Bike Tours Through North Fork Wine Country

Owner

There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Long Island’s North Fork than by bicycle. With its flat terrain, winding country roads, and endless views of vineyards, farmland, and water, the North Fork is made for leisurely rides. A bike tour through wine country offers a chance to slow down, explore hidden gems, and soak up everything this peaceful corner of Long Island has to offer.

Pedal Through Vineyards, Breweries, and Farm Stands

The North Fork is best known for its award-winning vineyards, but it’s also home to craft breweries, farm stands bursting with fresh produce, and charming villages filled with boutiques and cafes. A bike tour lets you connect these experiences at your own pace, whether you’re sampling local wines, picking up fresh strawberries, or simply enjoying the sea breeze along Peconic Bay.


What to Expect

Most bike routes are gentle, making them accessible even for casual riders. Expect to cover anywhere from 10 to 20 miles, with plenty of stops along the way. Some riders prefer self-guided tours, planning their own route between vineyards and attractions, while others opt for organized group tours that include guides, tastings, and even picnic lunches. Bike rentals are readily available throughout the area, including single and tandem bikes, and many rentals include helmets, locks, and route maps.


Highlights Along the Way

  • Visits to award-winning wineries and boutique breweries
  • Tastings of local wines, craft beers, ciders, and olive oils
  • Farm stand stops for fresh fruits, pies, jams, and flowers
  • Scenic rides past sprawling vineyards, horse farms, and coastal views
  • Historic landmarks and picturesque villages like Greenport and Mattituck


The Best Time to Ride

Late spring through early fall is ideal for biking the North Fork. The roads are lined with blooming wildflowers in spring, the summer brings lush vineyard landscapes, and autumn offers the added beauty of fall foliage and harvest season. Weekdays are quieter on the roads and at the tasting rooms, but weekends buzz with energy and live music at many stops.


Make It a Getaway

Biking through the North Fork is more than just a day trip—it’s an experience best paired with a night or two at a cozy local inn or bed and breakfast. After a day of riding, there's nothing better than relaxing with a glass of wine, a good meal, and a soft bed, surrounded by the peacefulness of the countryside.


Stay at Arbor View House

Make your North Fork adventure even more memorable with a stay at Arbor View House Bed and Breakfast. Located in the heart of wine country, our B&B offers luxurious accommodations, award-winning breakfasts, and personalized service to help you make the most of your biking and tasting adventures. After a day on the road, unwind with a spa treatment, a glass of local wine, and the peace and quiet of our gardens. We look forward to welcoming you.
