Spring is here and even though it may not quite feel like it yet I am looking forward to warmer days filled with sunshine! I find the perfect treat for a glorious afternoon in the Spring and Summer is to take a ride out east to the end of Long Island to visit some of the wonderful wineries that dot the northfork. So many of the wineries have beautifully kept grounds, with tasting rooms, and picnic areas. I love to pack my picnic tote and spend the afternoon exploring the area with the many farmstands and to sample new wines. I have discovered many new local wines that I now seek out in the stores to keep in my house. I do have my favorites that I stop at every time I am out that way. These include Macari, Corey Creek, Bedell, Sannino Bella Vita and Duckwalk. And each time I there I make it a point to try and new one.

Perfect picnic: Fresh fruit, crusty bread, cheese, olives |

A crisp glass of bubbly at Sparkling Pointe |

There are many views of the grapes |

Martha Clara is a wonderful place to stop with a group as it has different areas to sit and eat, they often have live music, and some animals waiting to be fed out back! |

My personal favorite place to stop with my husband for a picnic, Corey Creek tasting room. Sitting under one of these big trees in the Adirondack Chairs it just wonderfully relaxing. |
