Below are some of our personal favorites. However, we are able to book private wine tours to any Long Island vineyard or winery

Duck Walk Vineyards

By far our most requested and most popular vineyard stop. Duck Walk Vineyards is one of the most well known names in quality wine on Long Island, NY. Encompassing 140 scenic acres and producing some 5,000 cases of awarding-winning wine each year, Duck Walk Vineyards has become a staple on one of the most famed growing regions in the country. From Vidal Ice Wine made with grapes actually frozen on the vine, to the renowned Blueberry Port crafted from wild Maine blueberries, their wines are crafted to be distinctive and exceptional.

44535 Main Rd, Southold, NY 11971

Pindar Vineyards

Another one of our absolute favorites, and one of Long Island's most popular vineyard destinations! Pindar Vineyards encompasses more than 500 scenic acres. They grow 17 varieties of grapes, crafting them into some 23 varietals and proprietary blends. Pindar produces 70,000 cases of wine a year, making them the largest vineyard on Long Island! But at heart, they are still a family business with a personal touch in every aspect of the process. Pindar also puts an emphasis on striving to create more impactful wines with less impact on the environment. 

37645 NY-25, Peconic, NY 11958

Long Island Spirits

A great vineyard alternative to add some diversity to your tour! Long Island Spirits was established in 2007 as the first distillery on Long Island since the 1800's and became the 100th Distillery in the United States of America. Surrounded by centuries old of potato, corn and rye farms, the distillery is located on the bucolic North Fork of Long Island, in the heart of the acclaimed wine region. Long Island Spirits is proud of its sustainable distillery practices and the innovative fermenting, distilling and blending techniques it has pioneered.

2182 Sound Ave, Baiting Hollow, NY 11933

Jason's Vineyard

Jason’s Vineyard was planted in 1996 using only the finest clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Jason's Vineyard also purchases the grape varietals of Sauvignon Blanc, Seyvel Blanc, Cayuga and Riesling. Jason's pioneered the dense spacing of vines on the North Fork. This technique, not seen prior to Jason's Vineyard, is more closely planted than many other local vineyards. The six feet between rows and three feet between adjacent vines are Bordeaux measurements. A lovely and relaxing vineyard destination.

1785 Main Rd, Jamesport, NY 11947

Hawk Ridge Winery (CT)

One of our popular non-Long Island destinations. Hawk Ridge Winery, part of Hidden Breeze Farm, is located in Watertown, Connecticut, a peaceful farm setting, in which to enjoy friends, family, and fantastic wine. Hidden Breeze Farm has been in existence since January, 2012. They decided to name our winery after the abundance of red tail hawks on the property. Hawk Ridge is dog friendly on the lawn and in the tent area. You may bring your own food it just can’t be serving style/in serving trays/or from an outside caterer. Ideal destination for tours leaving from New Jersey.

28 Plungis Rd. Watertown, CT 06795

Jamesport Vineyards

Jamesport Vineyards is a father-son collaboration that began in 1986 making it one of the North Fork’s oldest vineyards. The tasting room has increased to accommodate an ever growing number of visitors. The great lawn out back provides the perfect setting for the Jamesport weekends where people gather to enjoy great wine, light fare and summer jazz concerts. Other event spaces throughout the property provide the perfect setting for weddings, private parties and small gatherings. A fun and lively vineyard destination!

1216 Main Road, Rte. 25, Jamesport, NY 11947

Wine Tours and Excursions in New York State

Credit: @caicedojp on instagram.

One way to see the diverse landscapes of New York State is by visiting its wineries . Some are nestled into sloping lakeshores while others are tucked into the woods, or part of a scenic rural vista. How to visit varies, too. Depending on the experience, you may take a bus tour or limousine service or even a bicycle or boat. Or perhaps you’ll sip wine on a train, watching the countryside pass you by. Decide what you want your wine experience to look like and start planning now. 

Originally published 5/11/22

Captain Jim’s Wine Cruises (Finger Lakes) 

Finger Lakes wineries are famously scenic but there’s something extra special about arriving by boat. Make the most of your trip with Captain Jim’s Wine Cruises, where you’ll take a leisurely pontoon boat ride on beautiful Cayuga Lake while Captain Jim describes points of interest along the way. 

You can choose to visit three of the following wineries: Sheldrake Point Winery , Long Point Winery , Thirsty Owl Wine Company (which has a bistro perfect for lunch), or Goose Watch Winery . You’ll have about an hour at each stop, giving you ample time to eat, sample wines, and stroll around the picturesque vineyards. 

Captain Jim’s Wine Cruises take place Thursday-Monday and last from 10:30am to 4:30pm. The 2024 cruise season runs from May 11 - September 30. Each cruise is limited to six passengers.

East End Bike Tours (Long Island) 

Pedal your way through Long Island’s idyllic wine country, stopping to spot wildlife, take in harbor views, and of course sample plenty of North Fork vino. East End Bike Tours offers a range of experiences. Their fleet includes single-rider,tandem bicycles, and E-Bikes, and tours range from 12 to 16 miles long. Depending on the tour, you may also stop to pick fresh fruit, browse in local boutiques, or check out some craft breweries.  

Tours include a guide, unlimited non-alcoholic refreshments, olive oil and vinegar tastings, and a support vehicle to carry whatever you may buy along the way. Private and self-guided tours are also available, as are limousine tours for those who prefer not to ride bicycles. Tours run from May through October.

Their fleet of vehicles accommodates anywhere from two to 56 passengers. Once you know your group size, they’ll work with you to build your perfect itinerary, whether you want an educational outing, a party scene, or something in between.

Assemble your crew and climb aboard for a day of fun among friends. The Spa City Brew Bus seats up to 24 passengers with a minimum of 12 required. Tours are private so you and your group have the bus to yourselves and can set the tone, whether you want some calming background music for the ride or want to rev up the party with a round of karaoke. You’ll work with the Brew Bus folks to arrange pick-up time, location, and desired destinations. Tours typically last four hours (additional time can be added for a fee) and visit three of the Capital Region’s best breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries where you will enjoy beverage tastings at each location and some tasty eats at one of the spots!In addition to a professional driver, you’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who’ll regale you with music, games, raffles, snacks, and water.

