Simple tasting room, little view of the winery, but it is possible to see the vineyards.I missed the bottles to know the labels.The attendant explains well about the wines and production.

Delicious wines, gracious hosts, best reds I’ve ever had!

Absolutely LOVELY spot. A beautiful and cozy vineyard with a wonderful manager that will come over and explain all the wines and notes to you and your guests and give you a real tasting experience. We went on a rainy day, so the big cozy barn with art was PERFECT. so if you’re going on a cold day/not perfect weather… it’s the perfect spot. All the wines we tasted were DELICIOUS and we bought a few bottles. Thank you Evie for a great experience!! The dog that roams around is sweet, kind, doesn’t bark and lets you pet him but doesn’t follow you around. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks since they don’t serve. It was a perfect experience.

This was a very sweet small vineyard. We had to stop at the big "Pinot Noir" sign after biking past during other vineyard tours.It’s a smaller place but the open outdoor setting was nice. It’s not exactly 100% shaded; they use those shade sails that let the light filter through a little bit. This was lovely and much better suited to the setting that if they had several big umbrellas that would block the view of the vineyards.They were very attentive to us and asked if we wanted pretzels and water. The wine was very good, and, although it was sweet of our host to bring out pretzels and waters, she brought out individual bottles of water. And I just prefer to reduce my plastic consumption, so it would’ve been nice if we had glasses with a pitcher of water instead. Although I know that would be extra dishes for her to wash. I know this is a small complaint, but perhaps something to consider for the future.Oh, and the person delivering our wine to the table was good enough to take our group photo and had a great sense of humor. Some people are grumpy about taking photos or rushed, but they were lovely about it and made us all smile and laugh. We only bike the North Fork with these close friends every other year, so the photos are special. The staff/experience/setting holds equal importance to us on these special trips as the wine itself.

After several area tasting room visits, THIS was the one we loved most. The wine quality reminded us of Napa/Sonoma wines. The staff was kind and knowledgeable. They included little details like pretzels and water, which are important to cleanse the palette when enjoying a flight.In the area, several vineyards offer great outdoor seating, breathtaking views, and impressively built facilities. Exactly one made us say “wow”, and this was it. Cheers, and enjoy!

They don't produce ice wine here but they recommended a dessert wine. It was good but not I was looking for. Also, yoga and wine sounded like a fun, last minute combo from their signage but that was at 1030 AM and I was at this place at about 230 PM. Staff was friendly and liked my lego tshirt because of its art, attitude, and her kids had legos she would kind of trip over too. This shirt is mentioned in one of my Porto reviews last year too.

Wines were OK. We were the only ones there on a rainy day around 11am. They have a large indoor tasting area but without any natural life. They don't offer food and encourage you to bring your own. We brought a good spread and really enjoyed the food aspect of the experience. You should bring your own bluetooth speaker to provide some music during your visit. They have a free roaming dog that was well behaved, but he was still obviously interested in getting some snacks from the patrons. The lone attendant had a little bit of the history, but didn't speak too much about the wines.

Did the tour & wine tasting, highly recommend. The story behind this vineyard makes you appreciate the place even more. Really nice wines and friendly staff. Will be back again!
Go here. I can't recommend this strongly or loudly enough, but everyone should go here. This is a beautiful location, inside and out. The terracotta floors, the tasting room and event room hand made and designed by the owner and staff. The art from local, award winning artists and up and comers alike hanging from the walls. The outside pavilion with a gorgeous view of the vines themselves.We intended to spend the morning here and instead stayed from open to close. The staff and owner were so warm and welcoming, we just didn't want to leave!The owner, Giovanni, has lived such an interesting and exciting life, and if you get the chance to go on the tour and listen to the story, I highly recommend it. You can really tell the people who work here are passionate about their jobs and want nothing more than to continue cultivating the wonderful community of wine lovers they've developed.Even if the wine wasn't great, this place would still be worth a visit. Luckily, the wine is amazing. The Cab Franc is to die for, their Allegro dessert wine is stunning, and I could drink their rose blend all day long.So, I reiterate: go here. You won't regret it.

Wish I could give this place more stars. This is my favorite vineyard in Long Island. It's so cute and understated and the service is what makes it more so than anything else. Everyone here is so unbelievably nice. And that's something people would say is maybe hard to find in the state of New York. Maybe. But seriously. This place is worth it. We went to three vineyards all around the north fork and this place had the best wines and service. Wish we could have even stayed longer but I'm not sure when they close (I think it's maybe on the earlier side). Other pros were a local bakery pop up WITH vegan items - rare. And a great dog that greeted us as we walked in. 10/10 if you want just a great day drinking wine day with pals or family.
