PHOTOS: LICVB While Long Island is often noted for its 100 miles of white- sand beaches and its celebrity-studded Hamptons scene, most people don’t know the region is also one of the top agricultural producers in New York State. In addition to fresh seafood and farm-grown produce, the region is home to more than 60 vineyards, dozens of craft brewers (including a well-known and unique Toasted Lager from a town called Blue Point) and a distillery using locally grown potatoes and water from an ancient aquifer. Once here, you’ll relax into a meandering pace that will take you through quaint seaside villages rich with fishing and maritime culture and along rural roads that wind through acres of farmland and vineyards. Discover a fantastic craft-beverage “trail” populated by the efforts of local brewers, distillers and vintners and supported by the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The area’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean makes it an ideal growing region, with moderating temperatures beneficial to the production of excellent wines with growing conditions similar to noted wine-producing regions in the north of France, such as Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. The region’s wines have consistently earned plaudits from critics, including those at Wine Spectator, The New York Times and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate to name a few. Meanwhile, some of the best fishing can be had on Long Island. You can fish from a dock or the beach, but for better angling opportunities, head out on a party boat or on a charter boat and enjoy calm bay fishing; or book an exciting ocean charter. Without doubt, beaches will delight the whole family for hours on end, but Long Island has much more to offer: Visitors will find all sorts of food festivals and fairs; shoppers will delight in the shops and boutiques that dot the quaint downtown villages; and a tour through the Hamptons’ museums and galleries will show its deep artistic and avant- garde history.
