💡 Tips

The North Fork is more relaxed than the Hamptons, but vineyards get very busy on fall weekends. Book your tastings in advance.
Bring a cooler in your car to store fresh pies, vegetables, and local cheeses purchased from the numerous farm stands.
Driving along Route 25 provides direct access to most of the area's major vineyards and historic sites.
Visit the Village Green to see the Old House, one of the oldest surviving English-style houses in New York State.

Cutchogue is located on the North Fork of Long Island and is often called the sunniest village in New York State. The region is the hub of the island's wine industry, home to numerous award-winning vineyards offering tastings and tours. Unlike the bustling South Fork, Cutchogue gives a more rural, laid-back atmosphere with agricultural farms, farm stands, and a deep connection to the sea. The village has access to beautiful waters on both the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay. Fisherman Beach is a favorite spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the bay's tranquility and admire the maritime scenery. The shoreline is excellent for shell fishing and peaceful walks. History buffs should visit the Cutchogue Village Green, which features some of the region's oldest buildings, including the Old House built in 1649. Gastronomy in Cutchogue is heavily influenced by the "farm-to-table" movement, with local wines and freshly caught seafood dominating the menus. Access is via Route 25, which winds through easy on the eye vineyards. Cutchogue provides an authentic experience of Long Island life, where agriculture and the sea meet in harmony. It is a convenient destination for wine enthusiasts and epicureans.
