Happenings in the Heart of Wine Country

Most of our guests come to the North Fork and stay at our Bed and Breakfast to visit the wineries, 6 of which they can walk to. But besides wineries, and world class restaurants, people sometimes want to know what else they can do while they visit the North Fork. In the first of a 5 part monthly blog series, we will look at some of the events scheduled for late spring, summer and fall. Some of these events are new, and some have been entertaining visitors for decades. Here is what is going on in the month of June:
