Fodor's Expert Review Raphael

Cutchogue

The winery is a boutique producer of high-end merlot, but the lavish Spanish mission–style winery, built with wrought iron and stone, is worth a visit on its own. The best-selling wines here are the First Label Sauvignon Blanc 2013 and La Fontana 2010 Bordeux-style blend. Live music takes place on Sunday.
