An Afternoon At Croteaux Vineyard

We took a wrong turn off of route 27A on South Harbor Road in Southold,LI,NY and discovered Croteaux Vineyard.

We walked through a small entrance building into a "tasting garden" that gave us a feel as if you were in the countryside of France.

You could hear the beautiful French music playing in the background of laughter and joy of all that were in the in the "tasting garden".

We were greeted by friendly staff and served excellent food and wine. I did not want to leave after a few hours and for what I could see no one else wanted to leave either.

A perfect end to a beautiful Sunday in September.

If you are ever in the Southold area do yourself a favor and stop by and visit Croteaux Vineyard. I will be going back for a visit very soon !!!!!
