Wolffer Estate Vineyard on Long Island sits at the beginning of the South Fork of the East End, right off the Montauk Highway on Sagg Rd—at the crossroads of the Village of Sagaponack—and maintains their Wolffer Estate Vineyard and property along with The Wine Stand at Wolffer Estate during the summer.
At the time of our tasting, at dusk, long rows of twinkling lights lit up along the grapevines. Absolutely stunning.
