North Fork Wineries & Long Island Vineyards

With their fields of grapevines, North Fork Wine Country's wineries are lovely locations for any celebration, and are particularly romantic for weddings. If a vineyard wedding is your dream, there are some things that may help you before you start your search.

•	Size of the affair is often limited. Only a few can accommodate really large groups. If your guest list is small, you have more options.
•	Tents and portable sanitation are usually required. Only a few have indoor space sufficient for large groups of people.
•	Most wineries require that the wedding start after closing hours.
•	Be sure to call ahead to make an appointment. Some wineries have their own event planner on staff; others have personnel to show you around.

A narrow lane among acres of grapevines leads for over a quarter mile to an elegant house in the midst of gently sloping lawns and flowering plants.  At the edge of the back lawn is a white split rail fence framing a magnificent view of Long Island Sound.  Peconic Bay Winery owns both the vineyard and the house and now offers them for a private weekend wedding experience.  The fully furnished house is beautifully decorated for the wedding couple to keep to themselves as a bridal suite for the entire weekend.  The winery's wedding coordinator, Valerie Hallock, takes care of arranging for security, valet parking, tenting, dance floors, etc. and will help in the selection of all other services such as caterer, music, and photography and provides the day-of event services.  If they wish, the couple has the option of enjoying a "night before" clambake on the beach or poolside cocktail party with some of their closest friends.  This is a real Vineyard Wedding Experience made all the more perfect by its waterfront location and personal attention.  Wedding packages are available, so be sure to call Valerie for an appointment to view this lovely site and discuss your individual needs and options.
