Last November, just at the tail-end of the season, I took my sister on a media trip to Long Island Wine Country.
Jo-Ann is the owner and operator of Vintage Tours and she was incredible – so knowledgable about the entire area, answering our questions, dropping us off everywhere we needed to be and most importantly, acting as our designated driver as we sipped our way through the North Fork wineries.
• stops at local farm stands for fresh produce and homemade goods
Our first stop on a cold, damp November day was Waters Crest Winery, where we sipped some award winning wines and had a fantastic boxed lunch waiting for us.
We got to taste some of his blended wines and learned that the North Fork area’s soil matched that of the Bordeaux area in France, making for some lovely red wine!
