Paumanok Vineyards
Early North Fork estate — Chenin Blanc, lawn chairs, serious pours, no picnic coolers.
The original Massoud estate, still the place for New York Chenin Blanc and a lawn of Adirondack chairs. Quality-first pours, no picnic coolers, and the same family as Palmer without being the same stop.
Quality-first estate — cool-climate Chenin and Bordeaux reds, not a party barn

Good to know
Weekend pets banned. Intoxicated arrivals turned away. Same family as Palmer, but this is the original Massoud estate.
Getting here
Our partner can drive you to Paumanok Vineyards
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.
Pick the car
The quieter ride of the two, and the one people picture when they book a black car.
