Looking for a reason to plan a wine tasting? Here are six occasions that call for a trip to Long Island vineyards.

ENGAGEMENT PARTIES

If you’ve popped the question and want to get a close knit group of friends and family together, wine tasting is a great idea. Bond over delicious wine and snacks while talking about how you and your sweetheart met and sharing the details of your upcoming nuptials.

It can also give you ideas on what wines you’d like to offer at your reception, too. Maybe you’ll far in love with local Macari Vineyards or Pindar Vineyards and decide to have your ceremony there!

BIRTHDAYS

Why not celebrate your birthday in style at a great Long Island vineyard? Sample the best wines on the Island with your closest friends and family members, while taking in gorgeous views of the coast and vineyards.

GIRLS OR GUYS DAY OUT

If you’re due for a day out with your best guy or girlfriends and want to up the ante, a wine tasting is an ideal setting. Listen to great music, sample the finest wines and enjoy spending time with your friends and making memories that you’ll be able to look back on and smile. A wine tasting is perfect for people who need to unwind after a long day or week of work.

PROPOSALS

Planning on popping the question to your loved one? Wine tasting is a great occasion! Enjoy live music in the tasting rooms, sample your favorite wines and soak up the romantic, intimate atmosphere. You’ll feel like it’s something out of a movie, and your fiancé or fiancée will love it.

BACHELORETTE PARTIES

If you need a fun, classy activity for your bachelorette party, then wine tasting is the way to go. What’s better than a limo ride across the Island and going to an elegant establishment that offers wine, music and an ambiance that is perfect for enjoying yourself?

ANNIVERSARIES

Anniversaries are supposed to be romantic and intimate. The perfect setting for a milestone anniversary is a wine tasting. It’s romantic, fun and much more special than your run-of-the-mill dinner date.

Wine tasting is an activity anyone can enjoy, and it offers so much more than meets the you. Of course you’ll get to sample wine, but you’ll also learn about the history and science behind winemaking on Long Island. Try wine and cheese pairings, listen to to live music, enjoy great conversation and soak up the sun.
The best part is being able to ride in the limo there and back, in the company of your friends. Don’t settle for the same old routine next time you get together with friends. Try something different by planning a wine tasting!
