A PERFECT PLACE FOR MEMORIES

At The Beardslee Homestead, on the National Register of Historic Places, you and your family will experience life from another time and another place.  Our Homestead is designed with families in mind and the experiences you may like to enjoy together such as cooking and dessert classes, collecting honey, picking apples, picking grapes, making wine and herbal liqueurs like black walnut Nocino and hops bergamot liqueur, collecting morning eggs from the coop, making pasta and brick-oven pizza, hiking and fishing, canoeing and kayaking, playing bocce, hosting weddings and other parties, and so much more.  The Beardslee Homestead is an upstate New York hidden jewel agriresort.

Our new Masseria Distillery and Masseria Winery, both located in the historic Hop House, allow you to sit and relax and enjoy tastings of our farm-to-bottle herb-infused spirits and locally New York sourced wines and ciders.  As our vineyard matures, expected in 2024-27, Masseria will begin our estate wine production. 

Each of our Homestead areas and settings is designed with experience and family in mind, continuing a rich tradition enjoyed over centuries and generations and designed to highlight this very special area of New York.
