This is just real wine that speaks to you if you are open enough to listen to it. No natty wine bro talk here just real farming practices by real people who care about the environment. And the wine...they're amazing, they've got soul and personality. After tasting Long Island wines for many years these wines were a welcome for my taste buds. Connie and Rex are unfiltered and welcoming in a world and industry full of salespeople. Beautiful and inviting home. They made and the kids feel like we were visiting family even offering the kids something to eat or drink. Kids decided to play with several of the cats which are also super friendly. Once done with the flight tasting, Rex invited us for a ride in their pickup truck through the vineyards. If you want to truly understand wine, this is one of the best places and people to do this with. You feel connected in so many ways from soil to vine to glass through Rex and Connie. It's one of the best wine experience I've had in my 23 years in the wine trade. Looking forward to coming back for harvest.

It was such a surprise visit. On a rainy day we ventured out and found this vineyard…read more Connie provided us with a tasting and a lesson in bio diversity farming.

Our instructor was terrific and was able to focus on the class with the added distraction of goats running around and some Yogi's only there for the libations. Thanks to our instructor I was able to follow her instructions and keep up with the class, not bad for a newbie. The goats were cool and did not get in our way most of the time. The goat handlers did a great job preparing the goats and handing out food to us to feed the goats. There were a couple of accidents but the poop easily rolls off the yoga mats.

Nothing like a bunch of cuties running towards you. They were so friendly and adorable, and very chill about being pet. As much as I'm not a yogi, the class from Cocomotion was fairly easy to follow, and the instructor was extraordinarily knowledgeable and patient. I liked that she brought an upbeat playlist that included some pop music. Made it much more fun to follow. The biscuits from Main Road Biscuit Co. were incredible, as is everything they make. The honey butter and peach jam took them above and beyond. The LIV distillery was a bit of a let down for me today. They didn't seem too thrilled to have us there- the bartenders were extremely unfriendly. I've had pleasant experiences here before, so was really shocked at the shift in hospitality. Additionally, the Bloody Marys were eh. Long Island Spirits makes an amazing Bourbon, so I'd been hoping for a drink option involving that. Overall, super cool event. I laughed all morning, which was much needed. I pet lots of goats. And I got a sweet Yelp swag bag. What more could you ask for?

Raquel was extremely accommodating during the planning process, even with all of our back and forth due to COVID planning. The actual vineyards have very strict restrictions on group size post-COVID (even now with NY open) so I would suggest keeping the group to 10 or less. We upgraded to the party bus and was worth it! One improvement I would've liked to see would have been options for dietary restrictions. Lunch was a veggie platter with dips, and Italian hero sandwiches. Our group had a vegan, gluten free, and dairy free folks so we brought our own snacks and they had some of the veggie platter. As a meat eater myself though, the food was great! Overall, definitely recommend booking Elegant for a wine tour.

For 8 people, I booked the Cabernet package which is a 7 hour tour with 3 stops and includes lunch, chips, cheese & fruit platter, water and soda. We also opt'd for the Riverhead Ciderhouse which is a $15 additional cost per person. Our driver, Ray, arrived 20 minutes before our scheduled pick-up time, which was great so we were able to leave exactly on-time. We were in a Lincoln Stretch Limo, my guess is that it is classified as a 10-12 person limo, with 8 people we were fine, but I think if we had a 9th person it would have been cramped. The limo was in great condition and on a 95 degree day, the AC kept us very comfortable. Ray was great, he was super personable and was happy to take tons of pictures of our group and carry coolers to and from the limo. He took great care of us. We had about an hour at each of the 3 stops; our travel time from our pick-up location was about 1.5 hours. First stop was Ciderhouse and was probably my favorite. It's a large and comfortable atmosphere. Next up was Duck Walk where we grabbed a table inside and Ray set-up our lunch. The sandwiches provided were good, but kind of on the small side. 1 of the 8 is gluten free so did not eat the sandwiches and the 7 of us had no issues finishing them off. The cheese and fruit platter was good. The last stop was at Pugliese which is mainly outside with some live music. We brought our snacks from the car in and had them with our wine. Nice vibe but on a super hot day it's a little uncomfortable. Overall we had a really great time and I would definitely do it again.

You have a great driver, Kevin, who is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and most of all patient to put up with all our drunken shenanigans during this past weekend's Yelp Beer Bus event. The bus itself is clean, comfortable, and has both a tv and dock for playing your Ipod's. It's a great way to get around and taste a lot of beer without having to worry about getting a DWI ! Kevin knows all the routes to some of the best local breweries, and is a big craft beer guy himself. They do many beer tasting events on LI and around the local NY area and have packages available for group trips, or shorter shuttles to the local brew tastings. Check out the website for upcoming beer events and rates. To me, it's totally worth the cost to enjoy a worry free, and safe day, rather than drinking and driving. We hit up Great South Bay, Long Ireland, and Port Jeff Brewing Company. That last stop in Port Jeff on a terrific spring day was just perfect to try some beers and then wander around the town for a bite to eat before heading back to the train station to drop us off. Kevin has a great little biz here that I wholeheartedly endorse. Also, between stops it pretty much became a beer fueled dance party bus with some moves going on that would put some strippers to shame! Yay beer!
