Bedell makes wines sustainably and has a scenic outdoor tasting space. Their tasting flight was $25/$30, and we thought their wines were good but did not find one extraordinary enough to purchase a bottle of. Also, we did not have a great tasting experience either. This was the first Long Island winery we visited and we were hoping to learn about Long Island wines during our visit but the guy pouring our wine didn't really want to talk. We each got a flight, the pre-selected one and a build your own. Instead of pouring one wine at a time, the guy rushed pouring both flights, in no order, then got confused on which was which, then directed us to carry our four glasses (without a holder) outside so by the time we got outside we really had no clue which wines were which. They also didn't give us menus so we had to pull up both the menu and tasting notes on our phones to try and guess which wine we were tasting. However the scenic view outside overlooking the vineyard was pleasant.
Love Bedell as my 2nd go to for North Fork wines. They have killer whites. Pinot Grigios that have gotten 90 point reviews. Love all their whites. Cab Franc. Riesling's that are more and more popular. This is the best go place to pick up a few bottles of sure thing hits for summer nights and friends. Friendly cool people at the tasting bar. Last but not least just a gorgeous place with open airy outdoor tasting room overlooking there acres of beautiful vineyards.
Very nice winery/vineyard with very friendly staff. Wines are really good and reasonably priced. The patio area overlooks the vineyard and is a great relaxing spot.
The Quick: Love this vineyard so much that we joined the club (fantastic deal by the way, highly recommend looking into). Absolutely beautiful vineyard with ample outdoor seating. The wine is fantastic and so is the atmosphere and vibe. Classy yet inviting. No stuffiness here, but also no 21 year olds puking... Somewhere in between. The Details: The Cab Franc is the real star here, but I love doing tastings to try a little bit of everything. They sell bites on premises, and often bring in local oyster farmers that will shuck you a dozen to pair with your whites. Bedell has live music on occasion, and always seem to be highlighting local artists. Check their website for more details
We have been coming here for years. All year long every season. The wine is great. The experience is better. You can sit all day and drink, hear get music and even get something to eat. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable There are special events that you shouldn't miss too. Especially the tour. This is one of the best wineries on Long Island.
Made this place our second stop of the day recently after having an exceptional time at another winery. Sat under their tent which is a great place to retain heat and humidity if you're into that kind of experience. No wait staff and more shocking, no trays, so be prepared when you're grabbing a flight and cheese plate if you're with someone that you will have to walk back and forth 3 times just to start your experience there. Now in my opinion I didn't care for the wine but when you're bouncing around from place to place I don't expect to like them all. I could see other people were enjoying it and the view of the vineyard from the raised deck was very nice. Maybe some fans to move the air around on a humid day would have made the experience there a little better or at least some trays so I didn't have to walk back and forth a bunch of times
My husband and I have been members here for almost 10 years. At that time, we heavily researched vineyards to join. It has to satisfy a number of criteria: good wine, indoor and outdoor seating, good benefits and for guests as well, and that you could bring your own food. This hit the mark. We loved taking advantage of its offerings and with friends. My husband even arranged to have a milestone birthday party for me here in their upper loft area. Unfortunately a few years later, the north fork really boomed, prices went up, and they all stopped allowing outside food, which put a bit of a damper on how we enjoyed coming here. But it's all of them now, so we had to adapt. Sometimes we would come to pick up our wines and they were closed for an event. They became too popular. I think they are doing a bit better with handling events and large groups. We still want to feel like we are having a personal experience. We still feel that they are one of the better tasting wines out of the vineyard options.
Bedell is a must when visiting the Vineyards in Northfork. We love the hospitality from the stuff . The beautiful grounds and family friendly vineyard. We love all their wines from the Rosé to the red wines . Take it from the man behind the wine .... Richard Olsen Harbich who we were delighted to meet at the vineyard.
Our children gave us a gift certificate to Bedell Cellars for a tour, wine tasting and cheese sampling. We were not sure of the details but were not expecting such an elaborate experience we had. We made reservations for 12:00 PM on a Wednesday. When my wife I arrived we walked into the bar area, had a very nice warm welcome feeling to it with the bar on the left and to the right a staircase going to a loft where you can sit and have drinks and snacks. Jack our tour guide came out to greet us and poured us each a glass of their sparkling rose. We sipped it as Jack took us on a tour of the winery which lasted one hour. He explained the history and how the owner had started the winery and then built upon it. Also told us all about the grapes, the vines, the types of barrels and the process. Their 2009 Merlot was featured the 2013 Presidential Inauguration. He was detailed and interesting. He was a wealth knowledge and answered all our questions without hesitation. After the tour we were brought outside where there was a huge bar which is utilized during large events. We were seated at a reserved table overlooking the vineyard on a beautiful day. Jack then brought out a meat, cheese and nuts platter with Bruschetta Toasts. The platter was a very generous portion big enough for a full meal. Then the wine tasting began, We were given 6 more wines and sparkling wines to try, all white and rose because we told Jack we preferred white. Each one was served to us at long intervals so we can enjoy and savor the taste. We had the Viogner, Chardonnay, Taste White, Blanc De Blancs , Sparkle and the Taste Rose were given an explanation of each. At first we were the only ones there, then other people started coming in, however since we had the tour we were treated like VIPs. The entire event lasted over 3 hours and Jack our host was awesome, very polite, informative and accommodating. If you like to find more about wine and enjoy wine tasting I would highly recommend this tour at Bedell.
I have been an ongoing visitor Bedell Vineyards for many years. They are one of the very early growers of red wines on Long Island; they grow on many acres Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard originally began in 1980 and the self-taught winemaker Bedell, focused on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which at that time have become the region's dominant red grapes. Sometime in the year 2000, Michael Lynn had purchased the vineyard and expanded their acres of red wine vines. We recently visited the vineyard and we sat outside by their growing vines relaxing while enjoying a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc, which was by the way very good. The staff was providing a safe and much sanitized environment. This is one of my most visited vineyards whenever I am in the Long Island Wine region. Long Island wine does not savor similar to wine from California, Bordeaux, or Umbria or anywhere else except Long Island. The comparisons is what is missing, not Long Island wine.
One of my favorite wineries in the North Fork. I love their patio. Perfect view of the Vineyards and has the right amount of cover from sun on those warm days. I had the best bartender/server. Older man and super funny. He would have some thing to say about each winery I was tasting . I wish I remembered his name cu I would have mentioned him on here We happened to come on a day when they featured a lovely and awesome duet - Garrett and Tamara. They sang wonderful together along to the sweet sound of Garrett's guitar. If you happen to catch them here or one of the venues they perform at- then you will have a treat! We did not eat or snack on anything here but there are a few items for sale at the bar.
Sipping but a disappointing visit. Third time we've been here where the folks (especially inside) seem not to want to spend much time describing the wine. (Our experience outside has been better, but this day was over 90 with unreal humidity). This at a place that's significantly more expensive than most! If I had any interest in buying some wine today... or joining their club... I passed. It's such a pretty place, but can't say I'll be back soon.
Sunday, 7/26/2026 Gorgeous Sunny 75°F Cutchogue, NY As we enter the sprawling vineyard terrain one can easily surmise Bedell Cellars vision and reputation as one of the premier, highly polished locations for both wine tastings and elegant weddings on the North Fork. Located on the lush vineyard filled east end, this historic estate combines critically acclaimed certified sustainable winemaking with stunning architectural and natural backdrops. Their grapes are exquisite. The venue is the perfect place to savor and enjoy life, and get hitched too of course. Thank you! read more
I noticed in the parking lot they have electric car charging stations. I thought that was really cool. The inside is really small. There is technically three floors with the bottom floor, mid level floor, and a tiny third level with a couch. They had three flights to choose from. We did the most two popular choices, the Estate Flight and the Premium Flight. The wines were pretty good. I couldn't tell you what my favorite was but I enjoyed myself. Overall, would go back. read more

