Peconic is located in the heart of the Long Island Wine Country, which is on the North Fork of the island. Long Island spans approximately 118 miles from the west end to the east end, with the east end fanning into what are referred to as the North Fork and the South Fork. The South Fork encompasses the famous “Hamptons” and the town of Sag Harbor, while the North Fork is where you’ll find Peconic and the peaceful wine country. The village of Peconic is actually located within the town of Southold. Long Island’s North Fork seems suspended in time and is decidedly more low key than the South Fork and the Hamptons. This area has a 350-year-old farming and fishing heritage that residents strive to maintain along with their tranquil lifestyle. The area around Peconic is beautiful, with uncrowded beaches, peaceful vineyards, lots of antique shops, quaint towns, farm stands and seafood restaurants. The North Fork is home to more than two dozen wineries and the village of Peconic has four that offer tastings and tours. Most of the wineries are clustered along a 15-mile stretch of Route 25. All of the other attractions of Long Island, including the Hamptons is just a short drive from Peconic.

Peconic Weather & Climate

Long Island enjoys a four-season, moderate climate, given its relatively northern latitude-which makes it a pleasant place to visit year-round. It is the largest island adjoining the continental United States, extending approximately 118 miles east-northeast from the mouth of the Hudson River, adjacent to Manhattan Island. Winters tend to be unpredictable and summers can be warm and muggy, but offshore breezes help moderate temperatures. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, when temperatures are mild. March tends to be rainy, but temperatures stay above freezing. April's warming temperatures makes it more comfortable and May is generally a gorgeous month on Long Island, weather wise. September to November is pleasant and mild, and the changing leaves make it a beautiful time to visit.
