The 2013 Long Island Vineyard Season has Begun

The 2013 Long Island Wine Season has begun. Long Island Limousine by Broward offers organized wine tours to the vineyards of Long Island Wine Country in the North Fork & The Hamptons Region. About 100 miles (160 kilometres) east of New York City, the Long Island separates into the North Fork and a South Fork known as The Hamptons, with the Atlantic Ocean on the south, Great Peconic Bay separating the two forks, and Long Island Sound to the north. These massive bodies of water moderate the temperature, creating a long growing season and ideal conditions for robust merlots, full-bodied chardonnays, and other European classics.

We can organize tours to Pindar Winery, Duckwalk North, Laurel Lakes Vineyards, Opsrey's Dominion, Pugliese, Palmer, Martha Clara and Jamesport Vineyards. These Vinyards are located within the The Long Island AVA which is an American Viticultural Area encompassing Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York, including the smaller offshore islands in those counties. The AVA was established in 2001, over 15 years after two smaller AVAs were created at the eastern end of Long Island. The Long Island AVA designation was promoted as a benefit for some wineries located just outside the two smaller AVAs and for wineries that wanted to create wines that use blends from vineyards in different parts of the island. It was also developed and promoted as a consumer protection of the Long Island name; AVAs require that a minimum of 85% of the fruit used in the designated wine is grown within the borders of the region. The "Long Island" AVA was authored by veteran Long Island winemaker Richard Olsen-Harbich who also authored the "The Hamptons, Long Island" and "North Fork of Long Island" AVAs in the mid-1980s. Vineyards on Long Island benefit from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, and Peconic Bay on the local climate.
