February 14, 2010(Sunday)  "Wine Lovers Tour”  #LIWC21410

Celebration: Valentines Day

Details: (3) Three North Fork wineries, gourmet restaurant lunch, Champagne and Chocolate tasting prior to departure.

 

 

The list of romantic things you can do, as a couple on Valentine's Day is endless. Traditionalist’s favor flowers and a reservation at a nice restaurant. But if you are looking for something really unique to do, join us for a wonderful day of delicious wine and cuisine in America’s Bordeaux. Imagine that only 90 miles from Manhattan, lies Long Island Wine Country, a World-Class wine-growing region with a microclimate almost identical to Bordeaux, France.  It is no surprise that Long Island Vintners are winning praise and gold medals for their Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc’s, to name a few great growing varietals.

 

Our “Wine Lovers” Tour will whisk you to Long Island Wine Country in a comfortable luxury motor coach with panoramic windows, onboard movies and restroom. Along the way, your expert tour guide will share some witty and attitude-free information about wines and the local region. Our exclusive Wine 101 educational course has been developed by the editor’s of Wine Country International® magazine.

 

Our expert staff personally selects three premium wine estates for every tour. Selections are based on quality of wine, exclusive activities that can be arranged and the overall quality experience that can be gained. 

 

A gourmet multi-course restaurant lunch at Long Island’s highly acclaimed Amano’s Osteria & Wine Bar. Amano means “by hand” in Italian. The restaurant was created in 2008 by Tom Schaudel and Adam Lovett. Tom is legendary in the Long Island culinary scene (and beyond) for the number of excellent restaurants.

 

We will enjoy a delicious 3-course gourmet lunch menu.
