    Wonderful venue for any small plate lunch celebration. We enjoyed a few delicious small plates Some excellent wine tastings. The Cabernet Franc is my new favorite. We took a bottle home. Our server Jess was exceptional. And - Macari is pet friendly. So we were able to enjoy my birthday lunch with my precious Sweet Princess Sadie! We will return!!

    Have given my wife a gift certificate for Macari Winery over a year and a half ago. They were able to honor it. This gave us a private wine experience tour with charcuterie board. We sampled a total of six wines, 2 sparking, "Horses" Sparkling Cabernet Franc, and "Cuvee Katherine" Sparkling Pinot Noir, and for wine, "Golden Yarrow" White Blend, Rose, Cabernet Franc and "Bergan Road" Red Blend. All were good, some better than others. We are still learning about tastings. First Kevin greeted us and gave us the first tasting, then gave us the tour of how the wine is made with the history of Macari and the grapes. Then we went to the basement which is a beautiful room with wine barrels, wine on display and stone walls. Very elegant, dim lighting with electric candles, (see pics) We sat with all the wine glasses in front of us with description for each under the glass. We has a differnert glass for each tasting. This is the proper way to experience wine tastings. For almost 2 hours we tasted wines and enjoyey the charcuterie board filled with chips, Brie & American Cheese, Bread, Fig Jam, Prosciutto and almonds. We have been to some wineries, and we found Macari Winery to be very upscale. They are pricing but definitely a great expereince and ambiance.

    First time here with my fiancé and family. We really enjoyed it! We agreed this is being added to our rotation! As far as tasting goes, we weren't able to do a tasting in the tasting room as we didn't have reservations. However, we were still able to enjoy wine outside from the wine truck. We really liked the wine we had! We ended up buying 4 bottles to bring home. They have a nice outdoor seating area. I do wish that all the tables had umbrellas, but we made due and we did end up snagging a table with an umbrella halfway through our stay. They have food offerings with lots of variety. We ended up sharing a personal pie that I believe was called The Sinclair. It had great flavor! This vineyard is also dog (and kid) friendly! We definitely had a great experience! Can't wait to return.

    I came here to celebrate one of my friends birthdays, and I think this place did a great job of accommodating the party size that she had. She was running late due to the traffic going up to Long Island and they still made sure she was able to have the whole experience that she booked for. We ended up doing our private wine tasting, and it came with a selection of food that included salad sandwiches different meats. And to me everything was definitely tasty. But also speaking to the grounds of the winery you can tell that the place is well kept. There was so many different places to take pictures. The outdoor seating was also a great touch just for you to enjoy a nice summary day. They also did have nonalcoholic options which I feel like was a great touch so people that don't drink and also enjoy in the experience as well. Lastly, they had an abundant amount of parking. But I would definitely say if you're looking for something different to do in New York I would suggest checking out this winery.

    We visited Macari for a wine tasting and pizza (their La Dolce Vita program). As there wasn't as much traffic, we arrived at the vineyard a little early, but the staff graciously cleared the tables to help us seat a little bit earlier in their beautiful patio area. There were three wines in the tasting menu and we got to choose one of three pizza options each. I was surprised at the variety of wines as we had an untraditional Chardonnay, a Syrah, and a red blend that was a little bit pricier. I usually like white wines better, and I enjoyed the Chardonnay as it was not as oaky as Chardonnay tends to be. Our server Olivia explained that it is taken out of the oak barrel to finish aging in a steel drum, so it was much lighter and crisp than my expectation of a Chardonnay. The Syrah was super fruity when we took a whiff, but the "white pepper" note permeated in the actual taste. Olivia told us that Macari had planted the grapes in sandy soil to mimic the terroir of places like Australia where it is popularly grown. The last wine we tried was the "Alexandra" red blend, which is a bit pricier because all four of the reds that make up this blend has to be produced in good quality and quantity for Macari to blend. They've only had five productions of it as a result, but I was shocked at how much I liked the Alexandra 2021. We had also mentioned that it was my friend's birthday that we were celebrating, and Olivia graciously brought out a sip of their sparkling wine, Cuvee Katherine, that was tinted with pinot noir into a delightful pink. I was so impressed with its crispy and juicy apple-y taste, I actually bought a bottle to take home! The thing that I felt was a little lacking was the pizza. I was excited to hear Olivia say that they were going to be fired up, but the dough is way too dry for the oven. Between the "original" and the "classic" which sounded very differently on paper, the only way I could tell the difference was that the classic Margherita had basil leaves on top. The pizza also didn't make sense as a pairing to the wines on the tasting menu. I wish more thought had gone into how the food lines up with the wines. The back lawn was open, with many enjoying the not-rainy occasionally sunny weather and lots of dogs walking around in the grass. We did take a little walk to the fields, though much of it was obviously fenced off. Overall, I had a lovely time at Macari Vineyards and would come back again to try their other wines!

    Easily our favorite winery we've been to on the North Fork. Macari has a really nice location with its large indoor seating area and huge porch. There is a little store area where you can buy bottles, cheese, and other goods. We have been here twice and became members! This gave us the perk of getting a first free pour so we were able to try more wines this time. The lady who helped us was very nice and remembered so much about us even though we haven't been there in over six months. We tried one of the Katherine's field wines and loved it. I first tried the Dos Aguas white and really liked it. The cab franc was also a really good option! We ordered a charcuterie board and weren't super pleased with it. It was mostly chips and had very little cheese or meat. Overall, Macari is great and the wines are even better.

