Our Vineyard
Established in 2003, Harbes Vineyard was planted on a boulder-strewn, south-facing slope near the Long Island Sound. Carefully selected Chardonnay and Merlot clones were chosen to produce wines with exceptional aroma and flavor. In 2019, the vineyard expanded with the addition of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Franc vines. Further diversifying its offerings, an acre of Malbec vines was planted in 2024. Cheers!

What They’re Saying
“Harbes is now my favorite vineyard experience on the North Fork. Tucked away off Sound Avenue is a little barn, beautifully restored on the inside to make for a perfect tasting room. The wines make the experience even better. I’ve yet to try a wine on LI that I really liked. Could tolerate? Yes. Was satisfied with? Yes. But was impressed by? No…not until Harbes, at least.” – Meghan M.
