Owned and operated by the parents of a Fordham alumnus, Macari Vineyards is on the cutting edge of viticulture and is dedicated to a more natural approach to winemaking.

Here you will enjoy a guided tour of the vineyard and production facility that will take you through the sprawling acres of vines, through their tank room and into the barrel cellar. Sample four of Raphael’s hand-crafted wines that reflect a pure expression of the unique climate and soil of the North Fork.
