As summer heat fades away, wineries and vineyards on the North Fork keep the party going with live music through the fall.

“I love getting in a few more outdoor gigs in September and October before we head inside for the winter,” says Jeff LeBlanc, who grew up in Center Moriches and currently resides in Brookhaven hamlet.

LeBlanc is a full-time musician and has been playing for 15 years, touring the country as a performer and songwriter.

“For most of these gigs I’m setting up as a solo acoustic act,” he explains. “I play a mix of laid-back familiar covers with some obscure ones thrown in for the musicologists out there. I touch on pop, jazz, blues, rock and even a few old country songs," he says.

Guests can also hear original tunes by the singer.

“The winery scene is happening on a new level right now,” he says. “There are so many great performers who are all bringing something unique to the table.”

Another musician to catch this fall is Ronkonkoma native Erin Chase, who plays guitar while she sings. Winery visitors can expect mostly covers, but she has a few original songs that she'll play upon request.

“I know crowds love variety, so I aim to make sure everyone hears at least one or two songs they really connect with,” she says. “When I first started playing out here, only a handful offered it, so it’s been amazing to see how much the scene has grown."

Besides the vino tasting and the live music, Long Island's Wine Country draws visitors for fall fun and, of course, fall foliage.

“Autumn also brings pumpkin pickers, apple pickers and folks looking for those quintessential fall moments, and often, that leads them straight to the wineries,” Chase says. “It’s a great feeling to be part of a local community that draws people from all over the island.”
