Photos from our Slow Hour at Peconic Bay Vineyards

We hosted our first Slow Hour earlier this summer, and it was a great success! Our Slow Hour events are a time to slow down, enjoy each other’s company, and some local wine. Thank you to our friends at Peconic Bay Vineyards for hosting us in their beautiful space, and for the delicious wine. And thank you to Hampton Oyster Co. for the fresh oysters! We had a blast, and we hope you’ll join us for our next Slow Hour. In the meantime, enjoy these photos from the event.

 

July 12: Walk & Wine at Peconic Land Trust with Saltbird Cellars

We are back with another Walk & Wine to celebrate and explore the edible garden at Peconic Land Trust and to sip local wine from Saltbird Cellars. Please join us on July 12, from 5 pm – 7:30 pm as we enjoy a guided tour with Peconic Garden Director Rick Bogusch, who will teach us about the work they do and their edible garden!

Tickets are $50 each, or $40 for Slow Food East End members or Bridge Gardens members. They can be purchased from Peconic Land Trust by phone (631-283-3195) or email (events@peconiclandtrust.org).

Space is limited, so we request you reserve your tickets in advance! Rain date is July 13.

Salt Bird Cellars is located on the North Fork. Saltbird Cellars’ winemaker Robin Epperson-McCarthy grew up sailing the Peconic waters and has been inspired by the cooler micro climate of the East End and other cool climate regions where she has worked and trained to focus on making unique wines that honor the distinctive maritime terrier where Saltbird vines are grown. Come taste her new releases, plus enjoy freshly made bread provided by Flour Power and Truly Grass Fed.
