We all have our own versions of what we would define as a dream summer. For us, it involves a pink and white sunset over the horizon while enjoying a cold, crisp glass of wine in hand. Add to that a delightful charcuterie board filled with our favorite cheeses, all amidst the picturesque landscapes of lush vineyards. What may seem far-fetched, is surprisingly not; it’s an attainable reality waiting to be embraced in the heart of the Hamptons. Can you guess where? Hint: Summer In A Bottle.
Since 1988, Wölffer Estate Vineyard has been dedicated to crafting premium, distinctive wines, ciders, and spirits that perfectly define the essence of summer in every bottle. Their commitment to quality, style, and inherent celebration of place sets them apart, providing an unparalleled experience for all visitors.

Stepping into Wölffer Estate Vineyard takes you beyond the usual Hampton’s sea shanties, lobster dives, or beach days. Instead, you are invited to immerse yourself in the very vines that have been nurtured and cultivated for generations, allowing you to truly savor the timeless beauty of the vineyard.
Returning to the essence of summer, let’s dive into their offerings, which go beyond the typical wine-tasting experience. While that is one of the many experiences available, we highly recommend trying out more than just one.
In the early hours of the morning, start your day with Yoga in the Vines. Celebrating its 10th summer, this unique experience offers yoga, pop-up barre, pilates, or dance classes amidst the luscious grape vines, which you can later appreciate. As you embrace the serenity of the beautiful Wölffer Wine Stand, it sets the tone for the wonderful day ahead.

As the day continues, head over to the rustic-modern, Wölffer Tasting Room, overlooking the vineyards. Making a reservation (two weeks in advance) is a wise tip to ensure you enjoy a seated experience, where you can learn about and savor their award-winning wines while your attentive waitress or waiter explains them to you table-side.
You can also choose to embark on a vineyard tour – a guided journey through the vineyard where you’ll learn about the intricate winemaking process and discover the diverse grape varieties cultivated on the estate.

Now, if you happen to visit on a Friday or Saturday, The Wine Stand is where the magic happens. Whether you’re traveling from the city to the beach or just spending the day there, The Wine Stand offers the perfect opportunity to drink Wölffer wines and enjoy Live Music Fridays and Saturdays. And a friendly suggestion, bring a picnic blanket for added fun and comfort.
If you can’t make it to one of those experiences, you can make your way to Christian’s by Wölffer Estate in Amagansett. The restaurant is designed by the co-owners of Wölffer Estate, Joey Wölffer, and Marc Wölffer, as a homage to their father and the estate’s founder. Christian’s by Wölffer Estate offers a selection of family-friendly, locally sourced seasonal dishes, perfectly complemented by a comprehensive selection of Wölffer’s award-winning wines—another fabulous option if you ask us.
