African american hostess was extremely rude. She turned my group away when there were many open tables. Right after we sat by the bar she started seating all the walk-ins. When I asked her why she said she was just a little backed up when I wanted to be seated. Horrible service and I will not be returning.
The space is huge and besides the great selection of wines, it is a beautiful location. I'm not a wine expert, but I just loved the place. Could spend my entire day just having wine and walking around. Also, staff is very friendly and they explain a lot about the wines
Beautiful location in the vineyard, great terrace, very good wines that remind a little bit of Germany ;-)
Beautiful winery in East Hampton. Their food and wines are great. Our tour guide Julia was very friendly and witty. I also like their pretty branding package.
This place is beautiful. The environment, the wine tasting and the food are delicious.
Top tier vineyard. The facilities were immaculate, the wine was delicious and everyone was extremely friendly. We did a tasting tour, our guide Savanah was fantastic, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! She made the experience that much better. We loved it, would definitely recommend!
The cheese and charcuterie selections and presentations were incredible. Not a huge fan of the wine flight, but that is personal preference. Service was decent, location and atmosphere beautiful!
My wife and I came here for a bite to eat and shared a wine flight. The cheese and charcuterie plate was incredible and we really enjoyed the wines. We sat outside on a colder day but they had heaters out which made it really comfortable so you could still sit outside and enjoy the scenery. It made for a great day out east. Looking forward to going back again soon.
We recently purchased a house out in Sag Harbor and having spent some time living out in SF and Napa we were excited to get to know the local wineries. Our first experience at Wolffer was fine, we arrived before closing and tasted some good wines with friends, server was nice but rushed as it was closing soon, expected in new york. We rent our house out frequently so we even decided to recommend some guests visit. As most loyal wine drinkers do we decided to join the wine club, we signed up like we did out in Napa and were excited for our pickup. This is when the winery really let us down, we received an email to go pickup our first shipment, we drove over to pick up and do some drinking. When we arrived we spoke to a lady who seemed to be a waitress about picking up our shipment and opening a bottle, she looked at us with disgust and said NO you cannot do that and walked away, I have never met someone so rude in my life. So we have just purchased wine and we can't open a bottle and purchase food and enjoy it? We then went into the room to pickup our shipment, we were treated like cattle, no personal touch or thanks so much for being a member, we again inquired about opening a bottle and enjoying it, rudeness continued, well the shipments are cheaper so you have to buy more wine to drink it here, ok well at least now we understood why instead of someone just saying NO and walking away. I understand you are catering to a different crowd then Napa but being polite to guest and members is standard anywhere. We will not return and cancel our membership, please hire some actual professionals to run your wine program.
Bring a picnic blanket and sit outside - gets crowded on weekends but is the perfect place to spend an afternoon/early evening in East Hampton
Overall lovely evening of wine tasting. The atmosphere is beautiful both inside and outside you really can t get a bad seat. It was a little slow service wise but the wine and atmosphere was great
We came on a Thursday morning and had personal service with explanations of how each wine is different and how it was produced. The inside is newly renovated with a casual rustic ambiance. The charcuterie/cheese plate was amazing with the stone ground mustard and quince (delicious fruit spread) on crackers. Definitely worth a visit!
Best vineyard out east, including the ones in riverhead
Beautiful decor
Great ambience
Good apps
Beautiful scenery
Great service
I visited for my friends bachelorette
party. We had zack as our expertise for the wine. We had a great time. The weather was a little chilly but there is an enclosed section that has heaters (that s where we were). We chose a package to taste the different types of wine and have something to eat that would compliment each wine. . The food was fantastic I wish we had lots of it but it was sooo good. Zach as really smart and knew his wine well and taught us a bunch of stuff that we didn t know. He was so nice to us and cracked some jokes, we felt very comfortable. Next time I come here, I will definitely be requesting Zach as my expertise
This venue is beautiful. I have no complaints about the scenery, wine or food. I m giving this vineyard 2 stars for it s unprofessionalism. We had reservations made for the terrace area. They have a sign on each table saying that masks must be worn at all times when walking around, but there were large groups of people taking pictures near the field without masks. The waiters were passing by them without saying anything. Some people were told not to go further than 2 feet into the field, but others got away with it. Their rules aren t reinforced. The one thing that really upset me was the fact that my friends and I left our purses and summer hat on the table to take pictures of the venue. When we returned to our table, there was another party sitting there. There were more than enough vacant, large tables available right next to ours. They touched our personal belongings and placed them on top of the front entrance desk. The waitress or any other staff member could have easily told us to remove our belongings for the next party. No one had ever mentioned that there was a 90 min or 2 hour stay. I would ve preferred for them to warn us about the time limit than to touch my things. We didn t even get to finish our bottle of wine. I cannot believe that during covid they touched our purses and my hat and placed it on a table near the entrance where people are just walking in and out without a mask. I don t even know whether or not they had gloves on when they touched our belongings. After over a $300 bill, I would have expected them to be more professional and sanitary.
