Long Island Wine Country.com is the premier online magazine and expert tour operator, dedicated to the wines, foods and locale of Long Island's bucolic east end wine region. As area experts, our editors review the latest wines, interview winemakers and keep up on the new trends and attractions. All tours are hosted by an editor who will be your personal escort, providing "inside information" and wine education. And because we have a close working relationship with the area wineries and restaurants, our tour groups receive special benefits/extras not available to the public.

It is our primary goal to provide your group with a fun-filled and educational day of wine tasting, touring and gourmet food. This will be done safely and comfortably. We provide round trip transportation for groups of any size with a fleet of modern luxury Motor Coaches, Limousine Buses, Limousine Vans and Stretch Limousines.

Our typical tours start in the morning and include a gourmet lunch at a vineyard or winery. Afternoon departures may also be arranged with dinners catered at a winery.

Did you know that world-class wines are now being made only 90 miles east of Manhattan in pastoral eastern Long Island? With a terroir and microclimate that closely resembles grape growing conditions in Bordeaux, there are now over 3000 acres of grapevines and over 25 wineries making delicious, varietal wines.

Now thanks to the editors of Long Island Wine Country.com, groups and organizations located within the New York Tri-state area have the opportunity to enjoy a professionally narrated, expert tour of Long Island's bucolic wine region. If you like wine, food and adventure, our "VIP Wine Country Tour " is guaranteed to provide an educational and fun experience!

Many of our coaches have VHS or DVD players on board for viewing movies.

This fun-filled day includes visits to three prestigious wineries on the North or South Forks with educational tours, premium tastings and a delicious lunch. All the while, your host will share his insight about the region and offer tasting tips. You will have an opportunity to shop at each stop and the motor coach has ample storage for safely transporting wine.
