Dog, Beach & Vine
North Fork Wine Tour and Beach Run with Your Dog!
A very special outing for you and your pooch. Join Discover Outdoors for a jaunt to the North Fork wineries, lunch and off-leash running on the beach! Could you—and your dog—be any happier?
First, hit the beach and let your dogs run free! What a better way to let loose and tire out your dog than with a run on the beach, leashed or unleashed.
We’ll have lunch at the beach (bring your own), then visit the dog-friendly wineries on the North Fork of Long Island for some of the most wonderful wine in the country. North Fork New York wines are fast becoming renowned for their exquisite taste. We’ll take part in two private wine-tastings at two extraordinary vineyards.

Common Questions About Dog, Beach & Vine
How far is the drive?
The drive is one hour from Manhattan.
Are the dogs all together in the van?
Yes, all the humans and dogs get to road trip together! It’s great fun.
What happens if a dog gets aggressive with my dog?
Anyone with an aggressive dog should not sign up for this trip. That said, dogs will be dogs, and a growl or snap here or there is nothing to worry about. It’s normal dog behavior that says, “You’re too close to my food dish, give me some room on the seat, etc.” No unneutered males allowed.
My dog can be protective of me and crabby to other dogs in the city. Should I be worried about coming along?
If your dog is otherwise good-tempered, what you’re probably seeing in the city is leash aggression. We live in an unnatural environment (the city) and on leash, dogs can get territorial, because the feel a little trapped by being on leash. In the woods, they are free to run around and sniff in an unrestrained environment. Unlike the dog run, it’s not a confined space where there are toys to fight over.
What if I want to keep my dog on leash?
You are welcome to keep your dog on leash if you wish. But you may be surprised at how naturally your dog forms a pack with the others, and enjoys running with the pack.
