South Fork (Hamptons) Wineries
The South Fork has fewer vineyards than the North Fork, but two standouts pull significant visitor traffic. These pair naturally with Hamptons pickups and can combine with North Fork tours for full-day trips.
Wölffer Estate (Sagaponack)
Flagship South Fork vineyard. Known for Summer in a Bottle rosé, estate sparkling, and pinot noir. Expansive grounds, gorgeous tasting room, and Stable (the on-site bar/restaurant).
173 Sagg Road, Sagaponack NY 11962
Channing Daughters (Bridgehampton)
Natural wine focus with Italian varietals (Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Tocai). Sculpture gardens, intimate tasting room, lower volume than Wölffer.
1927 Scuttlehole Road, Bridgehampton NY 11932
For Hamptons-based guests wanting North Fork wine country access, Sprinter Van transfers from Southampton, East Hampton, or Sag Harbor to the North Fork via the Shelter Island ferry (North Haven → Shelter Island → Greenport) take approximately 45-60 minutes each way.
Lunch & Dining Stops on a Wine Tour
A good wine tour includes a proper lunch break — palate reset, hydration, and energy for the afternoon stops. Here are favorite North Fork restaurants by location.
Love Lane Kitchen (Mattituck)
Farm-to-table, local produce, excellent brunch. Most booked wine tour lunch.
The North Fork Table & Inn (Southold)

Italian, handmade pasta, extensive wine list including North Fork selections.
Jamesport Manor Inn (Jamesport)
Fine dining in restored manor, good for longer lunches and special occasions.
Noah's (Greenport)
