Our “Spring Day” Tour will explore Long Island Wine Country’s North Fork. We will visit three distinctively different luxury wine estates on the North Fork, giving all attendees a great cross section of wine styles available on Long Island. This tour happens on the first day of spring, so why not treat your favorite wine lover to a wonderful day visiting Long Island Vineyards?

If you are looking for something really unique to do, join us for a unique 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 “Spring Day” 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 delicious winery lunch is included.

The schedule is paced to be comfortable, but timely. An artisan cheese course is served at the last winery prior to departure. Special-purchasing opportunities available at winery gift shops. Aspiring oenophiles will also have the opportunity to custom blend their own bottle of Bordeaux-style wine for an additional $45.

All attendees receive complimentary copies of the exclusive Wine Country International®.  Wine 101 Guide.
