The Founding Vineyard

As the Founding Vineyard on the North Fork of Long Island, we are compelled to honor our roots and authenticity. When Ann Marie & Marco Borghese purchased the vineyard in 1999 their commitment was the same – grow the best grapes and produce the best “old world” style wines (taste our 2020 Reserve Pinot Noir, and you will see that dream has come to fruition.) Fast forward to present day; second generation, sole owner, Giovanni Borghese, is at the helm with the same level of passion.

We are a small team with a big heart and we love sharing our craft and proud history with our guests. While visiting wine country we encourage you to stop in andbring a picnic, take a selfie in front of our mural, and book a private tour. If looking to host an intimate event we have the perfect venue for all occasions.

Our Philosophy

We take pride in our local environment and connect to our terroir at every step of production. At Borghese Vineyard we prune, pick, bottle, cork, label, and distribute every bottle of our wine by hand. It is our passion to create old-world styles in our wines with minimal manipulation of product. That means low residual sugar, low sulfite levels, and patient aging to allow for optimal structure. Our goal is to farm in a way that maintains the relationships and integrity of our ecosystem.

Our Team

The Borghese Team looks forward to taking care of you on your visit to wine country. We can guide you through an informative discussion about our wines as well as lead you on a tour of our cellars. Helping you to learn about wine production, discover our region and discern new wines is both our pleasure and expertise.
