    A lovely place to hang out and drink some wine.
    Joel H.

    I have been coming here for year's now... 11 to be exact. Obviously I have enjoyed the selection of wines here to put this shop in my top three Long Island Wineries. On top of the great wines (I'll name a few of mine later in this review, they have and have always had a remarkable team...) Everyone has always been just delightful to work with and if you're new at this, they will definitely take you through the ropes. (or grapes, if you will.) I am definitely a fan of how they turned this location to a members only space. I realize that not everyone was so pleased at this move but they definately have enough club members to fill the house both inside and out on a nice day. Roanoke was my first club to join on the North Fork (11 year's ago). If you go through my collection I'm sure you'll still find some Blend 1 & 2. This space is a warm-comfortable place to just hang out and enjoy some good wine and people. They have a back room [with fire place] for groups or even just a few people, and an outside sitting area with tables. They have plenty to choose from and my favorite may not be your favorite but make sure you try it all. They set up their member tastings specifically for you to sample a range of the wines. Some of my personal favorites: - Infinite Possibility - Chardonnay was blended with Sauvignon Blanc, making a white that adds intrigue to dinner or an evening on the beach. The crispness of the Sauvignon Blanc is softened by the Chardonnay, but there's still a lively acidity for balance. - Marco Tulio - Our member's favorite blend. - PRIME NUMBER - The benchmark for quality. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Merlot in almost equal amounts for a dynamic wine that possesses both power and elegance. The Merlot provides a plush and soft contrast to the Cabernet Sauvignon's cherry and black fruit structure. They also have a relationship with Wollfer Estate Vineyards which allows you to buy their products with a small discount. Bottom line: If your not a member go to their Love Lane tasting room, try some some wine and join the club... You will really be happy to did!

    This is my new happy place. The staff is amazing. The audience is wonderful. We love going to their tasting rooms it's our new Sunday Funday thing. And the winds are amazing I brought a friend who was never into reds and she fell in love with her Merlot blend. The wild is just about my favorite but I also love infinite possibilities. They're cheese boards are wonderful

    Our top choice of vineyards , we are members. We have been coming here for about 9 years and have yet to be disappointed. The customer service and selection are top notch. We visit at least once a month.

    My favorite place for red wines on the north fork. You must be a member to visit this location so JOIN! You can visit their other location on love lane if you are not a member.

    I always find myself in the North Fork of Long Island, the town of Riverhead NY, simply because my mother in law loves to shop at the outlet stores in the area. As her favorite son in law, trust me I know, you don't need to ask her :) I found that Roanoke Vineyards was a mere 6 miles away from the outlet. We took the opportunity to visit the winery, minus the mother in law. A very unassuming winery when you drive up to the place off "Sound Ave" A Big lush beautiful vineyard in the background and then somebody decided to build a barn right in the middle of it, but don't be fooled by the ordinary looking barn, once you enter inside the wood panels, floors, countertops, benches and tables bring warmth and character to this place. I'll be the first to admit that I am no wine tasting specialist or connoisseur. My general rule is as long as it doesn't come in a twist cap, we should be off to a good start. The Sommelier was extremely knowledgeable as he explained the different nuances and flavor profiles of the wines they made. We opted for the "Roundtrip Flight" for $10 we each received 2 samples of red and white. The Merlots were very good, but we fell in love with the "Wolffer Estate" - The Grapes of Roth 2013 Dry Riesling and the 2012 Diosa late harvest dessert white table wine. The Riesling were not overly sweet and had a great fruity aroma, conversely the dessert wine had what the Sommelier said "Lots of residual sugar" but it was Oh so good residual sugar! The wines are not cheap, but IMHO, worth it! They also served us a small platter of cheese and bread to complement the wine. At the end we bought 4 bottles home! There is also grape seed oil and other little knick knacks for sale in the store. In the rear of the store inside and outside there are a couple of tables and chairs, so you can make it a date, just bring your own food, buy a glass or bottle of wine and enjoy the day. Just make sure to clean up after yourself and throw out the trash. This is definitely a great place to start in trying out the many fine wineries in the North Fork area. Oh Yeah! don't worry,we didn't forget to pick up Mom!

    Wine, bread, cheese on a beautiful day in the North Fork. It don't get much better than this.

    A quaint, nonpretentious little winery near the beginning of the wine trail, this place is unassuming and actually easy to miss. From the main road, it looks like no more than a small cabin. On the inside, they have one small bar, which can get crowded. Once you are able to place your order and receive your drinks and small plates, you have the option of either sitting in the indoor dining/drinking area or outside on the lawn facing the vineyard. Needless to say, we chose the latter. On a day with good weather, sipping on wines while lounging in one of their Adirondack chairs can't be beat. You can park yourself right next to the grapes and enjoy your drink(s) and the amazing views. There are tables and chairs sparsely positioned all over the lawn, so it never feels too crowded or noisy. I could have stayed there all day. Service is just okay. As I mentioned, their small bar gets overwhelmed very quickly and sometimes, it took a long time to get someone's attention. It would be nice if they could put in a second bar or designated serving area, especially on weekends when larger crowds can pretty much be guaranteed. Other than this, I really enjoyed my visit.

    Roanoke Vineyards is another vineyard I would never think to stop at. For several years, I've visited the North Fork a handful of times each year. We were looking for some vineyards we haven't been to. Roanoke came up. It looked quiet and humble, with a gravel parking lot and a small barn-like building. When you walk in, you enter the main tasting room. Along the left hand side is a bar-like area where you can go to try 3 different flights. I opted for the Round Trip Flight, an offering of 4 types of red and white wine: 2010 The Wild!, 2009 Marco Tulio, 2008 Cabernet Franc, and the 2007 Merlot. The wines were decent though not on my top list of favorites on the North Fork. However, what really surprised me was the complimentary stone plate of 3 types of cheese and 4 pieces of thinly sliced bread. Each of the three types of cheese included 2 pieces each: Asiago, Pecorino, and a Gouda aged for 5 years. It was the perfect complement to their wine, making for a very enjoyable experience. After you're done with your wine tasting, you can also go into the library, where several tables are set up. It's not a full-fledged library, however it's small and cozy to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. The library is also used for tastings of some of their other wines with a full-time librarian to help complement your special event.

    One of their white wine blends that was a collaboration with a winemaker from a different vineyard.  They experiment and win!

    Hands down best winery on Long Island. My wife and I have been visiting since 2006 and I don't recall ever tasting a bad wine. It's one of only 2 wine clubs we belong to on Long Island and we're east end winery veterans lol. You won't find the bus loads of drunk twenty something's here with loud music or gimmicks. What you do get is amazing wine, that's it. If you're serious about wine, this is where you go. One of the only vineyards on Long Island producing exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon. If I was to write everything swimming around inside my head this review would be too long to read. Standing ovation to the proprietors Richie and Soraya for a fantastic job and their ambassador the always charming Gabby! Go! Go! Go!

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.