Tasting flights are 5 for $20 No entrance fee Parking available in the front (about 25-ish spots) Visitors are free to roam the premises There is seating upstairs (where you'll be able to look down into the wine barrel room), and eating out in the patio/deck area (where you'll be overlooking the vineyard area) People here are polite, friendly, and professional, and on a nice spring/summer day wine tasting is the ideal day time activity read more

This was by far my favorite winery in the area in terms of WINE. The view of the vineyards is stunning, as well. My husband and I had a reservation for 11:15am on a week day and had the entire deck area to ourselves for a good hour before others started showing up. The young man doing our tasting was fantastic - super knowledgable and friendly. He'd pour one at our table, then leave us alone for a while to enjoy it before coming back with the next. This was definitely a leisurely experience, not a "taste everything in 10 minutes" kind of deal. We ordered a small cheese plate, which was local and delicious. The wine here was incredible and the facilities were beautiful. It would be a beautiful location for a wedding. This is definitely not the type of place to go to with a big bus of people, or a bachelorette party. It was upscale and classy :) Perfect. read more
We came here as they were the wine of the 2013 inauguration. The wine all over the North Fork is not my favorite as I prefer the Napa wines. I liked the Sauvignon Blank here and they were offering a special on that. We had the spring tasting flight for $15. There was live music and comfortable seating on the grass looking at the vines. read more

