What's in the box: The site does not describe box contents, so it is unclear what a typical shipment or membership includes.
Sannino Vineyard is a family owned winery in Cutchogue, on the North Fork of Long Island. Anthony and Lisa Sannino run it and have done so since 2006, when they bought a 5 acre vineyard and homestead. The estate has since added 17 more acres of vines and a 5 room bed and breakfast. Vine to Wine is aimed at people curious about how wine gets made. That suits the winery's focus on boutique production, sustainable growing and educational comparative tastings, and visitors get a look inside the winemaking facilities. Shoppers should know this is not a typical mail order box. The site points to wine clubs, classes and events, but it does not say what a Vine to Wine membership includes, how often anything arrives or what it costs. You will likely need to call or email the winery to find out. Much of the appeal comes from visiting in person, so it makes the most sense for people who live near the North Fork or plan to stay at the B&B. The tasting room is open every day, so it is easy to stop in and ask questions before you sign up. If you want a hands-on connection to a small Long Island producer, it is worth a look. If you want a clearly defined box delivered to your door, look elsewhere.
