Historic Pine Plains Distillery Farm With Great Lawn and Bunkers

Dutch’s Spirits is a historic 400-acre farm and distillery in Pine Plains built around the remains of a Prohibition-era bootlegging operation associated with the Dutch Schultz story. The property combines panoramic Hudson Valley views with a broad level lawn, rustic tasting room, working distillery scenery, and unusual underground bunker spaces. Weddings, private parties, reunions, corporate gatherings, brand events, and productions can use the history and landscape as part of the experience rather than treating the venue as a neutral backdrop.

Full-site events can accommodate up to approximately 250 guests with access to several indoor and outdoor areas. The Great Lawn provides room for ceremonies, tented dining, entertainment, and guest circulation, while the tasting room offers a more intimate interior with views into the distillery. Craft cocktails and spirits are a central part of the property’s hospitality, and the distinctive bunkers can add a memorable speakeasy-style element to tours, portraits, or selected portions of an event. The surrounding hills and seasonal foliage provide wide scenic views throughout the day. Dutch’s Spirits is particularly useful for hosts who want a farm celebration with an authentic story, a built-in beverage program, and spaces that guests are unlikely to encounter elsewhere. Its mix of history, open land, rustic interiors, and hidden industrial remnants also gives photographers and production teams unusually varied material.
