Things to Do On Long Island for Seniors
There is always something to do on the East End of the North Fork of Long Island, NY.
Long Island Wine Country
Alex and Louisa Hargrave planted the first vineyard on Long Island in 1973 in the town of Cutchogue, N.Y. Now, more than forty years later, the region has grown into one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in the country, and Louisa is a welcomed member of our community, providing seasonal updates on all things wine.
“When you visit the Long Island Wine Region, you share in the pride that we have for our people, our land and the culture that make us unique.”
Long Island Wine Council
