There is a new brandy distillery and tasting room in Columbia County.

Klocke Estate opened on Route 27 in Claverack.

The company is growing several varieties of apples and grapes on 160 acres of property, specifically chosen and cultivated to make high-quality brandy.

The 12,000-square-foot distillery and hospitality venue includes a full bar, dining, library lounge, private tasting salon and outdoor spaces to enjoy.

The estate is launching its pilot program for distillery tours on Saturday, Aug. 3.
While on the tour, you’ll learn about Klocke’s history, agriculture, brandy, vermouth, drink making processes, and it all wraps up with a tasting.
