The East End of Long Island, which has long been a world-class tourist destination, has always been defined by its bounty of fresh food from the land and sea, and the growth of the wine industry over the last 50 years just solidified the region as an incredible culinary destination.
The American Hotel, the iconic Sag Harbor restaurant with one of the
region’s most impressive wine cellars, will serve as host for the opening
event on Thursday, June 22, where “A Celebration of 50 Years of Long
Island Wine” will showcase winemakers from across the region. The
event will run from 1 to 4 p.m. . and will include on going tasting (available from 1 to 3:45) with light bites. Breakout seminars with some of the East End’s top wine producers will take place during the day (separate tickets required).
