In Long Island Wine Country, rosé season lasts all year long—and we’re here for it. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on a vineyard patio, toasting with friends at a fall harvest party, or cozying up by the fire with a glass of something chilled and pink, there’s never a wrong time to say yes to rosé.
Here’s why rosé deserves a permanent spot in your glass—and where to find the best rosé wine on Long Island.
Rosé wine has captured the hearts (and Instagram feeds) of wine lovers everywhere—and for good reason. It’s refreshing, versatile, and easy to drink. Plus, with styles ranging from dry and crisp to fruit-forward and floral, there’s truly a rosé for everyone.
Unlike red and white wines, rosé is made by allowing grape skins to sit with the juice for just a short time—giving it that signature blush or salmon hue without the heavy tannins. The result? A wine that’s light, bright, and perfect for sipping anytime.
The North Fork is home to some of the best rosé producers on the East Coast. Whether you’re planning a weekend in Wine Country or a midweek escape, these spots are serving up pink perfection by the glass.
If you’re looking for the best rosé wine in Long Island Wine Country, Suhru & Lieb Vineyards should be at the top of your list. Their Dry Rosé is crisp, clean, and ultra-refreshing—with rich fruity notes and just the right amount of minerality.
Why we love it:
Perfectly balanced and food-friendly
Poured on their relaxed patio—great for midweek sipping
Staff is super welcoming and happy to guide first-time rosé drinkers
Pro Tip: Visit midweek to skip the crowds and enjoy a peaceful tasting experience with your pink drink in hand.
This vineyard is literally dedicated to rosé. Croteaux is the only winery on the North Fork that exclusively produces rosé, and they do it beautifully. Their garden courtyard is one of the most Instagrammable spots on the East End.
Try this: The “3 Rosés” flight, which lets you explore the range from light and crisp to bold and floral.
Okay, it’s not on the North Fork—but it’s worth the detour. Wölffer’s Summer in a Bottle Rosé is legendary. With its signature floral bottle and bright, juicy profile, this wine is a year-round favorite.
Let’s break the seasonal stereotype: rosé pairs just as well with a fall cheese board or a cozy winter brunch as it does with summer salads. Its refreshing acidity cuts through richer foods, and its versatility makes it ideal for any occasion.
Pair it with:
Charcuterie and soft cheeses
Sushi or seafood
Roasted chicken or grain bowls
Your next backyard hang with friends
On the North Fork, every day is a good day for rosé. With scenic vineyards, welcoming tasting rooms, and some of the most refreshing pink wines around, it’s easy to see why rosé season never ends here.
Whether you’re a first-time sipper or a certified rosé loyalist, there’s no better place to raise a glass. So the next time you’re planning a weekend trip (or sneaking in a midweek tasting), be sure to add one—or all—of these rosé-loving wineries to your itinerary.
Rosé all day? Always. Especially on the North Fork.
