Long Island Wineries on NorthCork

One of if not the best tasting room on Long Island. Very good quality wine , at a reasonable price. Has world class potential!!

Wine is very poor , and atmosphere is just ok. There are much better places on the North Fork. Try Bedell or Macari.

I have been to many of the Vineyards on Long Island. This is a must stop on your wine tour. It is a very small place and not on the very fancy side but the wine speaks for it's self.....

Took the barrel tasting tour of Pindar this weekend. What a surprise to have the owner take the time out to do the tour. His knowledge and passion for wine making made it a special day for our group. Great opportunity to taste the wine in the making and the finished product. Thanks again Dr. Dan

My date just emailed me with her review of our weekend at Shinn. I just wanted to chime in and say that this place really rocks!

I spent the weekend at Shinn Estate Farmhouse and Vineyard and had a glorious time. David's breakfasts, Barbara's vineyard, Anthony's wines - all divine. I will be going back often and sending all of my friends and family.

Macari Vineyard hands down, is the best winery on the North Fork of Long Island! I've been to nearly all of the wineries on the North Fork and I have found Macari's staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which added to the wonderful experience. Their wines were remarkable, and their best red on the tasting menu, Bergen Road, is worth more than the cost. Their Early Wine is light, fruity, crisp and FUN! If you haven't been to Macari. GO! it's well worth it.

Probably the best wines and the great outdoor deck. The pictures on this site are old, a dozen or so wooden patio tables and chairs overlook the vineyard, as well as a 2nd floor deck making for great picture taking. Staff was great as well.

After all the hoopla we heard about the Borghese's being related to last year's "Bachelor" (on TV) we wanted to make a special stop at this vineyard. What a pleasant surprise and definitely worth a stop along the "North Fork Wine Trail". Great wine! Professional, courtious staff. We sat outside sipping wine, overlooking the vines. Their calendar was packed full with art shows and food/wine pairing etc! We didnt get to do the Winemakers Walk with Ann Marie Borghese, but we hear it's very informative and quite intriguing.

This past weekend was my first time to the North Fork Vineyards and since Shinn Estate got the best reviews with great pictures on their website, I decided to check it out. As soon as we walked in, we were treated with a very cold welcome, almost like we were disturbing them! This site might be a review for wine quality but when you're treated with rudeness, unfriendliness and a very bad attitude, it doesn't set anybody up for wine tasting! And unfortunately, this is what we received at this "Almost" 5 star rating vineyard. We decided to try another one- Laurel Lake Vineyard. Our experience was the opposite- even though it was simple, the staff was very friendly, informative and very welcoming. It was a very enjoyable experience for both of us there.