A great environment, great wine, great food and great service. If you love vineyards, this is a must see.
Share a tasting and save! Really like their Rieslings.
Beautiful location. Staff are fantastic. Come with a lot of people and spend some quality time
Wine are good across the board. Friday and Saturday nights during the summer they have live music which is a lot of fun. Kids love the music and can run around. All this awesomeness comes a price. They are probably the most expensive winery to visit.
Very pretty... but horrible service. My husband and I walked in the tasting room asked the bartender if its okay if we sat outside and she said yes, I will send someone right over... 20 minutes later nothing! So we decided to walk inside and sit down 10 minutes later... nothing! My husband had to ask a passing waitress if we could be helped. She seemed annoyed and asked what we wanted. Brought us our wine and we never saw her again. We had to get up for napkins and our check. We will not be returning.
Such a beautiful place! Delicious wine, food! Amazing service! Try estate flatbread!!!!
Amazing place, exceptional and friendly service by all members of staff. The wine pairings menu is excuisite! Highly recommend!!
Sold out. There was a time when it would get 5 stars my wife and I have been visiting the Vinyard since the mid nineties every summer on the weekend, sometimes weekdays. This year it became almost impossible to get in without a reservation and the not so friendly girl in the parking lot made it clear we could only stand at the bar. The first three visits we were greeted by a friendly receptionist who seated us on the interior which was perfect. But, this weekend, upon driving up, a man greeted us and said "the boss just told staff no walk-ins today." The odd thing was previously it was so busy we had to park around by the Vinyard, today, there were plenty of spaces in the lot. He apologized and said the wine stand was open. After an hour and half drive, wasn't much of a choice and we gave it a try.
The stand was overly crowded, ok, we were here and waited. Ordered our usual bottle of cabernet franc, interesting that the bottle was still priced at $44 without table service. Along with that, our favorite charcuterie plate, which wasn't even close to what you get at the estate, although $35 same price.
Fantastic wine and a beautifully built out winery to visit. You can book a lunch or dinner on their large back patio, overlooking the vines. This would be a dreamy location for a private event!
Estate is beautiful, wine good, service really inconsistent
We had a great time here at the estate. We did the two flights which at the time were the rose and then then standard flight two whites and two reds (we then added on the $100+ taster to the flight as that was the one not included we wanted to try)
Did the 35$ board with mix of cheese and meats (server was nice to let us sub the cheeses we wanted which makes that pick the easiest on the menu economically speaking)
It was freezing and windy but we still sat outside to catch the views and the charm on the vineyard.
Given the temperature we opted not to do the tour which we will do upon our return.
I hate to say a must do as it was already very crowded, but it is a must do.
Great spot.
Only reason not a 5 is that the service could have been slightly better, only marginally, the flow or the layout was not the best for just lounging, and the prices were simply too high. The wine is good mind you, but to try and command 1.5-3x on the market for good wine is a lot.
Overall for experience though, it was a blast.
Extremely busy on the weekend.
Hard to grab a server s attention but worth a trip for a small group tasting.
Right now it s too early to see any greens on vines.
Drove 1.5 hours to find out vineyard was closed on a Saturday. I saw in another post it is listed on the website but one would not think to check events before coming to a vineyard. It should be more clearly marked.
Great atmosphere for a wine tasting. Beautiful outdoor seating area faces vineyards. Not a big fan of their wine selections.
The tour and tasting was amazing. We were a group of ten and Wolffer was very accomodating. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the process from vine to barrel and tasting some amazing wines. Next time is love to stick around and try a meal paired with the delicious wine.
What a disappointing experience. The location is stunning and the wine is great, however it doesn't make up for the moments this establishment drops the ball. I'll get to the service in a moment, but something my friend and I felt was the biggest issue currently was the lack of mask wearing. Staff were wearing them under the nose or taking them off at times to 'breathe'. Plus, not enforcing guests to wear them when moving around the space. I've eaten out at a few other places with outdoor dining and there have been zero issues on this front. The service was terrible, we waited over 30 mins for our first glass of wine, with a 1.5 hour time limit on the seating, we wanted to have a few of glasses of wine but only fit in two after the waitress forgot out second order. Everyone working there just seemed like they were incredibly unhappy. It all felt very amateur. Such a shame, it just doesn't make me want to go back.
