Peconic Bay Winery

I like it here. The ambiance is awesome. The back of the lawn is divided into sections. Each section has chairs and comfy couches for lounging on, (found the idea of lounging on a couch outside so exciting) space heaters in case you get chilly, and a fire pit! I loved that if you came with a group you could have your own little section. There was live music which was SO cool, and a crowd of various ages. The only thing I do not like, and this may have changed, but when I went, they only serve dry wine? Mehhh. It was OK, but needed a snack to go with it. That’s where the delicious cheese platter came in :) REALLY cool place to come to with friends.
Check the times… lately every time I pass by it is closed. Yet on their site they seem to have long hours, so not really sure why.

This place did not feel like a winery but instead a outside café. It felt like they were trying too hard. We did not learn anything about the wine barely but instead we were poured a tiny little bit to drink. This place was ok but if their not going to educate me on their wine process then I want to at least get a buzz on. Nope not with their pours. I would not recommend.

Wanna fun place to chill with a group of friends? Peconic Bay Winery is your go to party place.
We came here in February in the dead of winter to listen to my buddies band. The place is huge inside! We walked into the store and it was wall to wall people listening to some great jazz music.
We bought a cheese sampler and a bottle of their Chardonnay. Great wines in a beautiful setting, it doesn’t get any better!

I’m a wine club member here, so yes I do love it. From the very friendly attentive staff, to the wonderful selection of wines, to the usual happening scene, you cannot go wrong with spending an afternoon/​evening here. Really enjoyed the steel chardonnay the last time around. They usually have a great band setup too.
Also, the wine club membership is awesome. Discounted qines, free perks when you visit them, perks at Empire Cellars, discounts to events and of course the members only brunch wine pick up events.

Nice outdoor grounds but the wines are not as good as some of the other wineries in Long Island. Live music which is fun.

I’ll just keep this short and sweet. We showed up here at around ¾pm last Friday with our dog (not a problem at all). We took a seat at one of the picnic tables and my wife went inside to get us a tasting. Apparently she had to almost get a bullhorn and say HEY really loud to get one of the people working the bar to even notice her (NOTE: there were about 3 people at the bar). She brought the first two tastings back, and they were meh.
Ok, next round, I go back in to get the next two tastings – which were actually only one. So, I go up to the counter and tell the woman that we’re doing the tasting and that we’d like the next two tastings. Here is how the next dialogue went, almost word for word:
Rude woman: I don’t know what tasting you’re doing.
Me: Oh… um…we’re doing the six tasting.
Girl who helped my wife who was stocking stuff at the other end of the bar: Yeah, I helped them, they’re doing the six tasting.
Rudey McRuderson: (To the other girl) Oh, so what wines are next?
Semi-​nice girl: They actually get to choose them.
Rudey: Oh, ok. What wines would you like?
Me: Ok, ummm…(looking at the menu)…can we try the Riesling and…[she pours two tastings of the Riesling in the glasses we just used for the other wines]…
So, at this point, I’m over this place. The servers (at least this particular woman) were rude, the wines were not great, they reused the same glasses we had the other wines in (hey, I’m all for being green, but come on…), they didn’t seem to care at all, really. So yeah, done-​zo.
The ONLY saving grace, and the reason I give this place two stars as opposed to one is the nice woman who brought a bottle of water and a bowl out for our dog. Outside of that, there was not much going for this place.

this is worth 3.5 stars
if you are looking for a party-​4 stars.
my first time here (last year) this place was awesome and a blast. we had a nice buzz going, we sat and watched the cougars yell and make a scene, and there was a live band… this year, not as buzzed, still a live band, but a lot of trashy characters running around. it’s still a fun place though and a very up beat atmosphere.
don’t come here looking for the good wine though. only come here if you want to increase your buzz (which i usually do).

