Wölffer Estate
With 55 acres of vines, Wölffer Estate has a plentiful assortment of wines. The vineyard is also one of the few winemakers who are certifiably sustainable. They use traditional techniques using estate-grown or locally-sourced fruit. Their tasting room features high ceilings and opens to the stone terrace that hosts tasting flights (except during live music). It’s open every day year-round and tours around the vineyard are also available.
Lieb Cellars
Founded in 1992, this 85-acre sustainably farmed vineyard is located 80 miles east of New York. Hidden on one of the most rural roads in North Fork, Lieb Cellars has expanded their collection to include lighter, fruitier wines and have pioneered alternative wine formats in New York, including 3L boxes and 20L disposable kegs. They also host private tastings (for up to 12 guests), which is held in their private library room.
