The holidays on the North Fork are nothing short of magical. Glittering lights along Main Road, cozy tasting rooms warmed by the hum of laughter, and that unmistakable crisp air that smells faintly of pine and sea salt. But there’s one vineyard that consistently takes this seasonal splendor to the next level, blending culture, community, and craftsmanship into every glass poured and every event hosted, and that’s RGNY.
This family-owned and operated vineyard, rooted in both the beauty of the North Fork and the richness of Mexican heritage, has created a brand that feels effortlessly on trend yet deeply meaningful. From the moment you step onto the property, you can sense that RGNY isn’t just making wine; they’re curating an experience. This season, their event lineup celebrates not just the holidays, but also togetherness, creativity, and community.
“This holiday season, we invite you to join us for a weekend-long celebration amongst family and friends,” shared the RGNY team. “Whether it be a Christmas Dinner benefitting OLA of Eastern Long Island, a Brunch with Santa, Wreathmaking with Hometown Flower Co., building gingerbread houses, or crafting your own holiday red blend, we hope to cultivate a sense of belonging and extend the table for all who seek it, innovating toward a more sustainable world for our community.”
And that’s exactly what they’re doing. RGNY’s Vino la Navidad celebrations are a spirited invitation to sip, create, and connect.
RGNY’s Holiday Weekend Celebration, held December 12 to 14, is packed with festive activations. On Friday, December 12, holiday baskets are 50 percent off, and there’s a creative Holiday Happy Hour with VEME. On Saturday, December 13, there will be Gingerbread House Decorating, a Wine Club Pick-Up Party, and a pay-what-you-wish Community Dinner benefiting OLA. On Sunday, December 14, enjoy Santa Brunch a la Mexicana and Wreathmaking with Hometown Flower Co.
Sweeten your season with the hands-on gingerbread workshop, the perfect way to mix sugar, sparkle, and sips. Whether you’re gathering your friend group for a festive happy hour or spending Sunday afternoon with family, this is where imagination and icing meet vineyard charm.
If you’ve ever dreamed of being a winemaker, here’s your chance. RGNY’s Create Your Own Holiday Blend experience lets you craft and bottle your own red blend, a personal touch to share or keep. Guided by a wine expert, you’ll experiment with varietals like Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, while nibbling on artisanal snacks.
And if you can’t make it to the vineyard? The Blending Session in a Box brings the experience to you, a beautifully packaged kit complete with tasting tools, a bottle of Scielo Tinto, and everything you need to blend from home or gift to a fellow wine lover.
For a more relaxed gathering, RGNY’s Holiday Happy Hour is the answer. Designed for offices, friend groups, or anyone looking to toast the season, this two-hour tasting room experience includes wine (or beer and non-alcoholic options), guacamole, tacos, churros, and a bottle of Tinto to take home — wrapped and ready to gift.
Few things bring people together like food and purpose. The Dinner Navideño is a heartfelt celebration of community and connection, benefiting OLA of Eastern Long Island, an organization that empowers Latino communities across the East End. Every glass poured supports meaningful change, a true embodiment of the RGNY spirit.
For families, Brunch con Santa blends holiday magic with vineyard elegance. Kids can meet Santa and nibble on festive treats, while adults enjoy Scielo mimosas and a relaxed, joyful ambiance that feels authentically North Fork, with just the right hint of Mexican flair.
Creativity blooms at RGNY’s Wreathmaking Workshop, where guests craft their own festive wreaths using fresh, local greens. With a glass of wine in hand and charcuterie by your side, this workshop captures the essence of cozy, hands-on holiday joy.
As the RGNY team so perfectly puts it, “As we gather with our loved ones this season, we celebrate another year of achievements and look forward to what’s ahead. It’s a moment to reflect on our origins, honor the diverse voices that shape RG, and set the tone for the New Year. Vino is the gateway, and RG is the journey.”
Vino la Navidad cheers to new memories, new blends, and new beginnings on the North Fork.
