Long Island Wineries
Red, white, rosé, and a dizzying array of delicious styles, Long Island Wine Country sparkles like its finest bubbly.
The first vineyard was planted in 1973, and just 50 years later, the region is a rising star on the world’s ancient winemaking stage. A unique grape-growing climate paired with innovative boutique vintners makes for one-of-a-kind, limited-edition wines.
Swirl and sip your way through 82 wineries, conveniently clustered together, from elegant tasting rooms to rustic barns. Tour the tanks, learn the history, listen to live music, and watch the sunset over a vista of vines, just steps from beach waves.
Connoisseurs describe the wines as a perfect balance of ripe fruit and acidity that complements – not overwhelms – food. That’s ideal for the local farm-fresh delicacies and seafood, from baguettes and goat cheese to honey and oysters. You can feel good about their environmental stewardship, too. Solar panels, windmills, and composting give back to the land that yields the glorious grapes.
The North Fork offers some of Long Island's most famous wineries with luxurious decor to give you a true Wine Country experience. Visit the rosé-themed private tasting suite of Macari Vineyards, Long Island's largest vineyard at Pindar Vineyards, a renovated turn-of-the-century barn at Paumanok Vineyards, crystal chandeliers at Sparkling Pointe, and the largest continuous plot of Pinot Blanc in the country at Lieb Cellars.
The South Fork is also home to local-favorite vineyards such as Wolffer Estate Vineyard, Duck Walk Vineyards, and Channing Daughters Winery.
