First, hit the beach and let your dogs run free! What a better way to let loose and tire out your dog than with a walk/run on the beach (leashed or unleashed).

Enjoy your lunch on the beach, then visit the dog-friendly wineries on the North Fork of Long Island for some of the most wonderful wine in the country. North Fork wines are fast becoming renowned for their exquisite taste. We’ll take part in private wine tastings at two extraordinary vineyards. Transportation, and tastings fees are included. Pack your own lunch; and bring treats and water for your dog(s) for the beach.
