Executive Summary
The Hudson Valley's Most Compelling Hospitality Opportunity
The Hudson Valley may be the most undercapitalized luxury hospitality opportunity within two hours of New York City. King Winery & Villas is a 36-acre luxury winery, lodging, and experiential hospitality destination currently under development in Millerton, New York.
Situated on an elevated, south-facing slope with panoramic Berkshire Mountain views, the project combines a boutique winery, luxury accommodations, culinary experiences, events, and agritourism into a single destination designed to serve the growing demand for premium weekend travel experiences from the New York metropolitan area.
Unlike traditional wineries that rely primarily on wine sales, King Winery is intentionally designed as a diversified hospitality platform with multiple recurring revenue streams and year-round guest engagement.
