Wine, Craft Beverages & Agriculture

The country roads of the North Fork are lined with farm stands, quaint downtowns, charming B&Bs and waterfront properties. Known as Long Island’s Wine Country, there are over 60 vineyards, breweries and distilleries using locally grown ingredients.

Harvest season provides offerings from land and sea including favorites such as Oysters and Peconic Bay Scallops. Find locally sourced produce and seafood at farmers and fish markets as well as local restaurants. Experience fields of bloom at Lavender by the Bay with 80,000 lavender plants and picturesque sunflower fields at the North Fork Potato Chip farm. Head to Harbes Family Farm for pumpkin and apple picking paired with seasonal activities. Experience the maritime culture while exploring the rocky shores of the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay or heading out on a fishing charter.
