Really loved this small and intimate winery in the north fork area! We went here for the wine and I left with 2 bottles! The service was very friendly and they let me try extra samples which I loved. I really loved their white blend and sparkling wine. Also tried some of their cheese plate which was excellent! This was one of our fave spots on our winery trip and I'll be back. read more

My fiancé and I had a wonderful visit here! We did a wine flight and especially enjoyed the Riesling; it was crisp, refreshing, and definitely a standout. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed but still very special. The view from the tasting area is incredible, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy the moment. My future sister in law and future brother in law enjoyed their red wine. We had a great time and would happily return! read more

This is a gorgeous spot to hang out in the porch overlooking the picturesque vineyard and sip on and learn about wine. We had the blanc de blanc (sparkling, caramel?), Chardonnay that wasn't Oaked (resin? Lemon zest? maybe some butter), Sauvignon blanc (apricot, peach) and rose (cranberry?). read more

Absolutely loved this place ! They have an inside and outside section. Beautiful view of the vineyards. Relaxing. You order inside and take it outside. I believe I read that they had live music on the weekend. I didn't eat there but did have some cheese and crackers. We had An amazing time here.

First vineyard on my Long Island visit. We arrived right at opening and entered with ease. It is a beautiful space inside with a huge outside area. We were only staying for one drink so we stayed inside. I read online that the Chenin Blanc was their fan favorite at the winery. I really enjoyed it. A nice fruity wine white, it was exactly what I needed to start my wine adventure. I definitely want to come back to try more wines and grab another glass of the Chenin Blanc. read more

Didn't experience much ambiance as it was pretty empty. It was also a but weird that they had a whole hour left and was pretty much shut down, then the POS system went down so they didn't accept credit cards. The one person forgot one if the drinks in our party as well. The bees were aggressive outside so we had to move inside. The staff for the most part were nice but between shutting down everything an hour early and the lack of experience its hard to rate this place high. I would give it another shot..maybe I would have a better experience under different circumstances. read more

(2.5 stars but that's not an option) Such a cute casual place. A little odd when we walked in because there's no host stand and I wasn't sure if we were supposed to sit down ourselves or be seated. We had to order at the bar inside and $41 for a sandwich and a glass of wine is a little crazy. they gave us a number and told us we could sit on the lawn. We were not allowed to sit on the actual deck because they were "reserved. " For people who wanted to do flight tastings. There's at least eight empty tables. The food runners seem a bit lost because they have to look for a tiny silver plaque with a number on it, which is nearly impossible unless you're standing right next to the table, which makes it very awkward when they walk by you 72 times asking what number you have and if this is your food. The food is also served in a paper to go box which is kind of odd because for $41 I kind of expect, a plate. The owner is so sweet and we overheard him speaking to a group of people about his business. They seem to do a great job. It is definitely a great casual place.. We've also listened to the same three songs six times so if they could maybe pick a different station that would be great. We shared the Figgy Piggy and the prosciutto was over the top and not chopped or cut at all so we had to knock through it like a pack of wild animals. The bread was also not toasted so I felt like I was eating off of a sponge. It's honestly a very cute place, but they seem to be aiming for a casual vibe but the prices and the music are not matching that vibe. It seems like they are trying to be upscale yet serve their food to guest already in a to go container does not seem very welcoming. I always try places twice so I hope it is a better experience next time ! read more

Welcome to Long Island summer life! Hello my fellow Yelpers! As a long islander, this is my very first time visiting a family-owned vineyard. The experience was both enriching and entertaining as well. This beautiful property is surrounded by a couple of acres of land. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful views. Decent wine selection. The charcuterie board was a nice compliment with the wine. My advice is, be ready when it comes to sun exposure and heat. Other than that, it's a great place for groups and of course, for couples too. The staff and servers are knowledgeable about the wines they serve. read more

Paumanok - A lot of different wines just AMAZING - Wineries Near Me - Aquebogue, New York

Nice place to stop on the way. The wines were ok, nothing special. However, the desert wine was exceptional. It was a late harvest Savignon Blanc. Hence, the reason it won 2023.. the time was made so amazing by Amelia. She knew her stuff and was super friendly! The charcuterie board with the french butter was to die for. The only issue was it was so cold inside. Almost to the point that you couldn't enjoy yourself. But I will still recommend stopping by! read more

My favorite vineyard on Long Island! Came here on a September weekday with a reservation about 5 days prior. Be sure to make your reservation early bc they get filled fast especially on the nice days! The view here is just so beautiful and peaceful! We were sat at our own table. They had choices of wine flights, which not every vineyard has on Long Island. We got a couple of different flights and loved them all! What stood out about Paumanok is their food! Loved loved the bread and the charcuterie, it was just so soft and fresh, really tasted like it came right out the oven! Definitely try this vineyard if you are looking for one! read more

Wonderful afternoon at Paumanok Vineyards! Took advantage of the great weather to sit outdoors and enjoy two wine flights and their amazing charcuterie board.

