Milea Estate Vineyard

What Milea Estate Vineyard does

Milea Estate Vineyard is a privately held boutique winery located at 450 Hollow Rd in Staatsburg, New York, operating in the Hudson Valley AVA. Founded in 2015 by Barry and Sang Milea on a historic farm property the family acquired in 1984, the company produces estate-grown wines under four collections — Farmhouse (approachable), Devotion (reserve), Hudson Heritage (regional tradition), and Hudson Valley Vineyards (Méthode Champenoise sparkling) — using sustainable viticulture and multi-regional sourcing that combines Hudson Valley estate fruit with Long Island North Fork grapes for Bordeaux-style blends. Winemaking is led by Darren Chertkoff (Master of Viticulture and Oenology from the University of Adelaide, Ph.D. in Geology), whose wines have earned recognition from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Vinous, and Wine Enthusiast.

The company operates a vertically integrated direct-to-consumer model. Distribution channels are limited to The Farmhouse Tasting House on the estate property, the on-site Staatsburg House luxury accommodation, the OrderPort-powered online wine shop, and a three-tier Wine Club (Jumper, Grand Prix, Triple Crown) with quarterly shipments to NY, DC, FL, MN, and AK. Revenue is generated through wine sales (one-time and subscription), paid tasting flights starting at $25/person, a farm-to-table culinary program led by CIA-trained Executive Chef David Kim, private experiences (Wine Blending Workshop, Korean Cooking Experience, Private Wine Dinners, vineyard tours), premium ticketed events (Sang's Dinner at $250–$300/person, Fizz Fest, Rosé Day, Harvest Gathering), and wedding and private-event hosting managed via PerfectVenue. Operations are run by COO Mina Do, previously sommelier at Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, with an overall team of 1–10 employees; there is no public listing, no disclosed funding, and no wholesale or distributor presence.
