Palmer Vineyards was established by Robert Palmer in 1983 on land that used to be a potato field in the Riverhead area. The winery is headed up by Miguel Martin, a Spaniard from Andalucia, who has spent the last 10 years adapting his European skills to the sandy soils of Long Island. He was the first in the region to plant Albariño which has become a huge success for the winery – selling out every year.
Palmer Vineyards is a picturesque place to enjoy a variety of lovingly crafted wines. Owned and operated by wine aficionado Robert Palmer, who crafts each wine with care and skill. The wine tasting bar offers a relaxed setting for guests to sample the range of red, white, and sparkling wine on offer.
The tasting room is set in the wine cellar. There you can decide between wine inside or outside on the porch with sweeping views of vines, ponds and rolling hills. The wine list is extensive with over 100 wines offered by the glass.
Inside you are greeted with a fireplace, high ceilings, exposed beams and polished wood floors. The bar located towards one end of the wine cellar features 9 different wines to taste by the glass as well as an impressive range of American whiskies. You can also buy any wine at retail price to take away with your wine club membership card.
