Adirondack Winery

What Adirondack Winery does

Adirondack Winery is a family-owned craft winery founded in 2008 by Michael and Sasha Pardy, headquartered in Queensbury, New York. The company produces approximately 20,000 cases of wine annually across 35+ varieties — including dry reds and whites, sparkling and dessert wines, and a signature portfolio of fruit-infused wines (e.g., Serenity lavender rosé, Escape piña colada white) — from grapes sourced from farms across New York State. Winemaking and bottling take place at a $2.6 million, 14,000-square-foot facility in Queensbury equipped with more than 20 stainless steel fermentation/holding tanks with capacities up to 4,000 gallons each.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated through two company-owned tasting rooms (a flagship in Lake George Village rated the #1 attraction there, plus the Queensbury Restobar), a wine club (MyADK Club with Summit, Ridgeline, and Basecamp tiers requiring a 4-installment quarterly commitment), an Adirondack Rewards loyalty program, and an e-commerce site shipping to 36 U.S. states. Wholesale distribution runs through Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) in Upstate New York, placing product in 400+ liquor stores statewide; a partnership with American Oak Distillery provides a third tasting presence in Bolton Landing. Ancillary revenue streams include private events at The Mezzanine (2,226 sq ft, capacity up to 200) and the Barrel Room, plus the annually founded Adirondack Wine & Food Festival in Lake George.

In 2023 the company spun off Extreme Heights Cidery, a wholly-owned hard cider brand crafted from New York apples and launched a canned lineup in 2025. The organization is privately held with 11–50 employees, family-led, and has not taken institutional funding. Recent strategic emphasis has been on brand-led destination experiences, product-line extensions into wine cocktails and cider, and converting the Lake George tourism base into recurring wine-club and event revenue.