City Winery (New York City)

For an all-encompassing wine excursion in one convenient setting, head to City Winery . The wine-tasting, dining, and live performance space at Pier 57 is the largest winery in New York City. Sample in-house wines in their tasting room, grab some dinner, catch a concert, or simply sip a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the Hudson River. City Winery hosts regular dining and wine tasting events like a fondue pairing experience, an evening with a master sommelier, paint & sip, and so much more!

Courtesy of taste 1000 islands .

Take a relaxing two-hour cruise with an experienced crew and Coyote Moon Vineyards. All cruises include one bottle of Coyote Moon wine per person and a cheese and cracker snack box. Plan to arrive at least one hour before departure, at which time you’ll take part in a wine tasting and select the bottle you’d like to take aboard. The cruise takes passengers on a relaxing ride through the scenic Thousand Islands. Large groups can book their own private wine cruise. The cruise season with Coyote Moon Vineyards runs from the end of June through early September.

Ride the Adirondack Railroad Beer & Wine Train (Central New York)

All aboard the Beer & Wine Train , an excursion that departs from Utica’s Union Station, a historic Beaux Arts building with marble pillars and a 35-foot tall barrel-vaulted ceiling. On board, passengers receive a complimentary glass. A selection of beer and wine is available for purchase. The train travels 20 miles north through the countryside and arrives at The Remsen Depot, where passengers will have 30 minutes to stretch their legs and browse in the gift shop before returning to Utica. First class and coach class tickets are available. Light snacks are served to all; first class passengers receive hors d’oeuvres. The Adirondack Beer & Wine Train offers trips in the spring, summer, and fall.

Niagara Wine Trail (Greater Niagara)

Take a self-guided tour of the Niagara Wine Trail, covering more than 60 miles and scattered with wineries full of rich history and beautiful landscapes. Enjoy seasonal wine-centric events happening along the trail, including Wine & Charcuterie, the Wine Festival, Harvest Festival, and Holiday Happening. Check out  Vizcarra Vineyards at Becker Farms  in Gasport for  tours and tastings  of their signature modern fruit infused wines. Sample award-winning wines paired with gourmet chocolate in the beautiful tasting room or outside surrounded by orchards on the  Black Willow Winery ’s 43-acre property. You can book Giorgio's  transportation services to take you and your group (in a vehicle of your choice) on a 6 or 8-hour wine tour excursion.

DIY Wine-themed Road Trip (Catskills/Hudson Valley)

This wine-themed road trip will take you into the heart of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley, and through adorable mountain towns like Phoenicia, Mount Tremper, and Ellenville. It’s a drive that allows you to explore the area’s scenic byways and attractions entirely at your own pace. 

Kick off your trip at The Vineyard at Windham in the northern Catskills. Their four-acre property offers views overlooking Windham Mountain  Club. The cozy tasting room is outfitted with plenty of windows so you don’t miss a moment of those views. While you’re basking in the scenery, sip on their merlot, Riesling, or rosé, or try a wine they’ve sourced from within New York State.  

Next, put on some good driving tunes and head south through the Hudson Valley to Christopher Jacobs Winery at Pennings Vineyard . Sample their award-winning wines while enjoying fresh air and mountain views. June marks the start of their Summer Live Music Series every Friday and Saturday from afternoon-sunset. 

You’ll swing back into the Catskills on your next and last stop at the adults-only, dog-friendly Bashakill Vineyards . Their wines are vegan, made by hand, and organic or low-spray, and they specialize in wines aged in French and American oak barrels. You’ll remember you’re in the wilds of the Catskills with wine names like Red Fox, Coyote, and Black Bear. You’ll probably be ready for dinner by this time and can sample bites from Bashakill's rotating menu of fresh ingredients.

Lake Erie Wine Country (Chautauqua-Allegheny) 

Courtesy of johnson estate winery.

More than 20 wineries spread across 53 miles of Lake Erie’s south shore make up the wine country here, giving road-tripping wine lovers miles of picturesque scenery. Visitors looking to carve out their own wine trail vacation will find a great resource in the Lake Erie Wine Country website . There’s information on transportation services, accommodations, restaurants, and of course, which wineries suit you and your group the best. The website helps users narrow down choices for easier planning. Looking for a winery where you can also grab a bite to eat? Add 21 Brix Winery to your itinerary. If you have a beer-drinker among you, head to Five & 20 Spirits/Mazza Chautauqua Cellars . If your pup is your travel partner, there’s a list of pet-friendly wineries, too. There are also recommendations on area attractions like the National Comedy Center and Panama Rocks Scenic Park to round out your trip to the region.

Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail (Adirondacks)

You don’t need a special excuse to visit Lake George but making the wineries on the Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail into a short road trip certainly gives you one. Adirondack Winery is located in the heart of Lake George Village , a lively local spot that’s usually offering one drink special or another in celebration of a holiday or local event. A second location in Queensbury includes a winemaking facility, tasting room, and a space for live events. Adirondack Winery creates inventive blends like a lavender infused rosé and a blueberry infused red, as well as a wide selection of red, white, and sparkling wines. 

The next and last wine destination on the Adirondack Craft Beverage trail is Ledge Rock Hill Winery & Vineyard , a family-run business with an Adirondack-style tasting room in a woodsy setting. Featured wines include Cranberry Blanc, Traminette, and Melody, a dry citrus white made from a grape of the same name. Ledge Rock Hill Winery & Vineyard often holds live music events.

The 24 Best Wineries and Vineyards Near NYC That Are Well Worth the Trip

And one vineyard you don't even have to leave the city for....

