Rosé season is still going strong and many of us are hoping the summer will stick around a little longer because we aren’t ready to give it up. {anyone else there with me? i’m raising my hand} Day two of our wine tasting weekend in Long Island, New York was filled with delicious rosés and we may or may not have brought a couple home with us.
Our second day was spent visiting delightful farmers markets, gorgeous sunflowers, great food, delicious wine, and thousands of honey bees… yes, honey bees. I fell in love with the boutique winery called Coffee Pot Cellars for three reasons- Beasley {the wineries mascot & cutest pug who welcomes you when you enter}, their fresh honey/honey beehive {who would have guessed you would go wine tasting & learn about bees}, and their Cyser {made from apples and honey- i’m already dreaming of sipping this while apple picking in the fall}. I didn’t love their wine, but the experience was worth visiting. We also visited Bedell Winery {my favorite New York winery- great ambiance and every wine was fantastic, specifically the blanc de blac and sparkling rosé} and Pugliese Vineyards {great live music, beautiful views, but not my favorite wine}.
Below are my overall suggestions, but check out our first day in Greenport to learn more about the other wineries:
Hotel:
Rent a home on HomeAway or AirBnB. We LOVED the location of the home we rented and would absolutely return. Downtown Greenport is absolutely where you want to stay!
Wineries:
– Bedell
– Coffee Pot Cellars
– Lieb
– McCall
– Sparkling Pointe
Eat:
– Aldo
– American Beach

– The Frisky Oyster
Coffee
– Aldo
Shop
The entire downtown is filled with incredible little shops with some of the most interesting people! You could spend a day going in and out of each one.

Oh so beautiful! Looks like a stunning day!
It was gorgeous!!
This place is so beautiful!
It really is! You must add it to your bucket list!
Beautiful photos! I hope to go wine tasting someday and to finally visit NY.
You must! it is so fun!
Lovely photos. Cheers to your future posts!
Thank you!! xox
So awesome that you got to the barn itself! It just puts a community feel to the wine — which is after all a community endeavor. Wine goes through a lot of ageing, with lots of people involved from picking to tasting. It’s only apt to see it this beautifully. :)
Completely agree!! I love learning about the process of wine making!
Beautiful photos indeed right there! Though I’m not into wines I can really appreciate its aroma. Its just so good to smell.
Thank you! And you are so right- the smell of wine is lovely :)
Wow! Everything about this place is stunning…………. I imagined New York to be busy but then who knew this place existed. Is it really an seperate island or it’s just called that? :)
Manhattan is an island and it really is crazy. I don’t think Long Island is an actual island but rather a long Peninsula. It is a “must do” if you make it out this way!
I love wine tasting. We had to taste several kinds of wine when we were preparing for our wedding. Not the lavish kind tho.
Me too! Big fan of wine tasting- lavish, simple, it’s all good :)
Your photos are beautiful!! The place looks amazing; I’m sure you had a good time visiting!! :)
Thank you! yes, it was lovely!
I have tried wine tasting before and it was great. Beautiful photos by the way.
Thank you! xox
The photos looks great! I have been to a wine tasting at a winery a few months ago and loved it. It’s so hard to chose the best wine to buy at the end as they are all delicious.
Haha there really were so many incredible tasting wines! We did have a few favorites though!
These are nice photos!!!
Thank you Maaya! xox
