What Type of Wines are Produced by Long Island Vineyards?

Car Service

Long Island’s vineyard estates produce a variety of wines, although they’re most well-known for Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The North Fork and the Hamptons are the primary wine-growing regions, with the North Fork being home to more than half of Long Island’s wineries.

North Country Limousine is your transportation partner for winery tours anywhere on Long Island. We offer a streamlined service to ensure safe and luxurious travel between local estates.

 

Long Island’s Wine Scene is Young and Loves to Break the Rules

Booking a Long Island wine tasting room tour is exciting because you will experience one of the youngest wine regions in the world.

Producers here love to break the rules while innovating on traditional methods. You can visit vineyards and find rich and sweet dessert wines, oak-aged reds, and traditional sparkling styles made following the authentic méthode champenoise (the same method used in Champagne, France).

Rosé wines are particularly popular in the region, especially just after the Fall harvest.

It’s rare to find a wine region with as much variety as you will get on Long Island. Visiting the tasting rooms here is like exploring the wealth of global wine culture in one concentrated region.

Standout Wines at Three Special Wineries on the North Fork

North Country Limousine, one of the top-rated luxury transportation services in Suffolk County, has partnered with three distinct wineries to offer priority reservations.

You can expect to sample some unique wines at one of these three estates, all with their own personalities.

  • Duck Walk Vineyards produces around 5,000 cases of award-winning wine each year. One of their most unique offerings is their Vidal Ice Wine, made using grapes that were frozen on the vine. This is a sweet dessert wine with an intense flavor profile.
  • Jason’s Vineyard is another popular stop for a winery tour. This family-run vineyard has won prestigious awards and is well known for its Bubbly Rosé with crisp notes of strawberry and melon. If you prefer deeper reds, its Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied choice with balanced tannins.
  • Pindar Vineyards has over 45 years of history in the region and produces everything from perfectly balanced Sauvignon Blanc to the richly fortified Cabernet Port with both Franc and Sauvignon grapes. Pindar is the perfect example of a vineyard that follows tradition in the sense of winemaking art and quality, but breaks the rules by experimenting successfully with a range of varietals.

Securing a tasting room tour at these popular wineries can be challenging during the busy summer and fall periods. Booking a wine tasting tour with priority reservations can ensure that you get time in the tasting room to explore your palate.