Paumanok - Amazing staff, wine and views. - Wineries Near Me - Aquebogue, New York

Had a great summer wine lunch at Paumanok. We intended to try some flights, but instead settled on buying entire bottles to taste from and bring extra home (genius idea!). Hostess/server had good insight and recommendations, and the wines were good (chenin blanc hit the spot on a hot day, cab franc is a good example of an area specialty, and the festival red was a good pairing with pizza from Colasseo later in the day). Setting was beautiful and we walked among the vines as part of the experience. read more

Riesling.... Riesling... Riesling.. ok and maybe the occasional also winning Gewurztraminer.. and Sauvignon Blanc also good here... ... its still interesting. Here Riesling is the new Chardonnay, and Gewurztraminer the new Sauvignon Blanc... These other white wines are not boring and are IN.. in this magical wineland of the North Fork. They have award winning Rieslings... if getting a few to go.. make sure to try a few of the award winners.. the dry and the semi dry.... one less sweet.. try both styles ... not one. to compare Winery of the year a few times at the NY Wine classic... third time as of this review. Talent and flavor are here. read more

I was there today with my sister. The ambiance is so nice and relaxing. The wine tastings were generous. The menu offered many options. We ordered the charcuterie which was outstanding. The servicer was very knowledgable about the wines and was very attentive to us. I would totally recommend this vineyard. It was a beautiful afternoon visit to Paumanok vineyard :) read more

The wine is very good when comparing it to other North Fork wineries. They have a lovely view of the vineyards and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The 2020 dry Rosè was very nice and tasteful. WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A TASTE OF WINE They charge $5 for a taste of wine. It does not say anything about it on the menu and it is very misleading. Normally you ask for a sip before deciding what your are going to order. At no point in time did they make us aware that they charge for a sip. They were very defensive that no vinyard gives you a free taste and refused to take all the tastings off, but did their best to make amends. I honestly think that this place could improve on their communication. read more

This place appears to value price over customers, which is a shame because the grounds are beautiful. Nickel and dime is not the way to run a winery. No food allowed, which is perfectly understandable for some places, but a few crackers we had to reset our pallet between sips apparently is shunned as they hawk their high priced crackers in place. Started a bit on the wrong foot there, but didn't ruin our day. When the bill came we were quoted a bit higher on the tasting. I asked about it (as it wasn't a big deal but wanted to know what the difference was) and waitress stated it was because one of our wines we selected was different than what was on the $30/4 wine selection. After mentioning our original waitress said we could substitute as long as the price was similar she took off the $2, gave a half "you happy now" smile, almost slammed down the receipt to sign and abruptly walked off. All over $2 in which I never asked for a refund only mentioning what was stated to us so they know. On our way out, that same waitress walks by us (glances our way) and slams the door to the back. Perhaps a bad day, but very inexcusable and lost a customer for life. If management is pinching pennies then I can see why the staff is unhinged. read more

This is one of the best vineyards on Long Island! It's not only beautiful, but the people who run it, and the wines are the absolute best! The events here are also incredible! They really do such an awesome job making everyone who visits this winery, feel like family. We went for two different events and that's when we discovered this wonderful place. The first event was the 10 mile dinner with chef Tom Schaudel. My husband and I first found out about him at another event he did at Roanoke, (also an awesome winery)! We read his books and really liked him and his humor, but once we tasted his food we were definitely fans. The second event was Paumanok's 40th anniversary. It was a beautiful classy event that featured Long Island's chefs and their restaurants. We got to meet the owners of this winery as well and their families, which made us all realize why this is such an awesome place. The closeness and warmth they showed us all, made us not only fans of the winery, but now, also members. If you're in the area you should definitely check it out, but even if you're not, it's worth traveling to go to their awesome events! read more

