Central Long Island wineries to visit that don't require a trip to the East End
A day at the wineries doesn't mean you have to travel to the East End. Central Long Island has vineyards and wineries that offer tastings, tours and events. Some will even let you bring your dog along for the day.
Here are some spots west of Riverhead to visit this season:
