We had a fantastic time for my sister's bachelorette! We did a tasting on their beautiful, comfortable, and spacious tasting deck. We got 4 large wine pours and a charcuterie board to share. The staff were very generous- they even gave my sister an extra pour! We highly recommend this spot for large groups :) read more

Ev&Em Vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Laurel, New York

My husband and I decided to visit Evan and Vineyards during a recent staycation in Riverhead. We once saw it recommended on News 12 and figured we'd give it a try and we're certainly pleased that we did. It was fairly warm outside, so we chose to sit on the patio, which was beautiful, enclosed, and had heaters. We each enjoyed a tasting and each glass was more enjoyable than the last. We really loved the rosé and bought a bottle to take home. We did try some of the food which was also really delicious. All of this paired with excellence service guarantees that will be back soon. read more

Insured the East End wine country for a day trip. One of the stops was the EV&EM vineyard. The property was beautifully landscaped with a large porch area overlooking the vineyard. We did not have a reservation but walk ins are gladly accepted. Our party all ordered flights and each was a generous pour. We also ordered some chocolates to go with our wine on the recommendation of our server ( and it was an excellent choice). Our server was friendly and engaging and very knowledgeable about the wines ( and chocolate) ). There is inside seating along with a beautiful tasting room set in a very modern decor. The bottles of wine are reasonably priced and they have a good selection of reds and whites. Definitely put this vineyard on your tour stops. read more

Beautiful grounds and beautiful decor ... a lot went into making this vineyard a great getaway to enjoy their wines and snacks. Service was fantastic and they're very hospitable and want you to enjoy every minute you're there. I found the charcuterie very simple and the wine good. Fun place to go and there is also a rooftop deck that overlooks the vineyard. read more

Love Ev&Em. We are wine club members and love our monthly visits. There is an inside area that is beautiful with a fireplace, bar seats and a few regular seats. There is an upper patio area that is also very pleasant (just be careful on sunny days-there can be direct sunlight depending on where you sit). There is a lower patio area that is also nice. And they also have picnic tables. Although it doesn't really look kid friendly inside, they have been great when we bring our daughter with us. We have sat with her inside by the fireplace and outside on the lower patio. It wouldn't be my first stop with kids but its nice they are allowed to be there! The wine is good. I usually go with a flight- the classic flight is much better in my opinion over the ev&em2 flight. Their chardonnays are pretty interesting (in a good way)! The cheese platter is good. My one complaint is probably that I wish they had some other food options but I get why they keep it simple. With that being said, I usually go during the week when it isn't too crowded. I'm not sure what a weekend experience is like. read more

Focusing on the charcuterie due to the inconsistency: After looking at other review photos and seeing nearby tables, some appeared noticeably larger in portion size than what we were served. Ours felt more like a small plate: 7 pieces of cheddar, a small wedge of Brie, and maybe 6 flat crackers for a group of 4. I'm not sure if portion size depends on group size, but it should be consistent regardless of who orders it. The 2nd photo with the black board is a nearby table with double the amount of cheese. I understand that most wineries aren't overly generous with charcuterie, but for $35, it was disappointing to see others receive the same item in a larger portion. The menu lists no size differences. In some reviews, I see the portions more than double in size. As for the ambiance, that's a big part of what you're paying for. The outdoor grounds are nice, and the service was pleasant. The wine itself was very good, and our waiter was knowledgeable in describing the selections. The Gewurztraminer was uniquely balanced of sweet and dry. The interior is classy and inviting. I would have preferred to visited in the winter just for wine inside. read more

Ev&Em Vineyards - Charcuterie board for 4 - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Laurel, New York

My friends and I visited Ev & Em Vineyards for a wine tasting during our girls' weekend. The standout for me was the dry rose; I liked it so much that I bought a bottle to bring home. We also compared two chardonnays with two different flavor profiles, as suggested by our server, which everyone really loved. We were all able to talk about which flavors we preferred in either of the two wines and felt like sommeliers. The charcuterie board was a bit hit or miss, especially with the selection of meats. I personally enjoyed it, but some at my table didn't. We talked to the server, and they mentioned they were experimenting with different meats for the board. In summary, the wine was great, the views were beautiful, and the service was attentive and friendly. I'm eager to return in the future and see how Ev & Em Vineyards continues try the finalized charcuterie board! read more

Had a surprise bday wine tasting for my friend here & it was soooo peaceful. For around $54 per person, we ordered charcuterie & a four flight wine tasting. I'd definitely recommend that you bring/eat additional snacks as the charcuterie board was family style with a mini fig jam, a small amount of meats/crackers, & a surplus of cheese to share. My party thought we'd at least have one more board as there were ~11 people. Positively, the hostess assigned to our flights was pretty nice and knowledgeable. She was patient as we waited for the rest of our party and didn't rush us to leave or start. Also, they didn't try to upsell us with wines or additonal add-ons. No private area for our large party, but we were nicely situated on the covered patio. we could see the vineyards. There were no rolling hills or amazing landscapes, but decent. I'd recommend if you're in the area as few people came in & out with ample room on a Sunday. read more

Ev&Em former Laurel Lake. New owner, same location, same winemaker but upgraded and innovative. Service was excellent and the tasting patios, whether upstairs or on the first floor, are done with tasteful furniture. We didn't care for the railroad seatings on the first floor - too close to comfort, almost sharing your tasting experience with your neighbors. I can not comment too much on the wine as I only had the rosé 2021 and I was more consumed with the new façade, the clean air and gentle autumn sun and conversation with my neighbors that I totally missed the characteristics of the rosé. Which means - I must return to provide a verdict read more

We were recommended to visit Ev&Em by friends who live in the area. Having been to several vineyards in Long Island, this was by far a favorite. The staff went out of their way to explain the wines, environment, and history. We enjoyed how our flights were poured in separate, standard wine glasses, thus giving us the ability to truly get a taste for the wine. The ambiance both indoors and outdoors was exceptional. The stainless steel chardonnay was our favorite, and we bought two bottles to bring home to Connecticut. We can't wait to go back during our next trip. read more

I love this place. Service was great, seated right away. I love the atmosphere of it all. Beautiful grounds, very spacious and clean. The wine was great too! My husband and I shared our tastings. We did the classic and the EV&EM wine. We also shared the hummus plate with pita bread which was perfect just for picking. I would definitely come back here and probably just get a full glass of wine as I know what I enjoy now. It was also a Sunday and there was live music. Singer had a beautiful voice and definitely pertained to the atmosphere and making the experience all the more enjoyable. We raved about the stainless steel Chardonnay and he ended up giving us another tasting free of charge to compare the fermented one to the stainless steel. Exceptional service and totally unexpected. Highly recommend. read more

This was the second stop of a winery trip we went on for a Saturday afternoon. Upon arrival, our group sat in one of the nice couches and chairs sections in the front. We fit a party of 6 their comfortably. Like we usually do at wineries, we ordered a bottle of both white and red wine and split them. This place also has delicious tasting wine. I enjoyed both very much. For me personally, I liked the red one a bit more. But overall, this was a great place to hang out at and drink. read more

No view (unless you're on the lawn with the kids), no air circulation (prepare to sweat), and zero acoustics (prepare to yell). Oh, and nonstop thumping bass. Thank god the wine is decent -- you're definitely gonna need it. read more

Great new winery on the North Fork! The Sauv Blanc was unique and the Cab Sauv very good. The owners have a line of wines dedicated to police officers killed in the line of duty and portions of the sale go to families of those officers. Must try (used to be Laurel Lake but lots of nice changes!) read more

Despite an umcomfortable situation with our server (I felt she judged by my appearence and was very unpleasent) I have to give this place 5 stars. I was quickly told by who I think was one of the owners is that it was the woman's first day on the job. The winery is absolutely stunning inside and out. It is extremely dog friendly which I love amd the rest of the staff is friendly and very pleasant. The only thing I wish was different is being able to just grab a glass of wine at the bar and pick a seat as opposed to being let to a seat amd having to wait for a server. read more

Amazing! Our first time here and I was blown away! Our server, Alexis, was so attentive and gave us the backstory on each wine in our tasting -- I learned so much I never knew about wine. We each did one tasting flight and the charcuterie plate. Then we got a bottle of rose! The wines are delicious and the upstairs patio has gorgeous views! We definitely got our sun in. Absolutely recommend to anyone for a great time! Plan to hang out for a casual leisurely time. read more

A group of us had a nice wine tasting experience on the deck. Surprisingly good wines for Long Island.

My girlfriend and I went to Ev & Em Vineyards for my birthday. As a special surprise, my girlfriend booked the barrel room experience where we got a tour of the vineyard, a flight of wine, and a charcuterie board. The wine in our flight was delicious, the favorite being the stainless steel chardonnay, and the barrel room was the perfect environment for tasting. Kristen, the general manager, was extremely kind and hospitable. After we finished our tasting and charcuterie spread (fresh and tasty), we went to the tasting room where we got another glass of wine. Kristen recommended their pinot noir. Probably the best wine I ever had. While drinking the pinot noir, I had a very nice conversation with Kristen, who was very informative and great to talk to. As it was the off season, we had the entire vineyard to ourselves. I'm looking forward to experiencing the busy season and intend on returning in the fall. This vineyard has the potential to being my favorite vineyard in the north fork. read more

Great food, ambiance. Service was a little slow but would still recommend compared to other near by places. And lastly had awesome picturesque views. read more

Really enjoyed this winery. We went for the first time and had made a group reservation. We did the classic flight. Our server was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the wine tasting and loved the individual charcuterie plates we got with it. The upstairs patio was really nice, great views and shaded, which helped with the heat and sun. They have some nice couches and seating area on the lower level. We walked around in the vineyard area as well. Beautiful vineyard. Definitely would come back! read more

Wow, what a stunning vineyard. So clean and beautifully designed. Love that they have a rooftop/deck and then a nice patio as well as a big dinning area. Loved their pinot gris. Felt like we were in another place with all the beach grass/pampas. Loved it! read more

I will leave an updated review when they get a little more settled in. The venue is nice and modern. I'm looking forward to their outdoor area when the weather is nicer. Their wines are ok. We really enjoyed the Gewurztraminer and the staff is friendly. read more

I went here with a few colleagues after work. I had heard this place wanted to be upscale, so I was concerned about the prices. The wine prices are average, but I also wanted to order food to accompany the wines. This place needs to check the competition! For $18 they offer a paper plate with a few slices of cheese and a few crackers. For a little more I can get a pizza to share at Jamesport Vineyards. And if I really want a meal, at 40-50 dollars, I can get a meal for two of full cheeses and a full baguette at Mattebella. Similar wines and prices. C'mon Ev & Em upgrade and impress us. I can go to 7-11 and get your cheese and crackers! Service was ok, no interaction. Just ok. I'm a local make me want to stop here as a special treat. read more

Very tasteful design and stunning outdoor seating looking onto the vineyard. The wines were excellent, we had a flight and enjoyed every one of them. Service was also excellent. We will be back may times I am sure! read more
