Any good vineyards on the South Fork?
We are going to the Hamptons next week and DH mentioned he would be "willing" to go to a vineyard for me. Most of them are on the North Folk.
Are they any good one on the South Fork?

Re: Any good vineyards on the South Fork?
Duck walk is on the south fork (I believe there are only three - the other two are Channing daughters winery and Wolfer estates)- but if you are going to be out in the hamptons for a few days - you could do a nice day - and take the ferry to shelter island and the north fork - my parents used to do that with me when I was little and we had a good time. There are many more on the north fork - if you do the ferry or drive - try - Paumonauk, Palmer, Pindar, Duck walk (they have one on the north fork too). We love to go out there for the day. If you do go over to the north fork - I used to go to the seafood barge (south hold - port of egypt) with my parents when I was little and DH and I have gone when we do a day or wine tasting - it is on the port so there is a nice view.

Channing Daughters, Wolffer, and Duck Walk (although I'm not a big fan of their wines). There are a lot right outside of Riverhead so it would kinda be on your way out or back if that's an option.

Re: Any good vineyards on the South Fork?
If your DH is like mine and is only willing to go for your sake, I would recommend Wolfer. It's right in Bridgehampton and is one of the nicest wineries anywhere on the East end. Buy a couple of bottles of their Reserve Chardonnay while you're there - it's yummy and cheaper there than at the liquor store

I don't think we will have time to go all the way to the North Fork. But maybe on another trip. Thanks for the tip on the ferry.

I think you understood the situation with DH. DH does not like wine so it would be for me. Chardonnay is a great wine for me. I do want a good wine though
Thanks!

There is a nice terrace off the back of Wolfer winery and you can bring your own snacks to enjoy out there. The Reserve Chardonnay is $18-$20, not too cheap. The Estate is even better at around $30. Don't bother with the La Ferme Martin Chardonnay - that's more of a table wine.

Re: Any good vineyards on the South Fork?
We love Wolfer. They have a beautiful sitting area outside, but they do lots of weddings in September/October. Make sure you call them before you go so it's not closed.

We are going to the Hamptons next week during the workweek.
I will contact them.
Thanks!

You can definitely do it anytime- when DH and I and friends have done it in the past - we did it as a day trip out there - and drove back out here at night - we didn't stay over so it is definitely doable as a 1 day trip.

I've only been to Duck Walk and I thought the wines were good. I especially liked the blueberry port.