Highly recommend the tour & tasting. What a perfect way to spend a weekend afternoon. We had the best Saturday wandering the property, then tasting the different wines in their gorgeous tasting room. Food wasn't bad either.
Highly recommend it and can't wait to go back.
The best experience. Beautiful vineyard, perfect atmosphere and great wines. Special thanks to the manager Myles!
Beautiful setting and amazing wine! Can't ask for more. We had their summer in a bottle in white and rose and they did not disappoint! But FYI, they're $50 each vs. $25 at their store inside.
I ve been here twice now with friends since it is a trendy place. FYI there are no grapes on the vine in November. Overall, great food and service! We sat indoors and tables were spaced far apart. You come here for the experience, and it s worth it (but does come at a price).
I didn t drink wine but I was with 4 friends who ordered the colorful cider flight (pictured below).
hostesses are extremely rude. They did not acknowledge me and kept serving others before me even after I said so. They re also not clear with seating. Disappointed me because I used to love coming here
love the Pinot Grigio and good times with my friends after fishing all day. This place is why my third home is located in Bridgehampton.
Only 4 stars because my auto was bumped last time i visited, and the manager was indifferent. Still, the quality of past experiences leave me with only one star off of five.
Customer service is EXCELLENT. Wine and the accompanying food menu of course also GREAT. Highly recommend for persons on weekend vacation in the Hamptons.
Beautiful sprawling vineyard with a gorgeous manor playing host to guests. Not to mention amazing wine selection!
Beautiful location, customer service was terrible. Wait staff not very friendly.
Lovely experience. Waitstaff was kind, thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable. Venue is gorgeous and very comfortable.
I loved the ambiance and although I m not the biggest wine lover it was a really nice time. The hostess explained all the different wines and grapes.
During the quarantine I was able to order and receive wine in under two days for great prices. Shipping was easy to track, packaging was perfectly done. Most importantly though the Cabernet franc and red blends I received were delicious! Cheers!
Nice vineyard. Food and wine were great...highly reccomend the flatbread.
Great rose and white wine! Amazing atmosphere and snack food.
This is a beautiful vineyard. It was decorated so nicely for the holidays too. We made reservations for a table online but i accidentally made it for a Sunday instead of a saturday. The staff was very accommodating and were able to seat us right away anyways. The wine was great and i liked that we were able to pick our own stuff to build a cheese plate
The space is huge and besides the great selection of wines, it is a beautiful location. I'm not a wine expert, but I just loved the place. Could spend my entire day just having wine and walking around. Also, staff is very friendly and they explain a lot about the wines
Wonderful..love Wolffer. The staff is amazing and the experience is always memorable.
The best winery in the hamptons, gets extremely crowded though
Private Tour by Pam was excellent !!! We loved it. Miles and staff were so courteous and professional. Loved the Merlot and Sauvignon blanc tasting!!
Beautiful! They do a great job especially at this crazy time
Such a beautiful place! Delicious wine, food! Amazing service! Try estate flatbread!!!!
Fantastic wine at a beautiful location and great service.
I had a wonderful experience here. We did the tour and wine tasting. Kristen, our server, was knowledgeable and personable. Vanessa was dedicated to making sure we had a positive experience. I would definitely come back here!
beautiful outdoor table settings, great place for sun and wine
I came here for my sisters 30th birthday and our waiter Paris made it the best one yet! Thank you so much Paris, and thank you Wolffer for the delicious wine. The cheese and charcuterie board is very worth it. I m smiling writing this review - such great memories were made
Absolutely no regard for industry professionals who purchase their wine for retail. Came in for tasting with colleague to sample wines to possibly purchase for shop and was subsequently billed for the tasting despite doing business with them for years. This is not industry practice ANYWHERE! I ve tasted wines all over Long Island, NYC and many Wine Regions in the world and I have NEVER had that experience. Totally classless trying to make a dime off of people they ve done business with. They are a pure waitstaff sit down and bill customers like a restaurant type of vineyard.
I ve been to the vineyard as a wine lover for eighteen years, knew Christian Wolffer and after his passing the attitude has been deplorable. Despite this I continued to promote their attempt in creating quality wine and once I began working in the industry promoted them in the shop. NO MORE!
