    Great vibes and music at this winery, they also sell beer. This is a large location with lots of parking and it was pretty crowded. People were playing games and others were just enjoying the grounds. Beautiful to take pics and the restrooms were very clean here

    If you're up for making your way out, waaaaaaay out, on the North Fork with the fam then this is one of the vineyards to go to. Perfect for big gatherings which is what we had. All the families that came together brought their own food whether it be a fruit platter, cookie trays, meat/cheese boards, etc. It was all allowed. In the tasting room, which is quite cute, you'll find an assortment of snacks and trinkets. We bought cases of wine for us to enjoy (responsibly of course, my husband was my DD) while we ran after the kids. There was an awesome duo playing music. We had an absolute blast, as it was amazing day weather wise. Make sure to hold your spot by making a reservation. Coming with a group of like 20 people, the case of wine is the way to go. My favorite was one of the rosés'. Don't ask me which one since people were just pouring me my glasses of wine and I was just accepting them.

    My boyfriend and family came here for a tasting. We purchased the Groupon which included a tasting for 4, plus 2 boars head cheese and meat snack platters and wheat thins. All of us agreed that the wine was not the best that we've had. My favorite though was the semi dry Riesling. Service was okay. We were greeted and then served. Nothing overly personal or interactive. There is seating inside and outside. It also appeared to be kid friendly. Of course not everyone is going to like every wine that they have and every vineyard they go to. Take a chance...your taste might be different than ours. You never know. One and done for this vineyard for us though.

    Visited this winery as the last stop apart of a day long tour and it was the perfect ending. Huge vineyard and lots of outside space. There was also a band playing live music. We tasted 4 wines and my favorite was the Riesling so I got a bottle to take home with me. I'd skip the sangria next time it was watered down. But don't skip the guac and chips! It was delicious and they live up to the hype of having the best guac on Long Island.

    My wife received a Groupon for her Birthday for Osprey Dominion so before it expired we went to the winery on a Wednesday afternoon. It was a beautiful day and we wanted to try their wines. Upon arrival we went up to bar and before we can say anything the gentleman said to us, you have a Groupon! And we said yes and he was somewhat curt and placed flight sheets on the bar with the so called meat and cheese platter with crackers, which consisted of a paper plate, a packet of meat and cheese and a small bag of wheat thins. No presentation what's so ever, like being in a fast food counter service. We choose the wines and took them with our platter to the outside tables. All the wines were good and we enjoyed all sitting outside on a beautiful day in beautiful outdoor setting. The winery was very nice, clean and all was up to date. All was good except for the platter, maybe a better presentation with some other crackers other than wheat thins and not in a small bag.

    I came here as part of a wine bus tour. It was my least favorite of the three wineries we visited. We felt like just a number here, as it wasn't a very personalized experience. An employee came on to our bus to welcome us but after that, we were pretty much on our own. We tasted four wines, which were served in plastic cups. Other than brief descriptions printed on a sheet on the serving tray, not much information was shared about the wines. You could purchase hot dogs here as well as "sangria," which was basically just a rose spritzer. We walked through the vineyards but they were not as picturesque as other spots. One nice touch was that there was a band playing live music. It's a decent place to visit and a nice outdoor option to get out of NYC but wouldn't be at the top of my list to return to.

    We always love to come to this vineyard and have a family day. They are kid friendly, allow picnicking and have great live music. Also this past weekend my son lost his expensive gold chain necklace and an awesome employee Dee Williams called me 15 minutes after I left to tell me he found it for us. He searched the vineyards looking for a needle in a haystack. Thank you for saving our fathers day!

    So this vineyard is really well laid out with so many different ways to enjoy their wine. It was pretty busy when we got their but plenty of parks available. We went inside to order our wines. They did have flights so we got red and white. A little disappointed they gave it to us plastic cups though. We started outside but they weather look unpredictable so we moved inside. Loved the wines. Great flavors but nothing jumped out. They only had snacks so no food this stop.

