This is the most gorgeous winery I've been to on Long Island. It's never been crowded so we always have a great time!
Stepping on this property you get a feel that you're not on Long Island but on an Italian countryside. The wines are delicious,... and the staff is friendly and accommodating, I've never encountered an attitude here, just employees that are happy to make sureyour having a great time. The property is well maintained and the staff love explaining the processes that happen at differenttimes of the year to make the great wine selection. Definitely recommend! Read more
I stopped by Raphael with my friend on Sunday around 1pm without a reservation and was seated outside within 10 minutes. The... indoor was very beautiful and decorated with very pretty lights. Our server (old lady) was able to take our order and come backwith our drinks and food very quickly. We ordered the rose and riesling as well as chips and salsa and the BH cheese and meat.The chips and salsa were overpriced for $10 and $8 each despite them giving us the whole bag and tub of salsa. We ended up onlyeating half and throwing away the rest. After we were done with our wine and food, we wanted to leave but ended up waiting 45minutes for the server to come to our table. She never checked in with us or asked us if we wanted another round or anythingelse. She seemed very interested in other tables but ours and we couldn't flag her down. I eventually had to walk up to her atthe wine bar to ask for the check and even then it took her a good 15 minutes to bring us the check. When we got our check andwanted to pay, she was unavailable and busy talking to guests at the wine bar who didn't even have a table. I had to ask adifferent server to help me close out. This was a very disappointing experience and the service was horrible. We spent a lot oftime here just waiting to leave. We ended up going to Pindar down the street and had a better time there. Don't recommend thisplace. Read more
We came for the good wine and to look around at the Vineyard. I've always liked this winery because they spent a lot effort... here making the building substantial and grand, which shows to me that they care a great deal about the experience theircustomers will have when visiting. I feel as though I am welcomed by the building and the beautifully manicured flower gardensin front. The fact that I enjoy their wine is icing on the cake. Like all other wineries, we buy their wine at local wineshops for about half of their on-premise prices. Read more
This is mostly a wedding review, but if you?re on here searching for NoFo vineyards to hit, this is definitely one! The wine,... food, staff and ambience are the best!! Premium flights are so worth it...I LOVE the first label Merlot. One wine not on thepremium list I love is the Rosé of Pinot Noir. Highly recommend asking for table service after a tasting. Get a glass or bottleof your favorite vino and a pizza, grilled cheese with soup or cheese plate!! There are covered outdoor areas for summer fun anda cozy fireplace come winter! Ok, so wedding: Literally do not know where to begin. The North Fork has been our playgroundsince we got together, so we really wanted to have it at a winery. Raphael?s had been one of our go-tos, so they were one of thefirst we reached out to. Everything you?ve heard about the hassles of vineyard weddings/having to bring everything in: ignore itfor this place. They cater it, have their own tables/chairs/linens and do a complete top-shelf bar. The cake comes too, andthere are no add ons! You just get EVERYTHING. We had an ice cream bar that I?m not sure I even asked for but loved, multipledesserts, 3 signature cocktails (mine, his, my dog?s)...they brought out drunk food (pizza and sliders) at the end of thenight...NOTHING cost extra. They just did it. People raved about the food, service and ambiance! It was amazing being able tohave my dog there too!! It?s also the most beautiful place but most importantly the people there are the most beautiful people.We got treated like royalty every time we went there just for fun (too often for our livers but whatever). The whole staff isincredible and even makes my dog feel like a Queen (she is one). Lisa and Julie are unbelievable. They made sure we ate, putcocktail hour food in our bridal suite so we could have time to ourselves (didn?t even have to ask) and kept putting other foodand drinks out for us in places no one was sitting so we could actually be with each other on our wedding Read more
Beautiful building. It's a large Italian themed villa. Wines were all excellent except 1 which we were warned tasted like... petrol. It did. Atmosphere and service were top notch. Really enjoyed this stop in the north fork wine trail. Read more
