The Snail of Approval (SOA) award is a recognition of businesses that align with the Slow Food values of good, clean, and fair food for all. SOA has long been a mission for Slow Food. Each year, we highlight and promote businesses around the world that deserve recognition for their exceptional work in these areas.

Macari Vineyards is an exceptional example of a business that exemplifies the good, clean, and fair standards of Slow Food. Macari’s mission is to have a boutique winery that produces age-worthy wines in a regenerative, herbicide and pesticide-free agricultural environment.  As such, they have invested in on-property state-of-the-art storage and wine-making facilities. The goal is balanced, characterful, world-class wines.  For three generations, the Macari family has owned their North Fork vineyards, taking decades to nurture the soils with organic compost that has yielded award-winning vintages and international accolades. 

From White House State Dinners to wine club member’s dinner tables, Macari Vineyards is also known for its welcoming familial spirit and long-tenured staff — instrumental in the success of the winery. Together they have made an indelible, impactful mark on the local community by supporting community organizations, promoting healthy, agricultural initiatives, and by setting the standard for a positive work environment. 

We are so proud of our newest Snail Of Approval awardee, Macari Vineyards. Stop by for live music by the John Ludlow Trio and to taste world-class wines paired with small bites including cheese, charcuterie, and locally made empanadas.