A surprise stop yielded a very good surprise... Nice tasting wine in LI. Have to say, for the most part, their whites and reds are quite tasty. Nothing is very bold, yet their Chardonnay and Cab Franc + Sauvignon are highly rated for this sector of the world. The ambience is casual, bright, and pleasant. Back deck and grass area have abundant seating with rustic tables. Great 123 acre vineyard and lovely western sky giving you a great sunset ambiance. Service is very pleasant, although a bit slow... however, for a Friday, it was very busy. Plus, who wants to be rushed at a vineyard... "Not I". read more

Had a nice time celebrating a friend's birthday! I got the white tasting flight, and it was amazing. It was a super hot day as well, so the flight was very refreshing. I fell in love with their dry riesling and chenin blanc. Both were such a dream. They are also generous with their pours, and our whole party experienced a fun little buzz together. We also got two different cheeses, the brie and purple haze. The brie was different from other bries I've had in the past. It wasn't creamy, it was instead more crumbly. The texture threw me off a bit, but it was still tasty. The purple haze was very thick and rich, so I could only eat a little at a time. We also got some baguettes and crackers. The baguette was very hard on the outer edges and quite difficult to chew. I wish we had gotten a fresher product. You're allowed to walk up to the vineyards, but not into it. The outer deck makes for some very nice pictures as well! Just a beautiful place with great wine and a friendly staff! read more

Beautiful vineyard to hang out, enjoy wine, and charcuterie. Make sure to make reservations before going because they definitely do get packed. When you make the reservation online, you'll have to place a deposit which goes towards the bill at the end. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was already started to get packed. They have tables both on their patio and out in the field. There aren't many places to walk around and you can't wander too far into the vineyard but it's still nice enough to take photos. They offer wine flights but my friends and I opted to get bottles instead. The staff was friendly and helped with choosing wines that suited our tastes. We also ordered oysters and picked salami, pate, cheese, olives, and baguettes to make our own charcuterie. The oysters were okay. The pate is more chunky rather than creamy as I had expected. Make sure to get the baguettes which were toasted and warm, a perfect pair with the meats and cheeses! read more

Our second time visiting without receiving service. This time (similar to last time) we waited 15 minutes outside with no service. I went inside to order and was rudely told that the individual I was talking to was in training and couldn't take my order. She would be out "when she could get to me." After 15 minutes we left. There were four groups seated at the winery, so unclear what caused the delay. This behavior mirrors our last experience where we felt like they didn't want us there. read more

Beautiful winery and view, but customer service was disgusting. ** Dog friendly winery only on weekdays. Dogs are not allowed on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. I called a month in advance to make a reservation for two people and a dog and asked if they could make an exception to their no flight tasting on lawn area policy. I spoke with an employee and he ensured me that it shouldn't be a problem and they could accommodate us as long as we arrive early. He also added that since it is slow on Mondays, it shouldn't be an issue. I was instructed to email Paumanok to book my reservation and to include that an exception would be made for the flight tasting on the lawn. A second employee replied to my email and confirmed the special accommodation. Super understanding and nice. Fast forward to my reservation - Because it took me more than an hour to get a rental car (another story), I was late to my reservation. I called in to let them know that I will be 30 min late because I'm coming from Manhattan. I was on the phone with the tasting manager and she was absolutely the worst. I have explained to her that I had an awful and stressful morning getting a rental car, and currently rushing to the winery now. She was so rude and had no empathy. Her attitude was disgusting. To sum up my phone call with her, she pretty much told me it's my fault that I was late, the employee shouldn't have made the exception, and it would be unfair to others if exceptions were made. I was told my options were either leave my dog in the car for 30 min (it was a hot day) or choose another venue, period. Yes, I understand that I was late and you had rules, but it would've been nice to give me a call in advance. Her excuse was "I just came back from vacation and literally just saw the request". You mean you just saw the request because I called -_- Since I was on my way there already, I had no choice but to go. We ordered three glasses of wine and a salami / cheese board. The red was good but abnormally warm. On the other hand, the whites were cool. I told the server that the red could've been better if it was cooler. Her reason was because it was warm outside, but this doesn't make sense because the whites were cool. Now, I am questioning their wine storage and care for wine. The salami / cheese board was extremely dry. I'm not even joking -- driest cheese in my life. The bread was flaky and crusty, looked kind of moldy in the middle =/ The funniest part about this experience was that there was barely anyone at the winery. Let me be clear, this was on a Monday afternoon. At one point, I turned around and there was no one! NO ONE -_- If she was a good manager and cared for customer experience, she could've easily made an exception, like how they promised. I am giving an extra star because the winery was beautiful. Other than that, this place would've deserved 1 star. read more

