What's Happening on the Long Island Wine Trail in June
June is the East End's most-balanced month — warm enough for rosé on the lawn, quiet enough that you can still get a same-day reservation. Use it before July hits.
What's happening on the wine trail in June
_By Hollis Cooper — updated for the June 2025 season._
June is the East End's most-balanced month — warm enough for rosé on the lawn, quiet enough that you can still get a same-day reservation. Use it before July hits.
Below are the 2–3 things actually worth driving out for this June, broken out by region. Dates and lineups change year to year — confirm on each winery's site before you book — but these are the recurring events and seasonal pours I plan my own June around.
North Fork
- Sparkling Pointe terrace pours — the cabana season opens in earnest; book the Sound-side tables a week ahead.
- Father's Day red flights — Bedell, Lenz and Paumanok all run reserve-red tastings the third weekend of the month.
- Pride weekend at Sannino — most years the vineyard runs a Pride-themed tasting and dinner in mid-June; check their events page.
For June North Fork itineraries, see the North Fork day trip guide and the first-time visitor's guide. Browse the wineries directory to build your own route.
The Hamptons
- Wölffer Twilight Thursdays — the long-running summer music series typically starts mid-June on the Sagaponack lawn.
- Channing Daughters lawn pours — full Saturday tasting service with the new pét-nat usually live.
- Hamptons Restaurant Week — Nick & Toni's, The Beacon, a Mano and others participate the first week of June; pair with a Hamptons Chardonnay.

How I'd plan a June weekend
If you're putting together a single weekend on the East End this June, the move is to anchor Saturday on one fork and Sunday on the other. North Fork Saturday lets you string together three winery visits at a comfortable pace — start at one of the producers listed above, break for lunch in Greenport or on Love Lane, and finish at a Sound-side tasting room for the late-afternoon light. Sunday in the Hamptons is best built around one major Wölffer or Channing Daughters visit plus a long lunch in Sag Harbor before the drive home.
Reserve every tasting in advance. Even in the shoulder months the better seated experiences fill up by Thursday. And if you're staying over, book the room before the tasting — the hotels guide has the full lineup by town.
What's next
Next month's edition will cover the events and seasonal pours worth planning around in the following weeks. In the meantime, the Long Island wine events calendar tracks the bigger dated happenings, and the seasonal guide collects every month-by-month edition in one place.
