Can I Start a Fall Winery Tour from the Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip?
Yes, a winery tour can start directly from Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Islip. If you’re flying in from out of town, a North Country Limousine chauffeur can even meet you at the airport holding a sign with your name. You can go from touchdown to wine tasting without any guesswork.
MacArthur Airport is one of the most convenient hubs to reach Suffolk County’s wine country. Instead of splitting your group into rideshares or renting multiple vehicles, everyone arrives safely together and begins the trip the moment they land.
How Long Does It Take to Get Out of the Airport?
Timing is the most crucial thing to consider when you’re flying in on the morning of your wine tasting tour. Most groups can expect to be curbside within 30 to 45 minutes of landing, depending on checked bags and group size. MacArthur is a smaller regional airport, handling about a million and a half passengers each year. It’s domestic-only, so you’ll only go through standard baggage claim and airport security, rather than the long terminal waits common at larger New York airports.
Your chauffeur will be ready when you are. We track live flight data, so an early arrival or delay is automatically accommodated by our team. From the airport, the drive to the wineries on the North Fork is typically around an hour. Weekdays are ideal if you’re going straight from the airport to the tasting rooms. Traffic is lighter, which means less time on the road and more freedom to enjoy the wineries and the beautiful fall weather.
