Tasting Garden

Unique among North Fork wineries, the quaint and cozy Croteaux tasting room opens up to a beautiful pebbled courtyard garden, surrounded by historic barns.
During the warmer months, guests are welcome to enjoy table service at any of our white umbrella tables. If the summer heat starts to get to you, you’re welcome to move into our cool barn lounge, where our singular “bottle wall” installation sings in the summer breeze.
Here at Croteaux, rosé means relax. So kick back, pick your favorite wine, and take in the iconic views.

each season brings an exceptional renaissance of natural beauty to our garden.

in full bloom

In the spring, the bloom of a large, weeping cherry tree enchants anyone that enters the garden, framed by the daffodils and forsythia blooming in every corner.

‘tis the season

Fall is crisp and cozy in the garden, with pumpkins, gourds and mums lining our barn steps and a glass of Jolie to complement the cooler weather.

harvest season

As summer heats up, tropical plants and colors emerge in the garden border with lush greenery from the welcome shade of a large cedar tree. Come harvest time, dahlias and mums spot the garden with vibrant reds and yellows well into fall.

winter wonderland

Each year, the tasting barn and garden closes for the winter and reopens for the season in the spring with new releases. Follow us on social for updates @croteauxvineyards!

Can you accommodate large parties & oversized vehicles?

Our tables in the tasting garden seat up to eight people. We are unable to accommodate larger parties due to the intimate setting of our vineyard. If you arrive with a party larger than eight, we will not separate your party into several tables. Please keep in mind that all oversized vehicles including shuttle vans, party buses, limos and sprinters are strictly prohibited on our property and are not allowed to drop off parties on South Harbor Road.

We serve a variety of light fare in-house ranging from sliced baguette with a homemade cheese spread to lobster roll sliders and dessert options. As such, outside food including celebration treats are not permitted. We can accommodate gluten-free and soy-free allergies if needed, but please be aware that cross-contamination is always possible.

We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing in outside table and party decor such as cups, balloons, flowers, etc. We work hard to make our garden a beautiful setting for you to enjoy with your group exactly as it is!

Well-behaved dogs are always welcome and must remain leashed at all times. Due to the intimate setting of our garden, you may be seated by other dogs or children. Please keep this in mind if your dog tends to be reactive.

Children are always welcome accompanied by an adult. We kindly ask that children remain seated with their group throughout the duration of your tasting experience.