    Great experience and worth the drive out from Great Neck! Ambiance: just lovely, super classy, pretty view of the farm. I noticed they have a private room for parties. Service: waiter was attentive and explained the history of the place, along with brief bios of each of the wines. Food: we got the pesto pizza (not pictured) and it was solid. Hummus was delicious. Olives were good! Drinks: husband loved his wine tasting and bought a bottle of red to take home. I got the Tost non-alcoholic ginger tea and it was great. Merchandise: they have a section of artisanal things for sale. The chocolate is really not worth it and I regret spending so much money on that. The pesto, spreads, and tapenades were great. Your table is reserved for 90 minutes, but we took our sweet time and were out in 50. FYI if you're not drinking, you can email them and they'll pre-charge you $20 instead of the usual $40.

    We had a 3 o'clock reservation and got there on time. It seemed a little hectic at first, but we settled in and were told right away there was no more Margherita pizzas left. We had pre-ordered a pizza and a charcuterie board to go with two seasonal wine tastings that consisted of five types of wine. I did not like the other two options of pizza, So they were able to reimburse me for that. I was glad, as I saw the Pizza going by and was not impressed. I've had the real Roberta's pizza fresh out of the oven. It doesn't look like it quite stands up to be frozen and reheated here. The charcuterie was good. The wine tasting was super interesting and we totally enjoyed that. We were seated inside and it was super noisy. It Was not a good vibe for us. We asked to be moved outside. We were told that the tastings were only done inside. However, when we had the last poor, we were able to gather everything up and move into the sunshine and enjoy a much nicer atmosphere. The staff was very accommodating.

    Beautiful vineyard with indoor, outdoor and enclosed patio seating. The main tasting room is sit down only with a variety of options to try. Friendly and informative staff.

    Macari Vineyard is always a favorite! We came here last year and had such a great experience that we had to visit again. One of the best things about this place is how dog-friendly they are. our dogs were even allowed indoors with us, which is a rare treat. This time, we were seated at the indoor terrace, where we enjoyed stunning panoramic views of the vineyard. The interior is beautifully designed, classy and elegant, yet cozy enough to feel completely at ease. Their wine selection is extensive, and everything we tried was great. The staff were not only super friendly and accommodating but also absolutely adored our dogs, which made us feel even more welcome. Macari Vineyard has the perfect mix of great wine, gorgeous views, and warm hospitality. It's always a memorable experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend for wine lovers and dog lovers alike!

    Ask the Community - Macari Vineyards

    Do I need a reservation to go or would I be able to make a last minute plan here?

    You don't need reservations

    Hi. Does Macari serve food? Thanks

    Yes, they have a menu with charcuterie type items.

    Kids friendly ? Any live music? Wine tasting allowed? Able to walk the vineyard during the covid pandemic? Outside food allowed?

    So this is more a a romantic adult spot, or dogs...not really for kids. No outside food or music. You can reserve in advance for a tasting or split a bottle, whatever you like and it comes with some yummy snacks. I'm not sure about walking around… 

    Are reservations required for the tasting room only? Can we enjoy a flight of wines without a reservation outside of the tasting room?

    Yes you can do a flight both inside or outside on their deck. Their staff is very accommodating.

    Bring your own food and snacks?

    Unfortunately most of the Vineyards on the North & South Fork no longer allow outside food/snack. Macari sells snacks.

They allow you to bring your own food if you wish to pair it with one of their offerings. You're welcomed to sit inside or on a nice sunny day take advantage of outside picnic table seating. They have beautiful outdoor blankets you can use if that North Fork breeze gives you a chill. We didn't need them yesterday as we drank our flights and dined on tuna and crackers. The young lady behind the counter was super sweet and knowledgeable. She let us know that their most popular, White Merlot bottles were sold out. But, still available in cans. I love their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. My Honey partial to reds, enjoys the Red Blend. He was excited when she informed us that they will soon have a Pinot Noir for him to try! The space, the excellent customer service and of course the wine all combine to make this a little slice of heaven. I absolutely love it here

    Really tasty wines that are, as they say, "approachable" (you won't have to sell a kidney for a…read morebottle.) The indoor tasting area is somewhat small and urban chic. This may not be the spot to go to in the winter. Though, if we were local, I could see us hanging out at the bar, watching a game and noshing on fare from the Little Oak Pizza Kitchen. The chow from the kitchen is fresh and tasty though some of it is a bit over priced but HEY! You're wine tasting out East! FUGGHEDABOUTIT! 5 gigantic shrimp for about $20. Tasty but maybe not worth $4/shrimp. Your best bet is to go with their pizzas which are pretty awesome. Juuuuuuust big enough for two (unless you're a total gavone, then you might need one just for yourself). We recommend the Buddy Boy which features sopresseta and hot honey. Jazz it up with additional spicy sausage. NOW you're eating! The outdoor tasting area is relaxed. There's a covered section that ensures you're out of the sun and any stray shower. Larger, Oktoberfest-style tables off to the side and clusters of Adirondack chairs under a stand of trees. No views of vines to speak of but you feel like you're visiting your rich friends' exceedingly well-landscaped backyard. A completely relaxing experience and, being just west of Jamesport proper, you don't spend your entire afternoon slogging to points further east. One of our favorite spots! Cheers!

    My second time here and again it didn't disappoint. I will travel near and far for the buddy pizza!…read moreThe right spice and the perfect sweetness! Our waitress (forgot her name) was a complete delight. The atmosphere is inviting and people were mostly dressed casual and neat.