PARTY TIMEEEEEEEEE EXCELLLENTTTTTTTTT
If you are looking to party like its 1999, and we usually are, then this is the vineyard for you. Each and every time we come here, it is a party… resembles a frat party at an ivy league college/​2 year community school… i.e. it’s a mixed bag of clientele.
Good time, mediocre wine… but a must stop on any wine tour to GET WACKED AND PARTY to live music in the sun.
We go every time we come here.

I didn’t particularly care for much here — the sparkling wine and sparkling rose were middle of the pack wines. I wouldn’t put this on my must-​hit list of vineyards.

This is a great place to spend some time on a nice day. The grounds are gorgeous and there is usually live music on the weekends. As far as wine choices, my favorite is the Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine. The only downside is that they only allow you to purchase bottles «to go” — you can purchase only tastings or by the glass to enjoy on the grounds. The glass purchases were buy one, get one half off– so that pretty much evened it out. We were here this past weekend and once over the summer & enjoyed our visits both times. During the summer, we stopped in for my birthday on a very slow weekday & the staff gave me a little ice cream sandwich with a candle & sang happy birthday– that was pretty cool.

This place was a ton of fun on a summer day. They had a live band playing and a very eclectic crowd. While the lady inside the bar doing the tastings was somewhat «dry», once we got outside and at a table instead of the indoor tasting bar (advised to make reservations if possible), a fantastic manager Megan took very good care of us. If you like red wine, the «#2» was my pick of the day. Definitely looking forward to hitting this place up again. ;)

Really enjoyed this stop. Grounds are stunning. Every wine I drank in the tasting was better than the next. Free pretzels with an awesome Herlocher’s dipping honey mustard. It’s made in Pennsylvania. They sold me on it. I couldn’t stop going at it and had to pick up a jar for the road. I haven’t heard much about this place previously, but was very impressed. Will have to come back again as we got their late around 430 PM and were up against the closing bell.

We came here second on our wine tour on a dreadfully hot day. There weren’t any tables left except one with a broken umbrella. We sat and the wine and service were fine, the band was a great touch too. I think we just could have used a giant ice bucket.

This is one of my favorite vineyards on the North Fork. The barrel fermented Chardonnay is one of my favorite picks from this winemaker. The tasting room is always well staffed and visually appealing. Take the time to join the Wine Club, they have one of the best programs offered in the region. The events are always on point. Take the time to visit this Classic North Fork Experience!

I love this place. Went there twice this past weekend. Friday night they had a band, they had little fire pits going outside and you can bring your own food and just have a fun time. On Sunday, they also had a great band. The vibe here is really great if you hang outside. The tasting room is small, the wines are good, not great. The Nautique white was my favorite. The owner is very cool and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to have a fun, yet relaxing time.

On our mini wine tasting tour, we stopped in at Peconic Bay rather randomly. We were surprised to find it PACKED (the last winery we visited was rather quiet), but it was Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
There was live music and a whole host of people outside, packed into outdoor tables in a lovely garden atmosphere. They have a menu, so it’s understandable why it’s so packed — wine, food and a fabulous atmosphere.
We headed inside to the wine tasting area and found the last two stools. We had the Discovery wine tasting (6 wines), $ 12 apiece (I believe…). A very very nice, elderly gentleman served us — willing to bet he’s been there a loooong time. Personally I didn’t care for any of the wines — all were far too dry, no hint of sweetness. Not my thing. But the atmosphere might make it worth a return visit!

Great landscaping, some of the wine is decent, lovely time with friends.

After visiting this winery on the north fork, we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful atmosphere and live music — and somewhat pleasant wine.
Unfortunately, the attitude of the owner as well as the servers completely scratched the above positive feelings out and we will never be back. Service means something!

I love this place. I have gone on several occasions and every time its a blast. I went this past weekend and they had a great band playing called Mambo Loco. It was a complete party atmosphere. We brought our own food, but they do have food you can buy there. The wine is OK, but atmosphere more than makes up for it. The service is good too.

Good wines. Nice staff & always something fun going on. They give heavy pours… watch out you can get drunk quick if you’re not careful.
