Kontokosta Winery
Kontokosta Winery in Greenport is unique because it's on the beach. The vineyard is on a bluff overlooking the Long Island Sound and produces wines ranging from chardonnays to cabernets, showcasing the richness and variety of the region’s grapes.
Pindar Vineyards
At Pindar Vineyards, their award-winning wines are quite literally dreams come true. Founder Dr. Herodotus “Dan” Damianos helped create the winemaking industry on Long Island in the early 1980’s. And that dream has turned Pindar Vineyards into Long Island’s best-known wine producer.
Beer lovers find flavor on tap
While the North Fork is better known as a robust wine region full of award-winning vineyards, it is also home to dozens of craft breweries, cideries and distilleries offering beer and sipping options.
Pack a growler and head to Eastern Front Brewing Co. in Mattituck. This dog-friendly craft brewery was founded in 2015 and produces traditionally inspired brews!
Jamesport Farm Brewery offers farm-to-pint beer and cider made with ingredients grown on site using local hops, wheat, and barley. The 43-acreage farmland of Jamesport Farm Brewery was once a potato farm and is the perfect backdrop for parties and special events.

Food is truly farm-to-table
On Long Island, farm stands line the roads and make it easy to stop and savor in-season peaches, tomatoes, berries, apples and more. Some of the stands are situated on Suffolk County farms that let you pick your own produce. You’ll also find Long Island farm stands selling fresh produce in the many farmers markets in the area like the Greenport Farmers’ Market, the only multi-vendor cooperative local market on the North Fork.
The Bichoff’s like Sep’s Farm Stand in East Marion on the North Fork. They work with other local vendors to create one-stop farm-to-table grocery shopping! They also enjoy Sang Lee, a farmstand selling organic produce as well as items from local artisans and producers. “Sang Lee is very close to Peconic Landing,” Pat explained. “We like it because we can eat there or bring the food home.”
