See Which Hudson Valley Restaurants Earned 2025 Wine Spectator Awards

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — While metro areas like New York City and Paris, or high-profile wine-growing regions like Napa and the Loire Valley, usually get all the attention, our region is gaining recognition among oenophiles.

Wine Spectator just unveiled the 2025 Restaurant Awards winners, which honor the world's best restaurants for wines. This year's awards program recognized 3,811 dining destinations from all 50 states and in more than 80 countries worldwide.

"A wine list is a restaurant’s identity in print, and this year's Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winners reflect both deep knowledge and a passion for discovery," Marvin R. Shanken, the editor and publisher of Wine Spectator, said. "I proudly present the 3,811 restaurants worldwide that earned a Restaurant Award this year — we raise a glass to all our winners."

Since 1981, awards have been given across three categories: Award of Excellence, presented to about 2,010 restaurants this year; the Best of Award of Excellence, presented to about 1,704 restaurants this year; and the Grand Award, presented to 97 restaurants this year.

Wine Spectator said the Award of Excellence winners generally have a wine list of at least 100 vintages, while the Best of Award of Excellence winners generally have at least 350 selections. The Grand Award winners have 1,000 or more selections, presenting diners with a depth of vintages from some of the world’s most acclaimed winemakers.