    I recently came to this winery with a large group. We came on a Saturday afternoon in June. The weather was nice out, so we sat in their outdoor seating section. This area was very large and had lots of tables, with umbrellas as well to block the sunlight. I enjoy a good tasting red wine, and this place has some amazing red wines. I tried a few of them out, and everyone was delicious. The rest of my group also enjoyed some of the white wines too that they ordered. We all had a blast hanging out here.

    I had such a fantastic experience at Ospreys! This vineyard is absolutely wonderful. So I came here with the Groupon deal which included 5 tastings, two souvenir glasses, cheese, crackers and meat platter. The woman who served us was so amazing. She even gave recommendations on some good farm stands nearby. The wines were really good! My favs ended up being the 2017 chardonnay and 2020 sauv blanc. The grounds are beautiful, spacious and well kept. Inside is very nice and cozy as well. I've seen some vineyards that look like dumps but this place is beautiful. I did not want to leave! The Groupon deal was really amazing for what we got and I was super happy with this place.

    Such a vibrant homey chill atmosphere. Staff where extremely friendly and helpful. Service was outstanding and very fast. Had a amazing time. The live music was amazing. Thank you to all the staff that had such polite and outstanding customer service. Thank you. My wine was delicious my favorite was Semi Dry Riesling. The guacamole and chips where good. Purchase a ice cream bar to cool myself down

    I like Ospreys! I always come here whenever I am on a wine tour. This is my third time coming here, so I figured it's about time I made a review. The first two times that I've came have been in the summer time where it's hot and we were outside at their picnic tables. However, this time it was different. It was the winter time (January 2023) and although it was a nice day, it's still was chilly so we sat inside. It was nice to experience the vineyard in the winter as well. Upon being seated by the hostess, we were given menus of the different wine selections, as well as a place mat that held spaces where the wine tasting cups would go. For the tastings you have the option to do three tastings for $12 or five tastings for $18. We did the five tastings. We also purchased a few additional bottles for the table. There's a menu that has all of the different wine selection and the prices by the bottle. All of the wines that I had tasted were pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine tasting experience and will definitely be back again for sure.

    Osprey's Dominion is a craft winery that opened in Peconic, New York in 1991. It was founded by friends Frederick "Bud" Koehler and Bill Tyree. Bud was one of the first vintners to settle on Long Island's North Fork. After retiring from a construction job in 1983, he purchased a 24-acre plot in Peconic. He dreamed of turning the land into a vineyard; at the time the North Fork only had three others. Today the area is home to more than 40 wineries and 3,000 acres of planted vineyards. Some of the grape varietals found in the area include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Franc. Bud named his winery "Osprey's Dominion" because the area was home to the brown and grey birds. He later purchased an additional 16 acres and teamed up with his friend Bill. After purchasing another 50 acres, a production facility was built on the grounds and their first wine was bottled in 1991. A farmhouse on the property was restored and converted into a tasting room. Bill passed away in 2012 and Bud would follow in 2021. Today the head winemaker is Adam Suprenant. My wife and I visited Osprey's Dominion in October 2018. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary on Long Island with a private limousine tour of the North Fork Wine Trail. Osprey's Dominion was our second stop of the day. The grounds were vast and beautiful! There was quite a crowd that day and we even spotted the North Fork Wine Wagon. Our tour group provided lunch for us: I had an Eggplant Wrap and my wife had a Greek Salad Wrap. We enjoyed our lunch with some wine flights: I sampled some reds and my wife sampled some whites. These were excellent wines! The tasting room was also impressive! We purchased bottles of the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Chardonnay, and the Spice Wine (which is meant to be served hot). We really enjoyed our experience at Osprey's Dominion and hope to return in the future!

