Palmer Vineyards

Iconic North Fork winery with 49 acres of rolling vines, daily tastings, live music, and year-round welcome.

Nestled along scenic Sound Avenue in Riverhead, Palmer Vineyards was founded in 1983 by visionary vintner Bob Palmer. From its humble beginnings on gravelly farmland, it has flourished into one of the North Fork’s most celebrated estate wineries. The vineyard spans nearly 50 lush acres, offering award-winning wines crafted with exacting care and reflecting the region’s unique terroir. At Palmer, the tasting room feels effortlessly welcoming—with walk-ins accepted year-round (reservations prioritized for larger groups) and leashed dogs welcome on the outdoor patio. Seasonal events like “Sunset Friday with Pizza & Live Music” add an enchanting layer to the experience, blending vineyard views with local charm and convivial ambiance. Whether you’re wine-curious or looking for a refined yet unpretentious outing, Palmer Vineyard creates memorable moments under open skies.
