Cooperstown Beverage Trail

The Cooperstown Beverage Trail connects the region’s craft beverage makers, from breweries and wineries to a distillery and a historic cider mill. Cooperstown has a centuries-old history of fine drink that goes back well before baseball, and the area was once the hops-growing capital of North America.

The trail describes itself as New York State’s first official cuisine trail. It began with four stops, Bear Pond Winery, Cooperstown Brewing Company, Brewery Ommegang and the Fly Creek Cider Mill, and has since grown to seven with Rustic Ridge Winery, Cooperstown Distillery and Pail Shop Vineyards. Stops offer tastings, tours and specialty shops along a trail about 37 miles long.
