Winery Question
Hi!
I am driving my parents to the wineries this weekend. Im looking to hit 3-4 wineries, but I dont know how to figure out timing. Like how long do you stay at each winery for? I plan on having lunch at one of our stops.
Has anyone made up their own winery day tour? If so, any advice/ input would be great!

I wouldn't stick to a timeline. The whole point for me is to go out there and relax. I would pick 3 wineries that you're interested in going to. Start with the farthest out east and work your way back. Figure out where you want to have lunch and just wing it.
Also, some may be closed for private events (weddings).

All this! Stay as long or as short as you want. You'll know when you are there how long you want to spend in any specific place.

Winery Question
been to alot of wineries out east, and this past summer I discovered what I believe to be the two best ones!
1. Sparkling Pointe- All sparkling wines with CHOCOLATE pairings!!!!!!!!
2. Bedell Cellars- More traditional winery, but has alot of seating on a gorgeous deck. They have weddings there as well, so there's alot to take a look a
Also, you can't really time it out. Have like 3-4 places you want to visit, but take your time at each one. You may only end up going to 3, but as long as you make the first couple your "priority" ones, you'll be fine :)

Do you need to make reservations at each vineyard? My friends and I have rented a town car to drive us around and I keep reading on their website that we should make reservations, but I'm not sure if that's just a marketing ploy.

How much is the town car company charging you? Are you being picked up in LI? I was looking to do that as well, but the prices were crazy!

No need to make reservations at every winery. I've gone in a limo before and some have given us a hard time, but never turned us away. The only one that ever did was Martha Clara, they are complete a$$e$ when it comes to limos. I highly recommend Raphael. Beautiful winery and fantastic wines!

We are staying in Greenport. It's $65/hr with 5 hour minimum to be split by 4.
