Are you tired of giving Dad cologne, grooming devices or power tools every Father's Day? Why not treat him to a delicious day trip in Long Island Wine Country instead?  Personalized gift certificates are also offered!

Long Island Wine Country. COM is planning a special wine tasting tour on the Saturday before Father's day. We will whisk Dad and you from Manhattan, Nassau or Suffolk County in our luxury motor coach to the beautiful North Fork of Long Island. Along the way, our expert tour guide will provide his witty Wine 101 educational course and share inside information about the history of Long Island wine.

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 micro-climate 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 “Adventure in The Vines” 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. All attendees receive complimentary copies of the exclusive Wine Country International®.  Wine 101 Guide.

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 vineyard 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.
