There are SO many great wineries and breweries located around the area for you to enjoy during Columbus Day Weekend.
If you’re traveling with little ones, there are farms and orchards available for hayrides, apple or pumpkin picking, and other festive activities.
If you're looking to do some indoor activities, there is the Long Island aquarium and Tanger Outlets in Riverhead!
Please note, the North Fork can be very crowded this time of year so plan for many people and some traffic.
The North Shore of Long Island transforms into the vast farmlands of the North Fork, one of the largest and most preserved agricultural regions in New York State and home of Long Island’s award-winning wine country.
The North Fork, or as the locals call it “NOFO,” features more than 60 vineyards and dozens of breweries and craft distilleries. Visitors will discover charming roadside cottages and B&Bs nestled throughout the East End region. And with more than 100 active farms and farm stands, fall harvest and leaf peeping season are celebrated spectacles that locals yearn for throughout the year.
