Package suggestions may include all Premium ++ options or at least one 'over the top' option and a 2nd standard premium. Other suggestions may include various type of wine tours of a vineyard, specialty seating and tastings with lunch, or a private suite for just your group. A

Some of the Ultimate wine options is the all new Wolffer Estate Estate and Premier Tastings coupled with Lite Bites for groups up to 18 Guests, as well as their Family Style Luncheon and Formal Lunch with wine tastings as well. Macari has removed the Bergen Road Bungalows and has their Private Suite for Brunch or Lunch options as well as unadvertised Chefs multi-course Lunch and Dinner options. Sparkling Pointe is offering their Private group tasting couple with Brunch or Artisanal Pairings again, but with a min of 10 guests up to 30 Guests. We are developing packages and other unadvertised options as we move forward into mid Spring 2024.

Both Castello di Borghese and Sannino Vineyards offer very comprehensive and fun wine tours of their respective wineries, with Anthony Sannino recognized by various NYS Awards as well as nationwide Top 10 contests by USA Today and Trip Advisor for best wine tours of his winery.  One will come away with a wealth of information to continue your thirst of wine knowledge. We offer our own Option, a Food and Wine Pairing at Mattebella Vineyard, a very unique winery.

In the recent past, East End Wine Tasting Tours offered Twin Forks wine tour including Wolffer Estate, a one way ride on (2) Ferries to/ from Shelter Island, with the option of stopping for lunch the Island and then continuing onto Bedell Cellars and McCall Winery on the North Fork. This wine tour option was offered based on 2014 Wine Spectator's article on the "Long Island's Rising Tide".  The focus wineries as mentioned was Wolffer Estate, Bedell Cellars and McCall Wines. Bedell Cellars has become a "walk in" only winery with no reservations permitted, making it difficult to coordinate the other (2) wineries.  A couple years prior to the pandemic, there had been increasing challenges due to logistics timing and the fact that the Wineries have been insistent with punctual wine tasting reservation time slots. This policy coupled with ferry service and traffic patterns between the North and South Forks can be a challenge. We tend to keep the groups under (7) people and have been replacing or changing the "Lunch or Food" Stops in order to adhere to winery policy. So, we are always being creative and changing up these Premium tours to also include other wineries that may have some more flexibility as well as incorporating more time in between, especially on weekends.

These Type of Wineries are always changing in Options and Pricing. Please email us or call for pricing.
