RGNY in Riverhead presents its 2025 Harvest Series, an annual lineup of immersive events that invite guests to experience the vineyard’s most exciting season: harvest. In collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension, this year’s series features chef-driven dining, grape stomping, hands-on harvesting, and a vibrant cultural celebration.
The series begins with Dinner in the Vines on Friday, August 29. Surrounded by nature’s quiet abundance, guests will gather for an open-air, communal dinner amidst the vines. The evening’s seasonal menu is crafted by acclaimed local chef Ryan Carroll of Wild Events, known for his farm-to-table cuisine and Mattituck-grown mushrooms.
Festivities continue on Sunday, September 7, with a Stomp Party. Slip off your shoes, stomp grapes, and dance to live salsa music at this interactive vineyard party. Wines will be flowing and spirits soaring. Lunch by Ammirati’s of Love Lane includes artisanal sandwiches.
The Help Us Harvest event will be held on Sunday, October 12. For those curious about what it takes to craft exceptional wine, Help Us Harvest offers a rare behind-the-scenes opportunity. Participants will hand-pick grapes, sort fruit alongside winemaker Leo Mora, and toast their efforts with sparkling wine, brunch bites by The Treatery or Braun’s Seafood, and two additional glasses of wine.
The series concludes with the Día de los Muertos celebration on Saturday, November 1. As harvest comes to a close, gather to honor tradition, ancestry, and the cyclical beauty of life and death.
