Trips to Wine Country and More!

Welcome to Grape Getaways, offering day trips from New York City to wineries on Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and beyond. We have been offering excursions to wine country since 2004.

Our typical trip includes a prompt morning departure from midtown at 9:30 AM, visits to approximately 3 wineries, and a return back to Manhattan in time for supper at roughly 6:30 pm, depending on traffic. From time to time we also organize weekend trips as well, such as our special "Winter Wine Weekend" held last March. Our goal is to visit a variety of wineries each season - so no single trip is the same.

Each excursion includes round trip transportation, lunch, tours and tastings at the wineries as well as wine appreciation pointers. Time permitting we may also stop at a local farm stand. We try to make our trips fun and informative. Naturally, you will also be able to purchase wine while visiting the wineries. What better way to make new friends while enjoying a trip to the countryside (and of course, you leave the driving to us!)
