Main tasting floor

Lauren seated and served us. She was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable! Our experience was excellent! Venue is beautiful!

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.

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.

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.

seasonal wine tasting
Paula L.

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!

I love the atmosphere and openness of the place when you first walk in. It was a Tuesday so we got seated very quickly. We started off with 3 tastings first. Then when we were done she poured the other two tastings. My husband and I shared the hummus and pita chips platter which was absolutely delicious, and yes I took the hummus home as it was huge portion and was very tasty. Only downside is that I felt it was a little pricey. Otherwise great wine, great service and even better company.

Katrina C.

We had a delightful experience at this vineyard. The service was prompt, and the views were breathtaking. The vineyard has panoramic vistas of lush grape vines. The price isn't bad either and the charcuterie board was delicious and a truly perfect match for their wide range of delicious wine!

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… Read more

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.

A favorite place of ours since last year. We're looking forward to spending another season here…read more This quaint establishment with beautiful decor and a pooch wall of fame, serves delicious wine and 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

We recieved the dry flight and the wines were pretty good. They have seating indoors and outdoors and I saw that they had some games outside as well. The seating outside also has umbrellas for shade. I loved the decor inside and definitely would go back.

To be honest, the location is gorgeous with large wooden benches indoors and opening up to a large field and stage area with seating for live music outside, all along a water front. But again, the pizza. With ingredients including house-made mozzarella, hot soppressata and Mikes Hot Honey, the oven fired pizzas made fresh to order are the star of the show. The unique brews on draft vary constantly and are sure to please whatever you palate is in the mood for. If you are on line for the bar, you can see the drink selections on the floor mounted menus while waiting to speed up your choices. Bar tenders are friendly and can help make selections according to your preferences. There is also plenty of parking. Side note, a wedding party was heading down from the second floor of the building when we visited, so if you are looking to host a party you may also want to inquire about options here taking into account the available views.

I brought my niece and nephew, and we easily had one of the funnest afternoons! The Barnyard Adventure is a paid area ($28.95 per person on weekends), but with eight acres packed full of things to do, it's worth every penny. To put the size in perspective ... it's like exploring six football fields lined up together! The highlights for the kids included getting up close with a variety of farm animals, a trike track, sports zone, and multiple playgrounds, pig races, a musical hayride ... there truly is something for all ages. The atmosphere is lively, especially with those pig races and musical hayride tours. My niece and nephew were totally engaged from start to finish. There are plenty of food stands throughout the property with the classic farm favorites. Apple cider donuts (my personal fav), popcorn, ice cream, and coffee stands for the grown-ups. Speaking of adults, a huge bonus is the vineyard right on the property. I treated myself to a glass of rosé to enjoy while the kids played, which was a nice addition. It does get busy, but the whole setup is well organized that it does not feel too crowded. Barnyard Adventure is one of those rare places that charms both kids and adults, making it a perfect fall or weekend family destination. I can't wait to come back next year for more memories (and donuts) with my niece and nephew!!

Loved this place for kids! I thought it would've been a bit pricey with nothing but honestly we…read morespent nearly 6 hours there. With access to leave and come back, which we loved, we enjoyed hayrides WITH a singalong! Animals, a lot of games, bounce pad and more. Everything was super clean and exactly what you think a farm should be hahahh. The workers were all sweet and kind. We did enjoy a cup of there chocolate chip cookie. Very good. You can bring in picnic food if you wish, but they had hot dogs and basics to purchase as well as a small farm stand in the front. I would highly recommend for families with children of various ages but more geared toward 10 and under. Cant wait to go back again this summer.