Looking for a stunning vineyard on Long Island? A true vintner that is passionate about sharing their creation with the world? Someone that employs people that share their passion and want to impart that sentiment on every person that comes to visit? If this is the experience you are looking for, be sure to go elsewhere. The vineyard is a nice property, and the vintner May in fact be passionate about what they make, as the bottle we had was quite good. However, that regretfully was all overshadowed by the negative elitist attitude of the employees. We were first asked if we had a reservation, to which we answered, no. The response invoked a disapproving sneer. Upon inspection of the facility both indoors and outdoors, there could not have been more than a dozen patrons in total and at least double that in open seating. After some speculation and shuffling of papers, we were ungraciously afforded the the honor of being squeezed in. Our server Amelia was quite nice, however the experience has already been soured. If you have some sort of desire to be treated in a subservient manner, I do recommend the Vin Rose, however be sure to ask for it NOT to come in an ice bucket as we were refused a cup of ice due to it not being "sanitary for drinking". So your chilled bottle may be sitting in toilet water. Enjoy and be safe. read more

I travel around the world trying wine. I have a large group of friend and family that are into wine. Everyone I run into asks me which winery to try when they go to Long Island, I always recommend Paumanok. Going forward I will not. Per Paumanok's website they are open on Tuesday from 11 am to 5 pm. We arrived at 11 am to find out they don't open until noon and will close at 5 pm. So we decided we would come back later in the day. We arrived at 4 pm to be told they were closing. The manager had decided they were going to close early. We explained we had been there earlier. Did not matter, they were closing. The bartender was rude about it and would not allow us to speak to the manager. I can't recommend Paumonak to friends, family, and people I meet when they will have the same experience and there is so concern from the management and owners. read more

My husband and I have been coming to Paumanok for years and are wine club members. We have always had a fabulous experience, however, this weekend we went with our out of town guests and were treated poorly by the host. She was unfriendly and curt and we were embarrassed. Since we had wine to pick up, we returned the next day on our way back home and again, the same person was rude and seemed angry to have to get us our wine. We are thinking of canceling our membership because of this person. I believe she is the manager. We are so disappointed because it has always been one of our favorite wineries, but this woman sours the experience. read more

It has a nice deck overlooking pretty vineyards and it's a cool hang on a nice day but being a bit of a wine snob I wasn't overly impressed with her offering. I'm sure it's hard, but I just don't think the Northfork has really competitive wines. Not exactly inexpensive either. Sorry read more

My husband and I have been wine club members at Paumanok for years. We love the friendly staff and there delicious wines. They have a wonderful variety. I love them all differently. We enjoy going in the nice weather for the oysters and to sit on the deck. They are merged now with Palmer and there are some noticeable changes when you visit. I do prefer the wine club tastings the old way better. Wine club members can still choose a complimentary flight or four tastes. We used to sample more then 4 which always resulted in a larger purchase on our end. We're finding we're spending less money now. If you have the opportunity you should stop into this lovely vineyard. Also sign up for their barrel tasking. It's a great experience. read more

Can't say enough positive things about this vineyard. First and foremost, the wine is lovely, my favorite on Long Island. I recently organized a work event at the tasting room and it was amazing. Everyone raved about the experience. I recently brought friends and they were equally impressed. The vineyard and venue are beautiful and their sustainable practices are deliberate and important. And lastly, Kareem, Courtney, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make it a great experience. read more

We were fortunate to come on a Monday when we enjoyed wide open spaces. Just after Labor Day the fields were still lush and beautiful. A seat on the deck was the perfect place for a lovely tasting. Each vineyard is different, and I liked that this tasting room overlooks the vines themselves. I quite enjoyed all of the wines in my flight which of course will be up to your own preferences. I removed one star because the person who served us did not know anything about the wine. I find on the North Fork they are usually very informed about the product, and at many of the vineyards you will find yourself speaking to the family who runs the operation. Our sever read a brief description off of a card and that was all she knew. Ex: when asked what grapes were in the blanc de blanc, she did not know. Make sure you check the website for COVID-specific details. For our trip, tastings were offered on weekends only and you are required to have your temperature checked at the door. read more
