Winery · Calverton
A working organic farm in Calverton where the family that grows the grapes also pours the wine.
Rex and Connie Farr pour on the deck of their own house, then walk you through 8.5 acres of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The farm has been chemical-free since 1985, and it is the only certified organic, biodynamic vineyard on Long Island. One group at a time, so call ahead, and bring a picnic.

Getting here
A black-car SUV with a driver, door to door. Ask for a price and our black-car partner will come back to you — which also settles the one problem a tasting day cannot solve on its own, that somebody has to stay sober to drive.
