Walk-ins are welcome at most wineries on the North Fork, but some locations recommend making reservations to guarantee seating. Some wineries have limits on group sizes for wine tastings, due to limited seating. Busier locations may also have time limits on reservations to ensure that all guests have time to enjoy their wine tastings.
If you’re visiting alone or with a small party, you can generally visit most North Fork wineries without a reservation. But if you’re planning a tour with a larger group of 6 or more, it’s a good idea to check with the winery to confirm if a reservation is needed for the time of day that you plan to visit.
