Three Long Island Wineries in One Day From Hicksville Station
A private van runs the North Fork line, with the long tasting stop at Pindar and two shorter ones after it.
Pindar, Raphael and Lenz all sit on Route 25 in Peconic, out on the North Fork of Long Island. The three stops account for three hours of the day; the rest of the six or seven goes to the road.
This tour exists to solve the car problem. It forms up at the Hicksville LIRR station, runs east in a private van, and comes back to the same spot. One driver, one vehicle, one group that booked together.
The listing runs as a private tour, which means the van carries your party and nobody else. Bookings open at four people and cap at fourteen, and every traveler has to be twenty-one or older.
Private Long Island Wine Tour: Pindar, Raphael and LenzSix to seven hours by private van from the Hicksville LIRR station, with a guided tasting at Pindar and two shorter winery stops.www.viator.comTwo Hours at Pindar, and What They Cover
Pindar takes the long stop, two hours out of the day's six or seven. The tasting there is the one the ticket pays for, along with the entrance fee and the pours themselves.
A guide walks the group through the flight and talks through the property while it happens. The tasting room is a timber-framed barn with a bar down one wall and tables across a plank floor. Outside, the seating runs to round tables under lanterns on the patio.
Wine is the only thing covered at this stop. Anything you carry out of the shop is separate.
The Two Short Stops After It
Raphael and Lenz get thirty minutes each. Neither stop includes admission or a tasting in the ticket. What happens at those two is a look around the property and whatever you order at the bar yourself.
Raphael is the Mediterranean-styled estate of the three, cream stucco under a terracotta roof, with a lawn that runs out to the vine rows. Lenz sits further along the same road, lower and plainer, barrels stacked outdoors under the vines.
Thirty minutes covers a walk around and one glass. It does not cover a seated flight at either.
What the Per-Person Price Actually Does
The rate moves with how many people you bring, and the listing publishes all three bands. Four to six travelers pay 198 dollars each, seven to ten pay 195, and eleven to fourteen pay 178.
Four is the floor. A pair cannot book this one alone, and a group that grows past ten crosses into the lowest band. The spread between the top band and the bottom is twenty dollars a head.
Meals sit outside the price, and so do gratuities. The itinerary leaves room for an optional lunch at one of the wineries, paid for there.
Two Ways to Start the Day
The listing carries two options, and they start in different places. The standard one meets at Hicksville and runs six to seven hours; the other leaves from Manhattan's Penn Station and runs about nine.
The Penn Station version is 298 dollars per person at any group size from four to fourteen, in the same private van. The Hicksville version prices lower at every band, and it assumes you have already made your own way out to Hicksville.
Guiding is offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi. Tickets are mobile only, with nothing to print.
📍 The group forms up at the Dunkin' Donuts at the Hicksville LIRR Train Station, and the van returns to the same place at the end of the day. Everyone meets there, and the Hicksville option carries no hotel pickup.
The three wineries are at 37645 Main Road, 39390 Route 25 and 38355 Route 25, all in Peconic.
Cancelling is free up to twenty-four hours before departure, for a full refund. Inside that window nothing comes back.
