by Taryn Lachter

It’s summer!

Time for Instagram-worthy adventures out in the sunshine with your favorite people, drinking a glass of beautiful wine, on a gorgeous property that’s straight out of a postcard.

Sound good? 

It’s summer! Time for Instagram-worthy adventures out in the sunshine with your favorite people, drinking a glass of beautiful wine, on a gorgeous property that’s straight out of a postcard.

Sound good? 

Come along on one of our sommelier-led day trips to New York’s wine country! You can choose from the Hudson Valley or the North Fork of Long Island (or both) for your adventure – you’ll get the same level of quality on both experiences! 

Ride in style on our charter with pickup and drop off from your front door, anywhere within the five boroughs or Nassau & Suffolk counties on Long Island. There’s no need to get up early as you can choose your departure time as well. 

Our certified sommelier will guide you through two of the area’s finest wineries where you’ll taste multiple offerings from each location. Your somm will go into incredible detail about what you’re drinking and you’ll have the opportunity to chat directly with the winemakers themselves about the behind-the-scenes details of their wines. And if you like the wines that much, you can buy them right there on the spot.

The trip will be all day (about 8-9 hours) so of course we’ve got some delicious locally-sourced lunch options available for you to enjoy. On the way home, you’ll have a chance to visit a lovely farmers market with incredible offerings from around the region to snack on during the ride back. 

This isn’t just a day trip to explore vineyards – it’s an opportunity to learn directly from experts about how to discover and taste wines! You’ll have an all-access pass to individuals with tons of knowledge about wine so you can ask all of your vino-related questions. 

Don’t miss out on this adventure of a lifetime. Book your day trip to Long Island or the Hudson Valley now!