The West Coast may get the lion’s share of the glory when it comes to America’s wine regions but guess what: the East Coast (especially the Tri-State Area) can more than hold its own when it comes to vino . In fact, New York State alone has a long history of wine production and is even home to America’s oldest winery. From Finger Lakes to Cape May to New Haven, there are plenty of gorgeous vineyards to see and outstanding wines to try just a stone's throw away from the city. So the next time you’re in the mood to tour and taste grapes of the fermented variety, forget the pricey trip to Napa and instead head to one of these 24 wineries and vineyards near NYC. Cheers!

New York Wineries and Vineyards

1. Wölffer Estate (Sagaponack, NY)

Wolffer estate.

• Why We Love It: cider, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages available, seasonal Yoga in the Vines events
• Distance from NYC: 3 hours and 10 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes with a limit of eight guests when booking, which can be done on their website
• Location: 139 Sagg Rd., Sagaponack, NY
• Price: $$$$

Head over to the Hamptons to this 30-year estate where you can try wine, spirits and ciders. (I can personally attest to the fact that their rose cider is refreshing, delicious and downright gulpable.) They offer four unique experiences that feature the tasting room, a tour and so much more. For example, the Taste of the Season lets you try different wines with a few festive bites by their in-house chefs. A wine expert will guide you through the tasting while teaching you the ways their award-winning drinks have been made. And if you want to skip the tour and tasting, come by for Sunset Fridays and Saturdays where no reservations are needed. Just order a glass of wine, grab a bite and enjoy live music.

2. Brotherhood Winery

• Why We Love It: live music series; wide selection of reds, whites, rosé, sparkling and sangria
• Distance from NYC: About 1 hour and 15 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: No
• Location: 100 Brotherhood Plaza Dr., Washingtonville, NY

I’d like to take a moment to thank visionary Jean Jaques, who bought land in 1810 and began planting grapes. By 1839, he had fermented the very first wine vintage in America. While many more wineries have popped up since, the Brotherhood is still a must for wine lovers. Check out their hand-excavated underground cellars, try out five of their popular wines and even enjoy live performances every weekend.

3. Standing Stone Wines (Hector, NY)

Standing stone.

• Why We Love It: overlooks Seneca Lake, known for Gewürztraminer variety, cultivates lesser-known varietals
• Distance from NYC: About 4 hours and 40 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes; reservations can be made online here
• Location: 9934 Rte. 414, Hector, NY

If you're in the Finger Lakes area (specifically Seneca Lake) for weekend getaway, head over to Standing Stone Wines. Reserve a table and try their extensive wine list while learning all about the production that dates back to the '70s. And while you're enjoying a nice glass, take in the gorgeous view of the vineyard that expands over 46 acres and overlooks the lake.

4. Hudson-Chatham Winery (Ghent, NY)

• Why We Love It: curated tasting experiences, good for groups, walk-ins welcome
• Distance from NYC: About 2 hours and 35 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes; can be made online here or groups larger than nine can make advanced reservations by emailing [email protected]
• Location: 1900 State Rte. 66, Ghent, NY

This Hudson Valley mainstay’s list of accolades is too long to get into here, but trust us, you’ll love the wine as much as you love the sun-drenched tasting room. Since it was originally a dairy farm, don't be afraid to pair your wine with the in-house line of artisanal cheeses , jams and sauces, made in collaboration with local farmers. (Blood-orange cheese drizzle, where have you been all our lives?)

5. Bashakill Vineyards (Wurtsboro, NY)

• Why We Love It: live music, food and drinks on the weekend; walk-ins welcome (no reservations); adults-only; try three or six wines free for the price of a $12 souvenir glass
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 55 minutes by car
• Location: 1131 South Rd., Wurtsboro, NY

Looking for a fun thing to do this weekend? Visit Bashakill Vineyards. Whether you're there for the wine tasting (try three drinks for free and get a souvenir glass for $12) or the food (the seasonal and homemade dishes from the on-site chef are exceptional), or just looking to get away from the bustling city , here's a full experience worth exploring. Plus, it’s also dog-friendly so your doggo can enjoy the fun too.

6. Benmarl Winery (Marlboro, NY)

• Why We Love It: summer sangria festival, annual barrel tasting, takes reservations
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 50 minutes by car Reservation needed: Yes; reservations can be made online here
• Location: 156 Highland Avenue, Marlboro, NY

Known as the oldest vineyard in America, Benmarl Winery continues to be a staple in Marlboro. Grab a tour, sip some of their wines and take in the views of their 37-acre state with an impressive shot of the Hudson River Valley. And if you're lucky, they just might be making some pizza in their wood fired oven (so call ahead to find out).

7. Millbrook Vineyards & Winery (Millbrook, NY)

Millbrook vineyards.

• Why We Love It: Catskill Mountains views, loved by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal , walk-ins welcome, tours available, seasonal weekend food trucks
• Distance from NYC: 2 hour and 30 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes (but walk-ins are allowed for wine tastings on a first come, first serve basis); reservations can be made online here
• Location: 26 Wing Rd, Millbrook, NY

Owner John Dyson’s interest in wine started when he tried to impress a date with a jug of the stuff and enrolled in a wine course, but then grew to a full-fledged winery for everyone to enjoy. Since 1998, you can enjoy outdoor and indoor guided wine tastings, tours of 30 acres and relaxing in the picnic area (or terrace seating) overlooking the Catskills Mountains . Plus, if you're stopping by on Fridays, enjoy Friday Night Food Trucks, where you can enjoy local food, tap wine and fun lawn games for the whole family.

8. Rooftop Reds (Brooklyn, NY)

Rooftop reds.

• Why We Love It: seasonal pizza and wine movie nights, rooftop views, offsite tastings available
• Distance from NYC: it's in NYC!
• Reservation needed: Yes; make reservations by calling 917-336-8211
• Location: 299 Sands St. Bldg. 275, Brooklyn, NY

While we have a few notable wineries in the city, the so-called concrete jungle isn’t exactly conducive to a proper vineyard. Fortunately, the Rooftop Reds founders were up for the challenge, opening the world’s first commercially viable rooftop vineyard inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard (and trust us, the space has a lot to offer). Grab your friends and enjoy a glass while taking in the views of the bustling city, or for a more hands-on experience, join a wine tasting , participate in one of their nightly yoga classes or catch a movie overlooking the Empire State building.

