Lovely outdoor space, with unforgettable wines and bites alike. One of my favorite vineyards on the island, I sincerely appreciate the small details such as the rustic outdoor area, glass varieties and dog-friendly atmosphere. The tasting cottage is surrounded by rose and fig trees and is an ideal place to spend a crisp fall day with family or friends.

An outdoor oasis nestled in Peconic, perfect for an afternoon tasting. Complete with Adirondack chairs, outdoor tables, and a quaint, casual tasting room, this winery is a must-visit.
Personal In-house Favorites : Cabernet Sauvignon, Blanc De Noir, Malbec

Modern, rustic & chic, this is my go-to “Saturday Spot”. I adore their selection of reds, and indoor & outdoor spaces – complete with couches, fire-pits (outside) and draperies. Their snack selection is outstanding, with cheese boards and delectable cured meats. On occasion, you’ll even find smoked trout. (Yum.) Check their site for the live music schedule, for a bit of additional local charm.
Personal In-house Favorites : Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Sparkling Rose

Quaint and charming, to say the least. Small production finds and a pleasant, antiquated atmosphere make this a must-visit. Adjacent to the tasting room is “Provisions & Ingredients” their sister shop with a diversified menu – including tapas, cheese plates, and pressed sandwiches.
Personal In-house Favorites : Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Tredici

A breath of fresh air amongst the Long Island vineyards, Channing Daughters feels like a home away from home – complete with lush, inspired grounds, a modest tasting room, and a superb collection of incredible wines. Their labels are also a sight to see, as they are unique and extraordinarily imaginative.
Personal In-house Favorites : Blaufrankisch, Due Uve and Petit Verdot

A favorite amongst my “foodie” friends, Bedell is consistently high quality and provides an impressive, cozy atmosphere with quality products, time and time again. Family-owned, excellent service, and first-rate cheeses. (Especially the goat cheese, yum!)
