“This delightful winery in Suffolk County is a true highlight of the region. From the moment you enter, you're wrapped in a blend of elegant and cozy atmosphere, complemented by the remarkably friendly and attentive staff. The quaint gift shop adds a lovely touch, ideal for finding unique gifts for fellow wine enthusiasts. The wines themselves are a highlight, especially the Riesling and White Merlot, both offering exceptional taste experiences. The summer season brings out the best of the winery, with its beautiful grounds providing a perfect setting for wine enjoyment. Anticipation is high for my next summer visit to this charming spot!“
“I didn't love any of the wines, except the sparkling blanc de blanc (first of the tasting) and the Cabernet franc (fourth of the tasting) but the place itself is very nice. We enjoyed the outdoor seating in the sun and there were several cute rooms in the house-like structure to choose from if you wanted to stay indoors. There is also an art gallery next door as well as a hardware store. It's also a 5 min walk from Jamesport in case you want to check out a second winery. Overall, didn't love the wines but still a fun experience and a cute place to check out. They do have some light snacks to choose from if you'd like, though we came from lunch so didn't try any.“
“I love Roanoke vineyards and their delicious wines! Everyone here is awesome, and as a member, I can go in anytime and have a nice little private wine day with friends. Their vineyard is absolute stunning and every one of their wines is amazing!We come here often since we are lucky enough to live right down the road. The last time we were there, Chef Tom Schaudel was doing an event for us, and grilling up the most amazing foods! We were served grilled Grilled smoked St. Louis ribs with blackberry scented BBQ sauce, Chicken thighs with mustard vinaigrette marinade, Lightly smoked potato salad,Fresh heirloom tomatoes with basil and a Grilled olive-oil almond cake withstrawberries & fresh whipped cream. Everything was absolutely delicious! He even grilled iceberg lettuce, which I never thought to do, with fennel and the best dressing ever! We were served all of their great wines, and Tom talked about the food, the restaurant business, music and guitars, which my husband being a guitar player absolutely loved :-) We got to talk to Tom for a while after the event, and we also bought his second book, "A Second Helping," which is just as entertaining and funny as his first book. He really is such a great down to earth guy, and meeting him was the highlight of my day, along with the great food, and wine of course!Since Roanoke is a members only winery, if you do have friends who belong, I highly recommend going with them. You will love their wines, the beautiful vineyards, and the very beautiful and inviting inside, where you can relax with friends, have some wine, and just have an amazing day!Thank you everyone at Roanoke, and a special thanks to Tom Schaudel for making our day there even more special! (I would have taken more pictures to post, but I was so involved with the great food, people we met, and the great overall atmosphere, that I didn't want to miss a thing :-)“
“This is one of my favorite vineyards on the island. We discovered this place through my husbands Riverhead family hometown and it has become a quarterly addition to when we visit the family. We came here for a wine tasting and were introduced to the wine club and we haven’t regretted it. The team at Macari always follows up with member concerns and is genuine when things aren’t always seamless and try to make things right in the moment when you give feedback. Highly recommend if you are looking for a wine club and you live in New York City.“
“I celebrated my 33rd birthday 2/25. It was amazing we had a party bus drop us off. Though it’s winter season it was still beautiful to visit. Tasting deck has wonderful lighting. We got upgraded to the private cellar to accommodate for very chilly temperatures took minute for tasting deck to warm up. The staff was amazing (Gaetno & Christian) and helpful. My favorite wine was the Steel Chardonnay. We will be back for spring/summer time.“
“Jason’s vineyard is one of the few vineyards that still allows outside food, children, and dogs. It is a very relaxed and welcoming environment. We’ve been going there for 5 years now and absolutely love it. Every time we are there, we recognize the faces of the employees, a sure sign that the people who work there are treated well and enjoy their job.PS the rose, Chardonnay, and bubble should all be tried!!!“
“We went for the first time this past weekend.Staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was so relaxing with live music. The wine and spritzers were delicious! And they also have beer on tap (husbands enjoyed).We cannot wait to come back in the spring.Definitely one of my top 5 wineries “

“A day that was even better than expected! What a treat.Our wine tasting and lunch at Jamesport Vineyards was delightful - from the moment we were greeted warmly at the door to attentive service at the table, to the very gentle reminder that we had been lingering a very, very long time at the table, followed by an invitation to move to the comfortable chairs in the garden. The wines were tasty, The pizzas delicious, and the setting soothing. For a civilized, relaxing day at a winery Jamesport is an excellent choice.“
“Pleasant unplanned road stop yielded a nice sit-down experience with friends to enjoy one bottle of wine during a cold day in their spacious room overlooking the vast field of the vineyard. Great stop along the way to whatever plans you made for the evening.“
“Highly recommend this place. The service was spot on. Drinks, Charcuterie board delicious. Food trucks were available-we were full though ?. Live music great singing & playing many different genres. Beautiful grounds. All in all fabulous day there spent with friends ?????????????“
