PALMER VINEYARDS & WINERY Aquebogue & Cutchogue, New York
LOCATION In little over a quarter of a century, the Long Island wine industry has grown from one small vineyard to 3,000 acres of vines and over fifty producers of world-class wines. Located in New York State, on the East Coast of the United States, Long Island extends some 120 miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Its maritime climate, geography and unique glacial soil characteristics provide ideal conditions for producing worldclass varietal wines of exceptional quality. The surrounding water gives off warmth to the East End that extends summer into a mellow fall, allowing ample time to ripen the grapes well into October and November. It also provides buffering breezes during the winter months, protecting the vineyards and allowing the region to be the largest producer of European grapes in the Northeast. The Long Island wine region encompasses Nassau and Suffolk Counties, with the majority of wineries and vineyards at the East End. Here, age-old growing techniques are combined with stateof-the-art technology to produce a range of world-class wines from specific varietals and selected blends. Long Island wines are increasingly sought after in fine restaurants and wine shops from coast to coast. Ideally located approximately 90 miles from Manhattan and minutes from the Long Island Expressway, Palmer Vineyards is a prime destination in the North Fork wine region welcoming 400 to 700 visitors a day to its winery during the summer and harvest season. From July through October, Palmer Vineyards hosts numerous events for the public, including art shows, live music and fall harvest activities as well as private events from black-tie weddings to casual vineyard luncheons.
PROPERTY Palmer Vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island is one of its older and most highly regarded wineries. It has become a significant part of the Long Island wine industry. Founded in 1983 by Robert Palmer, the majestic North Fork vineyard and winery operation in Aquebogue, consists of a 60.3 acre winery that houses a state-of-the-art wine production facility, a masterfully crafted 19th century English pub-style tasting house, historic 1757 Wells farmhouse, climate-controlled inventory facility, a two-acre building site with bucolic vineyards vistas and an additional residentially zoned one acre lot with barn. The vineyard in Cutchogue comprises 61.5 acres with more than 48 acres planted with premier varietals of Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. The property comes as a turnkey operation with the equipment and fixtures used in the operation of the vineyard and winery, bottled and bulk wine inventory, as well as a seasoned team of grape-growing professionals to manage the crops.

He has brought a global sensibility and international elegance to the Palmer team.

Palmer vineyards award winning wines include Gold, Silver and Bronze medals from the Beverage Tasting Institute World Wine Championships, awards from Tasters Guild International, Lodi International Wine Awards, San Francisco Chronicle, New York State Fair Wine Competition and the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition.