9. Croteaux Vineyards (Southold, NY)

• Why We Love It: specializes in rosé, tasting garden, Cond é Nast Traveler favorite
• Distance from NYC: 3 hours and 15 minutes by car
• Location: 1450 S. Harbor Rd., Southold, NY

This Instagram-perfect vineyard, with its charming cobblestoned back patio and intricately designed bottles, can appropriately be summed up in a certain three-word hashtag:#roséallday. It’s the only vineyard in America dedicated exclusively to the pink stuff (and we're here for it). During the spring and summer, the tasting garden is particularly breathtaking as you're surrounded by a colorful and vibrant backdrop.

10. Bedell Cellars (Cutchogue, NY)

• Why We Love It: walk-ins welcome, great for groups up to 15 people, sustainable farming commitment, Wine Spectator calls it a “grand vin” of New York
• Distance from NYC: 3 hours by car
• Location: 36225 Main Rd., Cutchogue, NY

Of all the wineries near NYC, this family-run spot, which owes its high-quality wines to sustainable farming methods and a small-batch process, is hard to beat. The entire experience wins high praise from PureWow’s Senior Food Editor, Katherine Gillen , who has visited on more than one occasion: “I love it because it's not too scene-y, so it's easy enough to walk in on a summer weekend. The back patio and vineyard views are pretty and serene,and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Oh, and the wine is excellent,” she says. While you won’t want to leave the sunny outdoor pavilion, you should carve out a moment to visit the restored barn where the owner’s contemporary art collection is on display. And if you're stopping by on a Sunday enjoy live music from local artists.

11. Warwick Valley Winery (Warwick, NY)

• Why We Love It: seasonal weekend live music, also offer ciders and spirits, on-site café with seasonal offerings
• Location: 114 Little York Rd, Warwick, NY

The Hudson Valley is home to many wineries near NYC and there are numerous vineyards to choose from…but nothing beats Warwick Valley Winery. They started out growing apples, and have grown to providing wines, spirits and ciders (including New York's Original Cider). While you're browsing through their impressive drink collection, enjoy food straight from local farmers (like oven-ready pizza). And you can experience the winery all year long with apple-picking in the fall and music festivals (including tribute concerts) in their outdoor stage in the summer.

12. Macari Vineyards (Mattituck, NY)

Macari vineyards.

• Why We Love It: wine bar, memberships available, seasonal events
• Distance from NYC: 2 hour and 40 minutes by car
• Location: 150 Bergen Avenue, Mattituck, NY

This family-owned vineyard is a Long Island gem. Pick one of the experiences they offer to learn all about their wines while exploring the 500-acre space. Check out the Summer Tasting, where you can sample three wines, a cheese selection and a personal charcuterie board for each guest.

New Jersey Wineries and Vineyards

13. Willow Creek Farm & Winery (West Cape May, NJ)

Willow creek farm.

• Why We Love It: open year-round, full grill and charcuterie menu
• Reservation needed: Yes; tasting tours can be booked online here
• Location: 160-168 Stevens St., West Cape May, NJ

Cape May is already a hot spot for beaches, resorts and entertainment. It's no surprise they have a farm and one of the finest wineries near NYC to add to the list of fun things to do. Indulge in their group wine tasting (exploring five favorites), a tour via an electric cart to learn about the 50-acre farm or stop by Fire Pit Fridays for drinks, farm-fresh food and live music.

14. Old York Cellars (Ringoes, NJ)

Old york cellar.

• Why We Love It: wine and comedy shows, food pairing experiences, pet-friendly
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 15 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes but limited to six guests when booking, which can be done online here
• Location: 80 York Rd., Ringoes, NJ

Just an hour away from the city, Old York Cellars has all the activities you're looking for in a winery. Enjoy a nice glass of wine in a cabana or reserve your spot in the open acres with the family. If you're looking to enhance your wine tasting skills, add in the Wine, Charcuterie & Chocolate experience where you can pair award-winning wine with meats, cheeses and delicious chocolate truffles. Or, choose the Chef Jose's Wine and Tapas Experience where you try some wine and fresh Spanish tapas (because wine pairs well with more than just meat and cheese).

15. Beneduce Vineyards (Pittstown, NJ)

Beneduce vineyards.

• Why We Love It: sustainably farmed, small-batch wines, family-friendly Sunday picnics with live music and food trucks
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 10 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Open to walk-ins on a limited basis; reservations are recommended for weekend visits and can be made here
• Location: 1 Jeremiah Lane, Pittstown, NJ

This NJ vineyard is where you'll find the finest wines in the state, but it’s really the events that have us trekking away from the Big Apple. Every weekend, join "Group Therapy" where there are live performances, local food trucks and fun lawn games. Whether you're relaxing on the lawn or want a peaceful moment with your wine at their crush pad, the whole fam can join a weekend of bliss.

16. Hawk Haven Vineyard (Rio Grande, NJ)

• Why We Love It: specialties include white Port-style wine, Méthode Champenoise Brut and Méthode Ancestrale sparkling wines; seasonal live music and food events
• Distance from NYC: 2 hours and 35 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes. Can be made online here , or by emailing [email protected]
• Location: 600 South Railroad Avenue, Rio Grande, NJ

There's always something fun happening at the Hawk Haven Vineyard. Since opening its doors in 2008, it has delivered a variety of wines and activities, plus a healthy dose of local pride. Daily you'll find an event for the wine lover, foodie or music aficionado. In particular, The Rootstock concert series bridges all those together every weekend with local musicians, ever-changing food trucks (and their priceless wines of course) and exclusively to adults only (so leave the kiddos at home). But if you're looking to mellow out, reserve a spot to learn all about the vineyard, wine selection and local farm.

