Long Island Luxury Wine Tasting Private Experience
Got wine? We do! Well actually we have a luxury wine tasting experience in Long Island – which by the way – is a true mecca for wine lovers. Yes, indeed it is – and that is all thanks to the over 60 wineries in the North Fork of Long Island, just a mere 80 miles east of New York City. Now you can experience some of these delicious local wines on a day filled with wine tasting and touring this scenic area featuring rolling hills, fresh air and untouched forests.
Your experience starts with a ride in a luxury vehicle with a professional driver – either an SUV or sprinter depending on your party size. Along the way your private tour guide will point out famous landmarks and answer any questions you may have. Upon arrival you’ll get exclusive access to some of the region’s top wineries. At each venue you’ll get to tour the vineyards and – of course – you’ll also get to participate in a wine tasting where you’ll sample up to four different wines. Bonus – your guide – who is also an enthusiastic wine expert – will also educate you on all of the ins and outs of the various wines so that you can impress your friends with your newfound knowledge of grapes! Before heading back to the Big Apple you’ll stop at a local Farmers Market (time permitting) where you can purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables if you’d like – finishing this adventure with mouthwatering fresh produce to enjoy along with any wine you may have purchased.
Note: All guests must be 21 years of age and be able to present valid ID.
