The North Fork-The Un-Hamptons

Twenty years ago, the North Fork―a collection of 11 small towns from Riverhead to Orient Point on the 30-mile peninsula at the northeastern tip of Long Island―was marked by a dying agriculture industry. 

Now, as many city-dwellers have come from New York to open restaurants, inns, and wineries, the North Fork has developed into something more than just the Un-Hamptons. It’s now a tight-knit community of trendsetters with a distinctly quirky, sophisticated style, where words like “seasonal” and “sustainable” are de rigueur.

The area offers much to do in all seasons from the tranquility of the bay and openness of the sound for boating and fishing in the summer to the fall harvests of the new vintages at the many small and intimate wineries.

Visit during autumn and you can expect fewer crowds and lower hotel rates than during peak times. Once the summer bustle has died down, what is left is sprawling fields peppered by small villages, farm stands, stylish hotels, stellar restaurants, and wineries. Lots and lots of wineries.
