While the various hamlets in the North Fork are all charming in their own way, Greenport Village is worth spending some time in. Greenport is well known for its restaurants, bars, shopping, carousel, and marina.
Fans of sparkling rose` will enjoy this vineyard. You can enjoy the bubbles and sunshine while sitting in an adorable outdoor tasting garden that is flanked by historic barns. This is Caiti's favorite North Fork Vineyard.

There are loads of farmstands to try out on the North Fork that sell a variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and animal products. One such farm stand is 8 Hands Farm which, according to Afar Maganize, "is an absolute must-see." 8 Hands Farm is a "28-acre family-run farm [that] sells fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens at its on-site market." You will also find "hand-woven rugs and knitted clothing made using wool from the farm’s Icelandic sheep. The sustainable farm also features an outdoor food truck that serves breakfast and lunch from a seasonal menu."
If you decide to take the ferry from Greenport over to Shelter Island, you can hike at Mashomack Preserve.

It's a great way to experience the beauty of the North Fork.
Case's Place is a lovely restaurant located right on Peconic Bay. While sipping on tasty cocktails and taking in waterfront views, you can enjoy their fresh scallops, famous seafood sausage, and other fresh catches.
