Wing's Castle
Wing's Castle is an American marvel. Located 75 miles north of New York City, the castle was the brain child of artists Peter and Toni Ann Wing and 40 years later is still under construction!
Along with a love affair of castles came a love of anything old. Be mesmerized by the museum of antique memorabilia and collectibles, everything from military to primitive trinkets.

The house has been featured on extreme homes, HGTV, prime time television, and has been the backdrop of many music albums, movies, and fashion shoots. Wings architecture has been compared to that of Antonio Gaudi', and his life's work to that of Michelangelo, a true renaissance man.


Millbrook Vineyards & Winery
Millbrook Vineyards & Winery is called "the Hudson Valley's flagship winery" by The New York Times and "a great place to visit" by The Wall Street Journal.

Their world-class wines have won acclaim from critics and consumers alike, and they compare favorably with top wines from California and France. Millbrook is considered one of the top wineries not only of the Hudson River Valley but all of New York State and indeed the eastern seaboard.

The tasting consists of 3 white and 3 red wines as well as their own Olive Oil.



NY State Capitol
New York State's Capitol is a stunning and beautiful example of 19th century architecture. Truly a masterpiece, great care was devoted to the planning of this building and today it remains widely recognized among State Capitols.

Uncle Sam Boat Tours
Join Uncle Sam Boat Tours for a unique day in the Thousand Islands. The trip covers an eleven mile section of the St. Lawrence River not offered in any of their other tours. Experienced tour guides will provide a lively narrative on both the down river trip to the castle and return trip to Alexandria Bay.

Singer Castle
Singer Castle is the only castle on the river to be completed, fully furnished and resided in during the heyday of the 'great builders' and industrials in New York. The Castle remained in the possession of the original Bourne family from its construction in 1905 until the mid 1960's.

Enjoy a 45-minute guided tour of Singer Castle on Dark Island, including four floors of the Castle featuring the Great Hall, Library, Dining Room, Breakfast Room, Terrace, Drawing Room, Loggia, Wicker Room, Bedrooms, Guest Rooms and 4th floor Dormitory.

Tours include walking up hill to the castle and multiple steps inside the castle. No one is allowed in the Castle unless escorted by a Singer Castle Docent. Due to the many steps of the castle, no strollers/wheelchairs are allowed inside the castle and small children must be carried.


Boldt Castle
Enjoy a self guided tour of the magnificent castle and grounds of famous Boldt Castle on Heart Island. Begun in 1900 by Waldorf Astoria's George Boldt as a summer home for his wife Louise, this turreted stone marvel was nearly completed but never lived in.

Stay for an hour or all day.

At Boldt Castle, there is the option to disembark the boat and tour the castle. For those staying on and not wishing to tour the castle, they will proceed back to Alexandria Bay. For those touring the castle, there is a continuous shuttle every 1/2 hour on any Uncle Sam Boat that will take you back to the dock in Alexandria Bay.
