Outstanding winery first and foremost. I made a reservation for midday a la carte wines and was a fantastic experience overall. Situated right on the water of Red Hook with a nice quiet scenic view of the sound. All flights we ordered were perfectly chilled and of course display cards informing patrons what each was. The staff was so courteous and just made us felt so relaxed. I was not aware they had a private parking lot so next time I’m definitely driving there. This winery is equivalent to most of the wineries out on eastern Long Island and North Fork without the extensive travel. Perfect day getaway for some slippage.

Outstanding place. We made a tasting and had four very good wines and two excellent wines. We got well-founded information. Perfect place for wine-lovers.

This location is absolutely gorgeous,right on the water and such a beautiful setting for a wine tasting. The staff was very lovely and welcoming, but unfortunately, no one explained what they were pouring at any point. I left not knowing anything about the wines or the winery itself, which was disappointing. The mixed wine flight also didn’t feel like a great showcase of what they offer, which I found surprising. The temperature of some of the wine felt off. The reservation process was also a bit disappointing. You’re required to pay a fee upfront ($20 per person), which is supposed to be credited toward your final bill. For our table of four, we paid $91 including taxes and fees, but at the end of the night, only $80 was deducted. It’s not a huge amount, but it felt odd to essentially pay $11 just for making a reservation in advance, whereas I could have walked in for free. Overall, a stunning location with friendly staff, but the experience itself left me wanting more transparency and education about the wine.
