Long Island Wine Tour

As mentioned in an earlier post, I went to the North Fork of Long Island this past weekend for a wine tasting tour. Our group of 11 friends had a fantastic time but of course it was not without a little stress, excitement, and drunken shenanigans.

We got a great deal for the tour, their winter special is $75 for a group of 6 or more. The tour included limo transportation for the day, a stocked bar in the limo, tasting costs at all vineyards, and lunch in the middle of the day.


Pindar Winery (not the clearest picture but a very good cabernet franc)

We took a train from the city into Long Island and a 14-seat white surburban limo picked us up at the Ronkonkoma train station. Of course three of the 11 people missed their morning train so we had to wait an hour for them to catch up with us but luckily the limo was stocked with enough alcohol to keep us entertained while we waited.


also not the clearest picture but the only one of the group
After 3 wineries and a return trip to our favorite vineyard, the day ended with us back at Ronkonkoma station at 5:30 homeward bound. Everyone was exhausted but it was well worth waking up early on a Sunday morning.
