You've got the breeze, the view, seating on the cliff or below at the beach, firepits, and with a cocktail in hand... I'm in heaven.

We stayed in a terrace king which made it super easy to access the pool and beach with kids. The bfast was simple - continental- but delicious. Great coffee, muffins, croissants, yogurt and granola, chia concoctions, and grab and go fruit - more than enough. The pool is saltwater and sooo refreshing. It never feels too busy- in fact it felt kind of empty. Soooo many families with young kids- staff was so good to them! Rooms were comfortable, simple and adequate for what we needed. One of my favorite amenities were all of the bonfire pits. We had a blast making smores and sipping wine by the fire as the night cooled. We will definitely be back and would recommend to all but especially families.

In one direction you have a cliff where you get to look down at the beach and water... then if you turn around you get to look back at the main house of the vineyard.

We were able to walk right up to the counter and try the different options of wine they offered. The staff was super helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. (They had spritz options also!)

They have a bunch of tables inside and on the deck. I love that they position a bunch of chairs to look out to the view and relax. They put picnic tables away from the building also. Tons of space and open areas to sit. They had a small menu for snacks. Very pricey but worth it for convenient since I'm pretty sure you couldn't bring your own. The wine was pretty good. I tried a flight but only was able to try some because the rest spilled. It was a very relaxing day. We had our 1 year old with us. They do not allow toys/balls for obviously reasons but there was so much space to move around it was great. Bathrooms were clean, a lot of parking. I would recommend a day here for sure.

John's dependable work-ethic from start to finish made this event come to life. Although we were not surprised, his attention to detail was flawless and it was heaven working with him.

The event was a magical evening and more than exceeded our expectations.

My wife spotted this rustic looking facility, so I turned in and immediately got a good feeling about it. The owner greeted us and made us feel entirely welcome. We sat down and looked at the tasting choices and had a fairly easy time filling up our dance card with 5 selections. We had the place to ourselves at first, and spent time getting to know Perry, a woman whose family has owned the operation since 1974. She said most of the buildings date back from the mid 1859s. Entertainment was also provided by 20 chickens (17 hens and 3 roosters). The wines were wonderful and lovingly explained by Perry. We left with a red and a white, and a feeling that this had been a very special hour.

We were deciding between a few caterers and had a tasting with the Perry's that just sealed the deal. My (now) husband and I walked out of there saying it felt like we just had lunch with our aunt & uncle, it felt like we had known them that long!

We devoured every little last bite at that tasting.. Nothing went to waste! John was so helpful with everything leading up to the day of as well, from picking out rentals, to working out our timeline. We decided to have a different format (cocktail stations as opposed to a formal sit-down dinner) and working together, John helped us make sure we'd have a smooth flow and that everything would go off without a hitch. As we were working out the details with the rentals, I never felt like he was pushing me one way or the other -- even when he put together the list of kitchen items they'd need (my venue did not provide any set-up), I knew he was being careful about not over-ordering. I really felt like he had my best interests in mind at all times. Having him to coordinate all the details made me feel at ease.. I knew I was in good hands! On our actual wedding day, we were so well taken care of. The staff made sure we were eating (haha, doesn't always happen at weddings!) and everything ran so smoothly. Later in the evening, a very traumatic family emergency happened during the reception that put a frightening pause on the celebration. John was a rock and I really felt like I looked to him for the "What now?" John & Nikki were different from some of our other vendors with whom we'll probably not be in touch again. I feel like we'll be sending John & Nikki Christmas cards for years to come.. :) They embraced us and made us feel like family, and I'm certain they will you too.

We had booked a couples getaway package, so there was a bottle of wine, fancy chocolate, and a $35 Southold General gift certificate waiting for us in our room. The king bed was extremely comfortable and I slept well, even though the bedroom and living room were only separated by a black out curtain. The continental breakfast (from 8-10am) had delicious pastries (also I think from Southold General), cereal, yogurt and fruit, juices, coffee, and tea. The friendly staff also made complimentary lattes, cappuccinos, or espresso, and were quick to clean up and ask if they could get us anything else. The bar and lounge area had a lovely view of the water and I spent a morning reading and enjoying the view. We didn't have a chance to use the fire pit or sit out on the adirondacks to watch the boats, but maybe next time. Overall, I'd highly recommend!
