The Red Hook Winery of Brooklyn

The Red Hook Winery of Brooklyn is a winery in Brooklyn, NY, situated on the Red Hook waterfront at Pier 41. Founded in 2008 by Mark Snyder, a Brooklyn native raised in Gerritsen Beach, the winery produces wine from grape to bottle at its location on Van Dyke Street, sourcing fruit from vineyards across New York state including the North Fork of Long Island and the Finger Lakes. The winery offers a tasting room where visitors can sample wines, and the lineup includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, White Blends, Skin-Fermented Rosé, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Red Blends, Other Reds, and Legacy Series wines in both red and white varieties. The operation also runs a wine club, an artist collaboration program, and books semi-private events in the tasting room.

The winemaking team is led by managing winemaker Christopher Nicolson, supported by consulting winemakers Robert Foley and Abe Schoener. The winery works directly with grape farmers to create individual expressions of New York vineyard sites, shaped by the climate and geology that distinguish the region. The tasting room overlooks the Verrazzano Bridge and the East River, and the business also operates The Red Hook Cidery as a separate sister location.

The winery sits on Van Dyke Street, about 0.1 miles from Van Brunt Street and Beard Street, and roughly 0.2 miles from the Waterfront Museum and South Brooklyn Community High School. Pier 44 Waterfront Garden lies about 0.1 miles away, and the Hook Studios Mural is within a short walk on the same pier. Hours run from noon to evening most days, with Tuesday and Wednesday closures during the winter and spring season.

The business holds a 4.50 rating, reflecting the experiences of customers who have visited the tasting room and tried the wines. As an urban winery producing New York-grown wine on a Brooklyn pier, The Red Hook Winery of Brooklyn offers a waterfront tasting experience tied directly to the state's vineyards.
