The fertile moraine soil and temperate climate of the North Fork of eastern Long Island NY make for good grape growing.

The presence of America's largest metropolitan area (New York City, the Long Island summer resort towns called The Hamptons, and the Connecticut Shoreline) provide an excellent market for North Fork vintages. Drive the 20 miles between the towns of Aquebogue and Southold and you'll pass nearly three dozen vineyards and wineries.

Ferryboats from New London CT take you to the North Fork in less than an hour and a half. More...
