Long Island Food Critic

Long Island Wine Country.Com hosted their 12th Annual Harvest Fest Celebration on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at the lovely Laurel Lake Vineyards located on Long Island's North Fork.

The goal of this event was to provide guests with a fun-filled, educational day- and that's exactly what they got!

All guests were invited to be hands-on and take part in numerous demonstrations, presentations and many other exciting, instructive events, including clipping the vines, picking the grapes, VIP tour of the wine cellar and viewing the crush and wine making process. Guests also had the opportunity to participate in an exciting Barrel Rolling Contest!

Aside from some sensational cheese samplings, a delicious lunch was also served, prepared by renowned chefs Tom Schaudel & Adam Lovette.

While wine filled the glasses, live music filled the air as guests enjoyed various entertainments at the picturesque vineyard.

With all the options available, guests in attendance were privileged to a unique behind the scenes view at Laurel Lake Vineyards while enjoying fine food, wine and countless entertaining activities!
