Happy first day of Fall! And what better way to celebrate Fall than by planning a visit to one (or some) of Long Island's own wineries? If you're tired of the traditional North and South Fork hot spots, give one of the below a try:

Whisper Vineyards - 485 Edgewood Ave, St. James
Part of the Borealis Farm operation, this cozy spot offers a large tasting room and outdoor patio - significantly closer than those on the North or South Fork. Enjoy a selection of wines, beer, and NY spirits with friends or family Wednesdays through Sundays.

Lieb Cellars - 13050 Oregon Rd, Cutchogue
Hidden on one of the most rural roads on the North Fork, this daily, year round winery features an indoor rustic-chic tasting bar, private library room and furnished front deck - with fire pits for fall! Plus there’s live music from 6-9p on Friday nights through the fall and winter. UPDATE: For those traveling in buses or limos, book a reservation at their Bridge Lane Wine Tasting Room in Mattituck!

Kontokosta - 825 North Rd, Greenport
A newer winery located north of the village, Kontokosta is situated on sixty-two acres - boasting over a quarter-mile of Long Island Sound waterfront. The large 4,500 square foot industrial barn serves as the main tasting room for this winery, putting out 4,000 bottles a year. UPDATE: Buses, limousines, and vans are not permitted. 

Diliberto Winery - 250 Manor Lane, Jamesport
Escape to an Italian trattoria, state side. The design of this tasting room allows visitors to enjoy award winning wines in an atmosphere similar to the experience they would have sitting in a small Piazza in Italy. Live music, pizza, and Italian specialties are available for purchase.

With the North and South Fork lined with vineyards, you may easily miss these more off the beaten path locations. Be sure to check out one of the above hidden gems on your next trip out east!