17. Tomasello Winery

• Why We Love It: 10 locations throughout the state, opera galas, seasonal events
• Distance from NYC: 45 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Not required, but recommended on weekends; can be made online or by phone by calling 1-800-666-9463
• Location: multiple locations

FYI, this is not your average winery. Yes, you can head to the Hammonton area to check out their vineyard but why limit yourself to one spot in the Garden State? If you’re interested in trying one of their 50+ wines, their tasting room is scattered across ten locations in the state. Once you head over to one, there you can choose from their signature (which has five samplings) or Riedel (which has eight samplings and a souvenir glass) tastings. How would it be to visit all ten, we wonder?

18. Laurita Winery (New Egypt, NJ)

• Why We Love It: food truck season pass available, seasonal food and entertainment events
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 30 minutes by car
• Location: 85 Archertown Rd, New Egypt, NJ

Come for the wine (and their signature sangria) and stay for all the fun events happening on the weekends. On Fridays, stop by for Fridays at the Grove, order from Laurita's Eats (we’re fans of the turkey club or steak melt) and hang out for a while. Or show off your cornhole skills at a friendly competition game where you can win big prizes (like a $200 cash card). And if you're in a dancing mood, grab tickets to an ‘80s-themed dance party because why not?

Connecticut Wineries and Vineyards

19. jones family farms & winery (shelton, ct).

• Why We Love It: light food menu, emphasis on seasonal ingredients, offers seven different vintages
• Location: 606 Walnut Tree Hill Rd., Shelton, CT

Grab your friends and head over to this Connecticut winery. Join a weekend wine tasting and you just might get live music while you're taking a sip. And once you're all done, continue your trip to the 400-acre farm where you can hand-pick strawberries and blueberries (or pumpkins in the fall).

20. White Silo Farms & Winery (Sherman, CT)

• Why We Love It: small-batch wines, picnic baskets available, seasonal farm festivals
• Distance from NYC: 1 hour and 45 minutes by car
• Reservation needed: Yes (you can book online here )
• Location: 32 Rt. 37 East, Sherman, CT

There's no need to break the bank to enjoy high quality wine. The tasting room in White Silo Farms & Winery is only $14 per person and it includes four samplings (plus some sangria ) and a souvenir glass. Then, take a tour and discover the dairy barn turned winery (where the wines are processed) and the breathtaking outdoor gardens. Plus, you don't want to miss out on all the activities they offer—from art exhibitions to yoga in the vineyard.

21. Bishop's Orchards Farm & Winery (Guilford, CT)

• Why We Love It: house-made fruit wines and hard ciders, seasonal events, family-friendly
• Distance from NYC: 2 hours and 20 minutes by car
• Location: 1355 Boston Rd., Guilford, CT

The award-winning winery (with 440 awards) is a must-see spot in Guilford area. Why? For its wide selection of wine and hard ciders. You don't have to wait until the weekend to try a wine tasting (so, wine Wednesday anyone?). Take in a tour or finish off with a look at the Bishop's Orchards Farm. There you'll find a market, homemade ice cream and a chance to pick some blueberries and peaches.

22.   Hopkin’s Vineyard (Warren, CT)

• Why We Love It: wine bar; specializes in dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines; seasonal live music
• Distance from NYC: 2 hours and 10 minutes by car
• Location: 25 Hopkins Rd., Warren, CT

For over 225 years, the Hopkin's family has turned this vineyard into a Connecticut staple. Explore all the wine selections (in the state's first established wine bar) and admire the 19th century aesthetic. When you're finished learning about ingredients and the best food pairings, make time to view Lake Waramaug in the background.

23. Paradise Hills Vineyard (Wallingford, CT)

Paradise hills.

• Why We Love It: book clubs, classes, live music
• Distance from NYC: 2 hours and 25 minutes by car
• Location: 15 Windswept Hill Rd, Wallingford, CT

There’s plenty of wine tasting and fun to be had at Paradise Hills. Order a glass and take in the musical performances on the weekend. Plus, the outdoor patio provides a stunning look at the vineyard and the hills along the George Washington trail.

24. Jonathan Edwards Winery (North Stonington, CT)

• Why We Love It: winery tours, summer music concert series, seasonal food events
• Distance from NYC: 3 hours and 20 minutes by car
• Location: 74 Chester Maine Rd., N. Stonington, CT

Step into the New Haven area for Jonathan Edwards Winery. The family-owned business offers wine tasting that includes five samplings daily, as well as seasonal guided tours. If you plan your visit right, you might even be treated to some of the very fun events they host, including festivals, concerts and more. Plus, the space alone (featuring stone patios, large barn doors and a front-row seat of the sunset) is enough to make the trip.

12 of the Best New York Wineries, From Brooklyn to the Finger Lakes

From the Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley to New York City and Long Island, here are 12 of the best New York wineries.

Anne Olivia Bauso is a travel writer and hotel expert based in New York City. She has written hundreds of hotel reviews, from 5-star Ritz-Carlton properties to treehouse eco-resorts in the jungle.

When it comes to wine making in the U.S., sunny California gets all the love. It's true, the Mediterranean-like valleys north of San Francisco are certainly ideal for vineyards. (Fertile soil is one perk of the area's seismic tendencies.) Yet many grape varieties are cuckoo for cooler temps, and Northern California is not the end-all, be-all of American wine production. On the opposite side of the country, New York state — whose viticulture was once rather limited to sweet concord ice wine — has quietly grown into a wine-producing powerhouse. Wine making in the state's Hudson Valley dates back to the 1600s, so it's not totally surprising that New York has emerged at the forefront of the industry.

From the North Fork of Long Island to the Finger Lakes and back to Brooklyn (really!), the Empire State is home to some 2,000 wineries and vineyards — the majority family-owned and several truly outstanding. Here are some of the best New York wineries and vineyards.

Finger Lakes Wineries

Ravines wine cellars in seneca lake.

The Finger Lakes may not be as wine-famous as Napa and Sonoma, but this rustic winery proves that the region is just as stunning. The incredible natural beauty — rolling bands of green vines, the deep, dark blue of glacier-carved Seneca Lake — would tempt grape lovers to stick around even if the wine wasn't very good. (Luckily, it's very good.) Ravines' beautifully restored barn looks like it's straight out of California wine country, as do the artful meat and cheese boards and the wedding-ready tasting menus.

