History

Founded in 1992, Suhru & Lieb Vineyards has grown from a 12-acre vineyard to 54-acres of certified sustainable estate grown vineyards.

Known for their signature dry, clean and fruit-forward style, Suhru & Lieb Vineyards offers a portfolio of estate-grown, still and sparkling wines made by Long Island veteran winemaker Russell Hearn. Enjoy a glass or a tasting while overlooking rolling farmland and our beautiful vineyards, tucked away on Oregon Road, one of the most picturesque locations on the East End!

We are proud to have 54-acres of certified sustainable vines, including the largest contiguous plot of Pinot Blanc in the United States. Suhru & Lieb Vineyards produces two labels. Suhru Wines, focuses on lesser known grape varietals and lesser known winemaking styles. Lieb Cellars, is known for the classic vitis vinifera grape varieties and elegant sparkling wines; think Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Bordeaux style red wines including Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and a full-bodied red blend.
