AREA GUIDE
As you drive out east from the City, the landmass of Long Island splits in two: on the South Fork are the tony towns of East Hampton and Montauk; on the North Fork, farmland and wineries unroll all the way to the ocean. This is pastoral Americana fueled in recent years by creative folks looking to get back in touch with the land. Nature is in her sheer glory and abundance on the North Fork, a place where you never need to see another soul if you so wish! Then, at the tip of it all is the town of Greenport, which for four centuries has drawn pioneering settlers whom today we’d call entrepreneurs and influencers. No one comes to this fishing town to see and be seen. You come to unplug, to escape, to reconnect, to be one with nature, perhaps even at the point you are extracting the last slurp of a local oyster or spotting the constellations beside a beach fire. Stop by and get lost with us as we rediscover our nature.

For Claudia Purita, sustainability and self-reliance have always been a way of life. Growing up on her family’s farm in Calabria, Italy, Claudia assisted in growing vegetables and wine grapes and raising small animals from very young age. At her father, Domenico’s, side she learned to value the land and the fruits that it provides. After moving to Long Island and spending several years in the restaurant industry, Claudia decided it was time to “return to her roots.” Much of the vineyard was hand planted and each vine has been meticulously tended to by Claudia’s exacting touch. Day in and out, she has labored, largely by herself, to produce the highest quality fruit. The superiority of her work is evident in each of the wines made from the vineyard. A few sips will lead you to appreciate just what one woman’s hard work can produce.
