About Bremer’s Wine and Liquor Store
Family Owned and Operated Local Liquor Store
Family owned and operated for four generations, we are honored to be your premier wine and liquor retailer in the Mohawk Valley. Originally established in 1876 by C.H. Bremer, and the first liquor store in Oneida County to receive its liquor license after Prohibition, we are proud to carry on the history and tradition that has made us who we are today.
The Best Wine & Liquor in Oneida Country & Beyond
While Oneida County can be traced back to before 1800, the area it comprises today was finalized in 1816. New Hartford village was founded by the Sanger family back in 1789 through a land purchase from George Washington. However, it was not incorporated until 1869 as part of the town of New Hartford which is the largest suburb of Utica. This means the Bremer family has been serving liquor to residents of New Hartford since its founding - almost 30 years before the Fire Department was founded! The surrounding land continued to go through changes with the forming of Clark Mills, New York Mills, and Washington Mills. Bremer’s continues to serve all residents of Oneida County, even offering local delivery services.

Giving Back to Oneida County
We take great pride in giving back to our community, the community that allowed us to prosper over the many years we’ve been here. For the last six years we have hosted our own golf tournament, Bremer’s Charity Open. To date, we have been able to raise over $50,000 to benefit The Boys & Girls Club of the Mohawk Valley. The event typically takes place at local Skenandoa Golf Club in Clinton, NY.