This absence of courtesy, lack of respect to loyalty and poor business practice is atrocious. I will say Roman Roth the wine maker is a class act. He has a stake in the vineyard and it s a shame he has to bear witness to egocentric profiteers who d sacrifice relationships for a buck. To anyone who reads this use it as a word of caution and know what you re getting into. I will be sharing this experience with many professionals in the industry.
My wife and I waited on line to get our order taken. We were up. The waitress makes eye contact with my wife, we re waiting. Red head cuts the line and is instantly taken care of. This occurred 3 times. The fact that it seems like a norm to treat or ignore paying patrons like dirt because they don t look like everybody else is disgusting and disappointing.
Overrated. Staff wouldn t let us go outside even for a few minutes, even though there were a dozen tables free. Not very smart and not very good service.
Beautiful estate, very clean and everyone is super polite
My wife and I have now made 4 attempts to visit your winery. Each time the winery was closed to the public. I'm assuming for some sort of private event. Normally this would be okay if I lived close to the winery, but we dont. With traffic, there's always traffic, it takes almost 90 minutes to get there. Needless to say, we have no further desire to make yet another futile trek unless we are guranteed to get in.
Did you ever think of sending emails notices to your list giving them a heads up on when you are closed?
How about a notice on your site?
Great experience every time! Love the summer in a bottle wine!
Nice winery and super scenic vineyard! Was directed to the "winestand" around the corner from the main winery area due to a wedding. The winestand had a live band and lots of outdoor seating. Chartreuserie board was worth it.
What a horrible experience. This was suppose to be our first experience in wine tasting & it was horrible. We was greeted & then seated but after that, the service was horrible. We stood there for 15 mins waiting for someone to even acknowledge us. People that came after us was being served. Beautiful place but bad service. The only thing I took with me, were pictures. I guess our time & money wasn't good enough for this winery.
Well we got there a very polite hostess led us to a table right by the wine tasting bar because they give you a choice of the bar or a table we watched and waited for about 10 to 15 minutes. no one came to the table to ask if we were OK or did we need anything. so we got up quietly and left. on the way out someone did tell us to have a good day. So with that being said not a good experience at wolffer estate Vinyard.
Waste of time and money. The service is poor and disorganized. They seem to think people owe them their business.
Rude rude and rude!!!! Spent over $599 here and was told by the hostess that my party was talking too loud!!! We were all laughing and having a good time. This was on a Saturday when the place was packed. I'm hearing impaired and I need for my friends to speak at a higher volume above the background noise. I'm sorry but is this a library??? This place is Pretentious and trying very hard to be shi shi! Honey, let's remember one thing.... Just because you are in the "hamptons" you are still on Long Island. And Long Islanders speak loud, have fun, and let loose!
I had a wonderful experience here. We did the tour and wine tasting. Kristen, our server, was knowledgeable and personable. Vanessa was dedicated to making sure we had a positive experience. I would definitely come back here!
Beautiful winery but some rude staff. I feel that after everything people have endured this year, if you choose to go to a place of business with service, the service should be exceptional. We were greeted by a rude hostess who was annoyed with us when we arrived. We had reserved a curated experience. We were sat at tables and were a group of ten so we knew and expected we were sitting at two different tables. She didn t want overwhelm the servers by putting us next to each other which was interesting since 30 minutes after we arrived every table was full. We realized we were not being sat where the curated experience and once WE brought that to their attention the hostess was annoyed again. She asked my sister in law to take her Bride sash off which was ridiculous as we were just looking for a beautiful day to celebrate, not looking for a rowdy time. She then said she d bring over champagne to make the bride feel special and that did not happen. At the end of the experience (which was awesome) she came running to me to collect the bill. Then once I paid she sent someone else to hand me the receipt and didn t come out to say thank you or even goodbye. The wine experience was lovely and food was delicious and our table host was so knowledgeable but a bit overshadowed by this rude attitude I walked into. We may not be or look like Hamptons elite but every customer and patron should be treated like they are.
The wine is amazing and the vineyards are beautiful!
Wonderful spot to have some wine on a sunny afternoon.
This place is stunning. The little tray of meat and cheese was really good. I also almost found a wine I really liked and that really says something seeing is how I'm a beer guy.
Great wine, great people, great atmosphere. More expensive than surrounding wineries.
Great vineyard experience, really nice indoor and outdoor seating options. Tasty wine, nice selection of cheese plates. Two different flight option were really great, they even have cider options. Definitely would go again. Use the website for easy reservations.
Awesome music with the Daniel Lauter quartet...great wine...serene setting.
