What's New on Shelter Island and Long Island's North Fork This Summer

"Peconic Bay Vineyards reopened in May 2021 after an eight-year closure under new ownership with a cottage-esque tasting room and outdoor patio with fire pits overlooking its 148 acres of vines. One of the oldest (and largest) operating vineyards on the North Fork, the property offers tours, oyster happy hours on Fridays (when in season), and private picnics among the vines. Overnight stays in their red farmhouse, built in 1892, with private tastings and brunch are available. And a new tasting room with a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, hotel, spa, and additional acres of vineyard are in the works."