    Unfortunately this is going to be long because I'm so disappointed…read more I was not expecting to be met with the level of hostility by the manager Julie. It's a shame because the grounds are beautiful, the staff that sat and served were very friendly. I was really looking forward to this visit. In email I was sent the menu, reservation policy, and a form to fill out with the option to pre order the mixed flight ($30 per person) or antipasto ahead of time. I had confirmed in written email that I had a group of 8 and I filled out the form for "number of guests at $30 per person" as 1. Everyone else in my group planned to order from the regular menu and do a couple of bottles for the table. When I arrived it was very disorganized and understaffed, with a big wait time to be seated and served. We were sitting for maybe a half hour before someone addressed us. When they did, they came out with 8 sets of the mixed flights! I said that I filled it out for 1 and that everyone else was ordering from the menu. So she went back to check with the manager, Julie. Before Julie even spoke I could feel a combative energy when approaching me. She said she "assumed" the 1 that I put for the mixed flight was "a typo" and couldn't respond to me as to why she didn't communicate the confusion. She said the group number applies to the number of flights. She said she can't just have everyone else "sitting around" and I assured her that everyone was getting something from the regular menu. She said that she never had a problem before and asked me if I even read the information that was sent to me. So basically if you do a group reservation, everyone is forced to do the mixed flight. Even if someone else wants the red flight which is not an option to pre order. She said we would need to order the mixed flights first to be able to order a bottle from the regular menu. No where did it say any of this ANYWHERE on this information sheet. I did in fact read it multiple times and had my group read it before making reservations. After going back and forth with me, she then says "you know what, do whatever you want to do so you can have a good day" very passive aggressively as if I offended her and walks away. Her tone was extremely condescending. My whole group was in shock and very uncomfortable. At this point we had been here for an hour and we were deciding what to do from here. The waitress came back and asked what we wanted to do and I said I wasn't sure because I am uncomfortable with how I was spoken to. She was very sweet and was understanding. She told us whatever we wanted to do if we wanted to stay, we can let her know what we want, which put us more at ease. I asked her for a couple of minutes and she said no problem just to grab her since she's all around. We couldn't find her after that and decided to leave. As a customer, I am appalled by the behavior of the manager. This was not professional or appropriate conduct. I feel for the staff who seem to be doing their best with the given situation.

We arrived a bit earlier than our noon reservation so we can set up before she arrived and they were ready for us. They already had a table selected and cleaned for us but we were told we can choose any other if we didn't like that one. In the end, we stuck with the one they had picked for us because it was shaded and isolated so we could enjoy a more "private" experience. We were told they have live music on weekends but there wasn't any that day so we ran to a nearby pharmacy to grab a portable speaker. The winery/grounds were very beautiful and well kept. It made more a nice stroll while sipping a glass of wine. Definitely make sure you walk with bug spray because the mosquitoes are nice and healthy! The service was friendly and welcoming. There were only 2 ladies working and there were a couple different groups while we were there. Wine: our entire group opted for the summer flight which included 4 different selections of wine for $30 (see photos for details). The unanimous choice of the 4 was the "NV firefly white blend". We all got bottles of this to go and it's what we heard most other guests purchasing to go as well. They also offer the option of a custom flight where you can select up to 4 wines of your choice, but they do not have a wide variety of options. Food: they do not allow outside food. They offer a light bite menu which is limited to a charcuterie board, cheese and crackers, cookies, and chips. We got the charcuterie board which was $48 and I would say not worth the price because there were barely any meats on there (see photos/videos). We also got the pita and hummus- the hummus was really good! We also got a bunch of north fork potato chips which were great and much better than the charcuterie board.

Peconic Cellar Door occupies the space that formerly housed Provisions and Ingredients and shoulders up to Winemaker Studio. It's a small space but seems airy. White dominates and custom made tables allow for various configurations; You can get a few bistro-like four tops or join them for one, longer communal table. There is, of course, a bar. It's very tidy. But where this place shines is with their wines and the interaction with the winemakers. This afternoon, we had the pleasure of chatting with Robin, co-owner of Peconic Cellar Door and winemaker of Salt Bird Cellars wines. As the actual wine-maker, she was able to give us a deeper appreciation of the entire process and of the wine itself. We also shot the breeze about craft beer, Australian hops, the "agri-culture" Down Under and the hideous traffic this time of year. Try getting THAT kind of interaction at one of the gigantic vineyards! What's also great is that, since they abut Winemaker Studio, you can really get a tremendous scope of Long Island wines in this one, tiny joint. Hang out, have some great wine and talk to the winemakers, then slip next door for even more tasty goodness. Stop by. You won't be disappointed.
