Things To Do
Widows Hole Oyster Co
Go oyster shucking and learn all about the history of Long Island oysters! It's an experience unique to Long Island's North Fork and you'll get to meet the farmers and fishermen (and history: The house at Widow's Hole is 200 years old and was owned by the Chrysties—John Chrystie was a hero of the War of 1812) behind some of the most delicious oysters you'll ever have.
Kontokosta Winery
Removed from the oft-maddening traffic along the Wine Trail (and conveniently located close to the wedding venue), Kontokosta is the North Fork’s most sophisticated vineyard and is in a league of its own. Exclusive with a dramatic waterfront setting overlooking the bluffs of Long Island, Kontokosta is all about sustainability in the production of sauvignon blanc, viognier, riesling, merlot, and cabernet.
One Woman Wines & Vineyards
One Woman's Winery taproom offers a special chance to taste the fruit of Claudia Purita's hard work. This one-woman show, specifically a farm and vineyard in Southold, offers flights for $25 (regular: Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot) and $30 (reserve: Reserve Chardonnay, Roccia - a Bordeaux style blend, 2013 Reserve Merlot, and Dessert Grüner Veltliner) as well as wines by the glass and bottles.
Greenport Harbor Brewing Company
Greenport Harbor Brewing tasting room is located in an old firehouse, is the best place for casual drinks with friends.