Nearby: The 1914 Geneva on the Lake Boutique Resort Hotel was designed to emulate a villa outside of Rome. Pay homage to the hotel's Frascati inspiration by drinking up lake views and a glass of sparkling.

Boundary Breaks in Lodi

This pristine winery on the Seneca Wine Trail focuses on cool-air-loving riesling grapes, grown on-site, fermented in stainless-steel casks, and made in styles ranging from sparkling to sweet to super dry. Red wine lovers, fret not: Boundary is also known for its fruit-forward cabernet franc.

Nearby: The Finger Lakes region is patchworked with family winegrowers….and orchards, creameries, and horse pastures. Between idyllic vineyard visits, explore the area's non-wine offerings, like Rue Claire Lavender Farm and Wolftree , a pick-your-own blueberry farm with an apiary and wool from Icelandic sheep, set between Seneca Lake and Finger Lakes National Forest .

Vineyard View in Keuka Park

Go for the vino, stay for the views. This fifth-generation grape farm has a primo spot far above Keuka Lake. For the full experience, grab a two-top on the terrace and sample the selection, from the just barely spicy (and quick to sell out) traminette to the dry marquette — harvested, crushed, and pressed on-site.

Nearby: If Vineyard Views isn't hosting a pop-up event with a local restaurant, drive three miles up the lake for a heaping tray of fried chicken and mashed potatoes (and a sundae) at Seneca Farms Ice Cream .

Stever Hill Vineyards in Branchport

This family-friendly farm doesn't quite compare to Vineyard View's lake scenery, but its panorama of grapevines and forested hills is as peaceful as can be. And it has the sort of warm, laid-back vibe that encourages all-day lingering, with a genuinely friendly staff happy to make recommendations. A renovated barn (with a backbone of 1850s hand-hewn wood beams) houses the tasting room, wine shop, and big back deck. Try the fan-favorite Old Barn Red (aged in New York oak) or, on a hot summer day, a juicy, boozy slushie.

Nearby: Conklin's Gully and Grimes Glen are lovely waterfall hikes within easy reach by car, for anyone really wanting to earn their afternoon wine flight. Work in a stop at the Havill Pottery farm studio, long run by a husband-and-wife ceramicist team, for functional souvenirs of the hand-painted stoneware sort.

Hudson Valley Wineries

Benmarl winery in marlboro.

Benmarl is what you're picturing when you think of the ideal upstate visit. The small-scale operation has spruce columns of grapevines stretching along the hillside, an antique pick-up truck hidden in the garden, and a driftwood gazebo framing the Hudson River Valley — the perfect spot for sunset photo ops. Benmarl focuses on small-batch NY wines, from their site-grown Baco noir and cabernet franc varieties to North Fork merlot. If you need to soak up all that wine, order a bubbling pizza, wood-fired in an outdoor brick oven.

Nearby: Toast to a day well spent at The Ship Lantern Inn , a cozy dining room that throws back to another era, 10 minutes up pretty Highway 9W. (If you're looking for a pre-winery meal, try your luck for brunch at Blooming Hill Farm . Even if the wait stretches into hour-long territory, it's time well spent.)

Millbrook Vineyards & Winery in Millbrook

With 130 acres that feel like the French countryside and a big vaulted barn venue, it's really no surprise that visitors love this Millbrook winery. The wine holds its own against the magical setting — sit at the tasting bar to sample Millbrook's chardonnay, cabernet franc, and heady pinot noir, or pick up bottles and go at your own pace, preferably in an easy chair on the front lawn.

Nearby: Millbrook's shop sells crackers, sea salt caramels, and other local goodies, but if you're looking to have a picnic or throw dinner on the grill, head four miles north to Big Rock Community Farms Market . The charming two-room shop in Stanfordville carries local H.V. produce, meat, cheese, and more on the ground floor of an 1845 house. Call in advance to visit Conrad Levenson 's open-air sculpture garden, a little further north, with whimsical works made from materials like scrap metal, salvaged wood, and wagon wheels.

Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery in Gardiner

After a morning hike through Minnewaska or Mohonk Preserves (or a morning scramble up Bonticou Crag), reward your efforts in Whitecliff 's cozy tasting room or shady picnic grove. The sustainable winery (named for the white cliffs in the distance) is known for its merlot and malbec blend (a bestseller), fruity vidal blanc, and oak-fermented chardonnay. There's a solid menu of affordable flights, too; just be sure to book your reservation through the website.

Nearby: For more local goodness, drive up to Butterfield for a rhapsodic meal celebrating the natural bounty of the Hudson Valley (you'll see Whitecliff on the excellent wine menu). If you're in more of a bar food mood, there's the quaint New Paltz gastropub, Huckleberry .

Milea Estate Vineyard in Straatsburg

Though it's new on the scene, this 98-acre vineyard has already carved out a big name for itself on the Dutchess County wine trail. Anchored by a charming white farmhouse, this small estate makes a crowd-pleasing sparkling rosé, a plummy merlot, and a crisp chardonnay that reflects Hudson Valley's unique terroir.

Nearby: Stand high over Ferncliff Forest — a 200-acre chunk of old-growth forest peppered with easy walking trails and old stone ruins — in its fire tower with magnificent views of the land and Hudson River. Swing by Migliorelli Farm Stand for fresh dinner supplies or check into Mirbeau Inn & Spa Rhinebeck for a luxe retreat.

Long Island Wineries

Pindar vineyards in peconic.

Long Island's North Fork is a string of upscale wineries — and Pindar Vineyards was among the first. These days, the former potato farm is now a 500-acre enterprise with nearly 20 varieties of grapes (and a famous sunflower field). Fans swear that Pindar wines, including their red table wine (a smooth bordeaux blend) and vivid cabernet sauvignon, could vie with those made in California and France.

Nearby: Remain transported at North Fork Table & Inn — the chef earned his chops in kitchens in Paris and Napa Valley.

