North Fork Wine Tastings by the Water: 2 Scenic Options

Home ⇀ North Fork Wine Tastings by the Water: 2 Scenic Options

What’s better than enjoying a glass of wine by the waterfront? On the North Fork, many wineries are located within short driving distance from nearby bays, harbors and beaches. But there are very few that offer a true waterfront view from the vineyard.
If you want to plan a North Fork wine tour that includes beautiful water views, here are two great places to stop.

Kontokosta Winery

825 North Rd, Greenport, NY 11944

Kontokosta Winery is often referred to as the North Fork’s “first” waterfront wine-tasting room. Located in Greenpoint, the winery is perched on top of sweeping bluffs that overlook the Long Island Sound, providing a stunning view. From the tasting room, the view of the water is somewhat distant (but still an incredible sight). So you’ll need to take a short stroll down to get an up-close view. Kontokosta allows guests to take their wine down to the meadow and bluff.
Note, Kontokosta has some restrictions on buses and vans on its property, so be sure to check the rules before you go and consider a smaller vehicle for your tour (such as a sedan or SUV).

Old Field Vineyards

59600 NY-25, Southold, NY 11971

The property at Old Field Vineyards extends down to the Peconic Bay, allowing guests to enjoy their wine with a fantastic waterfront friend. In fact, Old Field offers a dedicated schedule for its “Tastings by the Bay.” This includes special seating by the water for a 1.5-hour time slot, plus a flight of Old Field’s most popular wines.
