Know before you go
- Reservations and fees
- Some wineries recommend or require reservations, and some limit group size. Buses and limos should reserve: not every tasting room takes them, and some may add a coach fee.
- Getting there
- Long Island Rail Road plus a rideshare reaches some North Fork wineries. MacArthur Airport is in the middle of Long Island, with JFK and LaGuardia in Queens for more service.
- Best time to visit
- Fall is a popular time to visit, with harvest running late August to mid-October. Winter is quieter, and spring and summer suit outdoor tastings.
- Getting around
- Many North Fork wineries sit close together, so several stops fit in one day, and ferries link the North and South Forks. Plan a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour.
Wineries list live music, hands-on harvest days, blending sessions and seasonal parties.