RGNY in Riverhead

Maria Rivero González harvested grapes with her family for years in Mexico's Parras Valley before setting her eyes on the North Fork. Attracted by Long Island's cool, maritime climate, the Mexican winemaker opened her certified-sustainable vineyard in 2019, where she grows and bottles unfiltered cabernet franc, velvety viognier with a hint of pineapple, and other meticulously thought-out wines.

Nearby: Taste the freshest oysters of your life at Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market , a homespun seafood shack in Greenport, before retiring to the beautiful The Menhaden (and its rooftop deck overlooking the harbor).

Castello di Borghese Vineyard in Cutchogue

Castello di Borghese lays claim to the title of Long Island's first vineyard. In the early 1970s, its founders realized that the area's fertile soil and oceanic climate were irresistible to grapevines. Modern-day visitors swear the vineyard's still got it (it's run by the original family, after all), praising its excellent pinot noir, peppery cabernet franc, and zippy sauvignon blanc.

Nearby: Hit up another local 70s-era landmark, Magic Fountain , where homemade ice cream flavors range from kulfi (rosewater, pistachio, and cardamon) to vegan coffee almond fudge.

New York City Wineries

Rooftop reds in brooklyn.

Beaches, ruins, cathedrals, caves...and wineries. Yes, New York City really has it all. The city is home to a number of wineries (where wines are made from grapes grown elsewhere), but Rooftop Reds ups the ante and actually grows grapes (via a unique planting system) on a 14,800-square-foot rooftop in Brooklyn's Navy Yard. You'll have more than a dozen bottle selections, plus traminette, white, and dry rosé on tap — not to mention killer skyline views and bragging rights (how many inner-city vineyards do you know?).

Nearby: Former Crown Heights favorite The Food Sermon is a go-to for huge, healthy Caribbean bowls (think gingery rice with curried chicken and market veggies).

The Hudson Valley, one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the United States, is celebrated for its breathtaking scenery and rich history . Located along the Hudson River, this region benefits from a mix of maritime influences and fertile soil, ideal for growing both classic and hybrid grape varieties.

Vineyards in the Hudson Valley range from small, family-owned operations to larger, more commercially focused wineries. This area is particularly known for its white wines and sparkling wines. The region also hosts numerous wine festivals and events throughout the year, making it a vibrant part of New York’s wine culture.

Wine Tasting Tips for First-Time Visitors

Exploring a vineyard and tasting wines can be really fun. Enjoying the flavors, aromas, and atmosphere is great. Learning some basics helps you appreciate the experience even more.

How to Taste Wine

Start with Appearance : Look at the color and clarity of the wine. White wines can range from pale yellow to deep gold. Red wines vary from light red to deep purple.

Smell the Wine: Swirl the wine gently in the glass. This helps release the aromas. Take a good sniff to get a sense of the wine’s bouquet.

Taste the Wine : Take a small sip and let it roll across your tongue. Notice the flavors and textures. Think about the balance between sweetness, acidity, and tannins.

Consider the Finish: After swallowing, pay attention to the aftertaste. A long finish usually indicates a high-quality wine.

Vineyard Etiquette

Dress Appropriately: Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Vineyards often have rough terrain. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also good for outdoor tours.

Be On Time: Arriving on schedule respects the staff and other visitors. If you have an appointment, make sure to be there a few minutes early.

Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask about the wines, grape varieties, and production methods. Staff members are usually happy to share their knowledge.

Use Spittoons: This helps you taste various wines without getting too tipsy. Especially if you’re trying several wines in one visit.

Be Polite : Appreciate the effort that goes into making wine. Acknowledge the vineyard staff and thank them for their time and effort.

Best Seasons to Visit

Spring: Vines begin to bud, and the landscape is lush and green. This season offers mild weather and fewer crowds.

Summer: This is a popular time for vineyard tours. The weather is warm, and the vines are full of grapes. It’s a festive atmosphere but can be crowded.

Fall: Harvest season is the most exciting time to visit. You can see the grapes being picked and processed. The fall colors make for beautiful scenery.

Winter: The vineyards are less crowded in winter. Some may offer special events or tastings during this time. While it may be colder, the tasting rooms are cozy and inviting.

An Upstate New York rail bike company is offering a workout with a historical twist on its rail bike rides—the only one of its kind in the U.S.

Finger Lakes Rail Riders in Penn Yan claims to be the only rail bike company in America which provides a historical narration of the area as you pedal through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Upstate New York’s wine country .

They were also awarded a Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award earlier this year, according to an announcement on their Facebook page .

At FLRR, riders will travel in pairs, with a solo seat option to ride with the guide, along a mostly flat five-mile path . The two-hour excursion includes a 25- to 30-minute narration of Yates County history, delivered with a humorous touch by your guide through a two-way radio on each bike.

Think Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” but Upstate New York style.

Over the course of your journey, you will see working farms, relics from the railroad that was once there, and a one-room Mennonite schoolhouse. Participants are encouraged to ask questions along the way.

See rail bike companies across Upstate NY

Rail bikes are a unique way to see the state's beautiful landscapes.

“People can come and ride on existing railroads that have been here since 1851,” founder and owner Kathy Ferron told RochesterFirst. “They can get a little exercise, they can see some beautiful scenery — Yates County is an absolutely spectacular place to see.”

While in the area, visit some of the finest Penn Yan has to offer in the Finger Lakes , including paddling on beautiful Keuka Lake , and not one, but two award-winning ice cream spots, The Spotted Duck and Seneca Farms .

FLRR rides run Sunday through Tuesday and Friday through Saturday from now until October 29. The cost per two-seater bike is $88 and there is no age limit to how young or how old a rider has to be.

One person can pedal for two, as long as their fitness level allows it.

FLRR answers more questions about their rides on their website FAQ page .

Rail bike options have grown over the years, giving some abandoned railroad tracks new life by allowing passengers to travel down them on two or four person machines. There are several companies across Upstate New York which offer different kinds of excursions and experiences. Some even offer pet-friendly rail bike tours.

