My husband Cliff, and I, along with our goldendoodle puppy Amelia, had the pleasure of spending the afternoon at Poughquag’s newest attraction, The Waterwheel Vineyard, located on Route 7 (Beekman Poughquag Road). After attending Opening Day a few weeks ago, we looked forward to coming back and enjoying a wine tasting and truly taking in the breathtaking views all around. With five various and distinct wines to taste, three of which are grown right at the vineyeard, we each picked our favorite to enjoy full glasses of, in addition to a cheeseplate (for me!) and wood burning oven pizza (for my hubby!). We enjoyed the coziness of the open barn bar/tavern where we sat beneath a spectacular chandelier and chatted with incredibly personable staff and a more than welcoming owner. We actually felt the owner’s immense appreciation for our visit, when in fact, we were the ones grateful for this new venue to enjoy located right in our community. Food and wine were delightful, views centered and relax us, live music enveloped us, and meaningful conversations fulfilled our afternoon. I most certainly suggest a visit if you haven’t already! We look forward to our next!!

🌟 Everyone, meet Maggie, our bar superhero! 🍷

Maggie brings warmth, skill, and great energy to the bar every Saturday and Sunday. Her passion for nurturing others began while living abroad in Germany, where she met her husband and had her two children. During her years traveling across Europe, she gained incredible culinary skills. Pair that with her 20+ years in the service industry, she was inspired her to start her own company, where she she provides groceries from local farms to your table and has her own bone broth, seasoning salts, tallow products and so much more.

Maggie is also deeply passionate about health and wellness, always learning, creating nourishing meals, and sharing her knowledge with those around her.

When she’s not behind the bar, you’ll find her cooking, gardening, reading, or spending time with her dogs and family.

Come say hi to Maggie every weekend! She’ll probably have the perfect wine recommendation and a great story (or wellness tip) to share. ✨
