What to know before visiting LI's wineries
Three cheers for Long Island wineries. These days, there are so many wineries welcoming visitors to stop in for tastings and tours that figuring out where to go can be a challenge. Maybe you want to sit on a No';\rth Fork vineyard’s deck with a glass of wine and listen to a little live music. Or perhaps you’re gathering a big group of friends for an afternoon of serious wine tasting — but you want to bring your own picnic. And a dog. Or your kids. See what Long Island wineries offer this season.
