1. Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard

Does an afternoon of sipping wine and enjoying the North Fork of Long Island sound amazing? Then take a drive to New York’s Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard. You can easily spend some time at the winery and tasting room, sampling their estate wines. Note that if you have a van rental full of friends, you will want to make a reservation—a vineyard requirement if you have more than six people in your group.
