The North Fork Wineries

 

Long island is blessed with a geography varied and stunning, lush verdant woodlands, gorgeous beaches and of course the rolling vineyards of the North Fork.  From Pindar to Macari and Bedell to Baiting Hollow, long islands wineries have a lineage, a beauty, and a vintage that is unlike anything in the world, and for most of us these prestigious establishments are only a few hours away.  When the weather becomes warmer and the snow finally melts, hundreds of thousands of long islanders will begin their long awaited migration out east and it is during this time that these legendary wineries come to life.

Starting in Riverhead with Schneider and Palmer vineyards the North Fork is populated with over twenty acclaimed wineries.  Some are in relatively close proximity where as others are a bit off the beaten path, the wineries out east cater to those of all interests and walks of life.  There are of course your more classic establishments those that have existed for decades and boast vintages rivaling the great French and Chilean wines, places like Laurel Lake, Baiting Hollow, Pindar and The Old Fields Vineyards have been perfecting the art of Viticulture since the late 70’s.  Now understandably these vintages aren’t exactly comparable to the wines gleaned from the centuries old fields of Alsace and Bordeux but long island wines are in a class all their own.  Having been grown in soil that is by comparison very young these wines are sweeter and in many cases lighter than their cousin’s across the sea.  So although a vineyard like Baiting hollow may not have the history of a vineyard in the south of France the beauty and style of these establishments are extraordinary in their own right.

Now maybe you’re not a connoisseur or you’re into a faster paced style of unwinding but you still enjoy a good wine.  Perhaps these quieter and more traditional establishments are not for you, not to worry the growing interest in Long Island’s Wineries has created a blossoming industry and a big business that has developed rapidly to cater to all its potential patrons.  Take vineyard 48 for example, relatively new even compared to its neighbors.  Vineyard 48 is attempting to revolutionize the wine tasting experience with loud music, dance floors and an appeal to the younger generation.  Traditionalists may frown at the idea of such a thing but it certainly seems to be a hit with the Hamptons crowd, and with so many other venues to choose from how can anyone really complain.

It’s important to remember when planning your trips to the wineries out east that you arrange safe and reliable transportation.  Please do not drink and drive.  There are many methods of travel but usually the most ideal is to contract a limousine service.  Nothing is quite as luxurious or classy as riding out to the North Fork in a 2013 stretch limousine dressed to the nines with your closest friends.  If you’re taking the trip with more than just your closest friends the 2013 Escalades are aesthetically incredible inside and out, and if you’re really popular maybe the 56 passenger luxury coach is the way you need to go.  Whatever your needs it is important to consider the establishments you’re planning to visit. Some have very strict guidelines regarding the reservation process and require you to schedule an appointment or a time that you will be arriving.  This can pose a problem for those of us that are less then punctual especially when adding a few drinks to the equation so again allow a professional company like All Star Limousines to do the work for you.  We have specialists that will ensure you not only have an unforgetable ride in one of our immaculate and brand new luxury vehicles but that also will take care of all the worry and stress that can potentially detract from the magical experience of Long Island’s North Fork.
