The Wine Stand at 3312 Montauk Highway pours every Wölffer wine and cider by the glass or to-go, open daily 11am to 8pm above the estate's oldest Merlot field, planted in 1990. Walk-ins only. No outside food or beverage is permitted anywhere on the property, and no animals except ADA service animals. The year-round Tasting Room is a separate location at 139 Sagg Road.
Painter Robert Dash's artist's garden off Sagg Main Street, kept as he left it, with his historic summer studio showing contemporary art. Summer hours are Thursday to Sunday, 12pm to 4pm, booked through the garden's own calendar. Admission is free: a grant from the Barry Friedberg and Charlotte Moss Family Foundation waived the $10 fee. Dogs are not allowed, the paths and steps are uneven, and photography for personal use is fine while commercial shoots need a permit.
🍦 Afterwards: where to get ice cream on the East End.