Great wine, beautiful vineyard with lots of space to sit out and enjoy a sunny day! They were a little bit weird about giving us tap water when we asked, but they did give us some. No explanation for that, but again, the wine was great! Our group fave after trying a few was the Pinot Gris. Very nice staff! read more
Visit during Covid times. Socially distanced procedures in place, lot of open spaces and outdoor seating. Good wine selection. Hand sanitizer and other requirement in place. Reasons for 2 stars is due to lack of service in comparison to many other vineyards in the area. Order at counter, carry glasses of wine to your seat without a tray, multiple visits. To place more order get in line again and repeat. Limited snack selection. As for wine it was good. But one can get similar quality with above par service elsewhere in the area too. read more

Gorgeous outdoor room with live music on a July Saturday! Absolutely beautiful. Interesting wines and nice charcuterie selections. read more
Definitely one of my favorite vineyards on the north fork. Very scenic and many seating options: there is a small area to sit inside, a big overhang and a bunch of picnic tables so you can sit beside the vineyard. It gets mighty crowded during the summer especially on weekends but for good reason. This is definitely the best quality wine I've had on LI and the employees are very knowledgeable and friendly. The first crush white, merlot and sparkling rose were a few of my favorites. read more

After reading several Yelp reviews and with limited time to visit one or two wineries in the North Fork area on a Tuesday afternoon in August, I decided to come to Bedell Cellars for a $20 tasting. First of all, the setting is elegant, intimate, and "high-end". In other words, you may want to skip this place if you're coming in a large group (without reservations), dressed like you're going to the beach, or trying to visit during peak times (holidays/weekends). For the $20 tasting, you get to sample 5 wines (sparkling rose, viognier, blended white, merlot, and the taste red). The wines were OK, but most did not "wow" me with exceptional quality given the high prices (i.e. $35 to $75 per bottle). However, I did enjoy the 2015 viognier (which had a lovely balance and finish) and purchased 2 bottles right away. I appreciated that the server "comped" the $20 tasting fee. When I mentioned that I was also interested in buying local corn but had limited time, the server recommended a nearby roadstand (Krupski Farms) just down Route 25 - which was great. The only blemish from the tasting was that a glass of water was not provided to cleanse the palate between tastings (I had to ask for this). Also, the entrance sign for Bedell Cellars is difficult to see from the road, so you might pass it if you drive quickly on the far side of Route 25. Overall, if you seek a "high-end" winery in the North Fork, this is your place. However, be prepared for sticker shock if your idea of a good wine is "3 buck chuck" from Trader Joe's. read more

Wine - 2 stars Atmosphere - 4 stars Bedell is one of the few vineyards that allow outside food, which my girlfriends and I highly valued. There are about 7 picnic tables under some shade and about 7 more out in the open, by the vines themselves. The land is vast and beautiful. There's a convenient game of corn hole as well as a beautiful patch of lavender. The outdoor patio is also lovely, with high ceilings and hightop tables. The wine is definitely secondary to the space itself, as they were not very memorable or developed. Our favorites were the Cab Franc and Rose, though we barely finished splitting two tastings 5 ways. read more

Great winery with delicious wines and upscale atmosphere. There is a bar area indoors with three to four high top tables that can be reserved. There is a larger area upstairs but that's mainly for private groups in which reservations also need to be made. There's a large seating area outside with tons of tables and beautiful views of the vineyard. Wine is available as tastings, by the glass or the bottle. Great place to stop on your way through the wine trail read more

This place is a must when visiting the North Fork! I love the decor- it is super cozy and inviting! The wine is great and this vineyard is one of the more popular ones on Long Island. They sell by the glass or by the bottle and all the bottles are all nicely priced. Some of the bottles themselves are gorgeous too. Come visit! read more
What a beautiful winery out on Long Island. I loved the outdoor setting which provided a gorgeous view for a tasting and a couple of glasses of wine. I didn't particularly like all the wines I tried but I did like the Rose. It was refreshing and delicious. We also ordered some overpriced snacks while we enjoyed the afternoon. Overall worth the trip. read more