Coravin's Inventor On The Future Of Wine Tasting

Coravin’s upcoming tour will offer oenophiles the opportunity to sample rare wines by the glass at top restaurants, providing a unique chance to experience wines often only available by the bottle.

• Share to Linkedin

Coravin's lineup of wine preservation systems.

Coravin changed the wine opener game when it launched its first device in 2013. Now more than a decade later, with several wine preservation systems in its portfolio, Coravin continues to shape the wine industry by changing both how (and how long) we can enjoy wine.

Founded by Greg Lambrecht, ​​Coravin manufactures devices that allow wine enthusiasts to pour wine without removing the cork, preserving the remaining wine for days or weeks—and sometimes even up to years. The system works by inserting a thin needle through the cork and replacing the poured wine with inert gas, preventing oxidation.

As the wine industry evolves, Lambrecht believes that technology will play an essential role in enhancing consumer experiences, especially in fine dining and hospitality.

"Since founding Coravin, my goal has always been to change the way the world experiences wine. I see a growing demand for more personalized, curated experiences," Lambrecht tells Forbes . "Our ultimate goal is to help venues optimize their inventory, reduce waste and deliver an unparalleled wine experience to every guest."

Lambrecht sees Coravin’s technology as a game-changer for both consumers and restaurants.

For customers, this means enabling them to explore an array of wines-by-the-glass without committing to a full bottle. And for the restaurant, it greatly reduces risk of spoilage.

At the moment, Lambrecht is on a world tour that will offer consumers exclusive opportunities to taste through a collection of fine and rare wines-by-the-glass at some of the world’s most celebrated restaurants.

"The Coravin World Wine Tour was inspired by our mission to transform the way people experience wine," Lambrecht tells Forbes . “It also demonstrates to consumers that they can have an excellent wine-by-the-glass program in their own homes using the same systems used at the restaurant.”

For Coravin founder Greg Lambrecht, the future of wine preservation is about more than just technology—it’s about transforming the way people experience and enjoy wine.

Coravin’s World Wine Tour, which launched in Europe and Australia earlier this year, has now reached the United States, with events scheduled for New York, Los Angeles and Boston this month. The tour features a selection of wines-by-the-glass, from well-known producers like Krug and Dom Perignon to rare Burgundy and California wines.

"When selecting participating restaurants, we focused on venues with a strong commitment to their wine-by-the-glass programs and a reputation for delivering exceptional guest experiences," Lambrecht explains. Among some of the participating U.S. restaurants include Atomix and Atoboy in New York City, Mastro’s Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and Geppetto in Boston.

Participating venues will be using Coravin’s wine openers, allowing them to expand their by-the-glass menus without compromising the freshness or quality of the wine. Some restaurants will offer up to 150 wines by the glass. Lambrecht stresses technology’s role in making this possible, explaining that Coravin’s systems "allow venues to expand their by-the-glass offerings dramatically, keeping wines fresh for weeks, months and years after the first pour."

Coravin’s founder says the wine preservation system benefits restaurants by enabling them to offer a wider variety of wines while reducing waste.

With Coravin systems now available in over 60 countries, the Massachusetts-based company is focused on expanding its global presence as well as promoting wine-by-the-glass programs worldwide.

"As technology continues to advance, I envision a more seamless integration between wine service and customer engagement," he says. “By collaborating with these networks, we aim to elevate wine education and appreciation on a global scale.”

• This Net-Zero Modern Farmhouse in New York’s Hudson Valley Can Be Yours for $9.8 Million

High View Farm in Upstate New York sits on 29 acres and is powered by an array of solar roof tiles, while geothermal loops provide hydronic under-floor heating.

Currently  listed for $9.8 million  by Gary DiMauro and Annabel Taylor of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty, the Winchell Trail compound comprises a main residence, barn, a potting shed, and an open-air pool house. Taking on the familiar shape of agrarian structures with steep gabled rooflines, the home’s sleek,  modern architecture  is paired with high-quality natural and sustainable materials that connect it to its surroundings. The fieldstone-accented exterior is clad in vertical strips of Abodo wood pine siding, which is thermally modified, remarkably durable, and more environmentally friendly than traditional siding.

Among the net-zero abode’s energy-saving materials and systems are Tesla solar roof tiles that power the entire property, Marvin brand fixed-panel windows and Awake sliding glass doors that provide both light and energy efficiency, and geothermal loops for hydronic under-floor heating, along with forced air cooling. The house is also outfitted with a comprehensive Control 4 home system to control the lights, climate, shades, cameras, pool temperature, and more.

The great room also houses a dining table for up to 14, as well as the chic, battleship-grey kitchen that’s configured around a long eat-in kitchen island. Both the kitchen and the butler’s pantry feature countertops and backsplashes crafted from honed Brazilian Cielo natural quartzite. State-of-the-art appliances include an AGA Mercury induction stove, a Thermador fridge, and an Asko dishwasher, and there’s a wine fridge, second dishwasher, and integrated Miele coffee system in the pantry.

The three primary suites have different finishes and design schemes. However, each spacious room has lighted closets lined with custom fittings and access to private patios. One of the primary bathrooms is slathered in Italian Fior Di Pesco Carnico slabs on the shower walls and vanities, while the freestanding Penhaligon bathtub sits on silver moon limestone sourced from India. The other primary bathroom features Turkish Hermes grey marble, and the third has Italian Calacatta Viola slab marble accents. Elsewhere in the house is a movie theater and a gym with a Tonal Smart personal training machine, a yoga area, and a cedar sauna. 

Outside, a 50-foot by 11-foot saltwater gunite pool with a sun shelf and hot tub is complemented by a pool house that’s topped by a live green roof. Inside are a lounge/sleeping area, a full kitchen, and a bathroom. The potting shed, whose design is inspired by an outbuilding seen at Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York, is used for storage, while the 30-foot by 40-foot barn showcases wood beams hewn by local Connecticut barn builders. There’s room for two cars, and the hayloft has the potential to be converted into additional living space. Finally, in addition to an outdoor fire pit, there’s a charming outdoor venue called Maple Grove, perfect for hosting parties.
