a lush, level lawn with several unique indoor and outdoor areas to host your event. Opening hours and tour schedules are posted on the website, with the tasting room typically welcoming guests from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. Seasonal festivals, cocktail workshops, and an ever‑changing event calendar keep the farm lively year‑round. Whether you’re a spirit aficionado, a history buff, or simply seeking a scenic escape from the city, Dutch’s Spirits delivers a unique blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and hospitality in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
