It’s been a really, really beautiful summer here on the North Fork. Beach days, biking, farm stand shopping, music and dancing (what a season for Dances in the Park!), lobster rolls, lobster rolls, lobster rolls (did we mention lobster rolls?), sunny days and sunsets, plays and performances (shoutout to this year’s Ferry Tales at the Shelter Island Historical Society!), boat days and lines in the water, clinking glasses with friends and family…
And there’s more. Summer isn’t over yet: On Thursday, August 29, head to Borghese Vineyard (17150 Middle Road, Cutchogue) for the 3rd annual Northforker wine and food classicsour signature late summer tasting event featuring bites and drinks from local restaurants, breweries and wineries. More than 50 vendors will delight you with their culinary delights, and you can make it your personal mission to sample all of the small plates and craft beverages. Don’t worry, you’ll easily burn off the extra calories when In the Groove takes the stage – we challenge you not to dance.
“We’re excited and ready for next Thursday night – our tent will be up early next week. This Northforker event has quickly become an annual tradition and gets better every year,” says Andrew Olsen, publisher of Times Review Media. “We have a great mix of sponsors as well as local restaurants, chefs, wineries and breweries that make this a great evening.”
