About Duck Walk Vineyards 
Duck Walk Vineyards award winning wines are quite literally dreams come true.

The Normandy Chateau-style building in Water Mill, a true Hamptons landmark, became home to what has quickly evolved into one of the most well-known names in Long Island wine.
Duck Walk now has a second location in Southold, both tasting rooms are beautifully designed and accommodate large parties and everyone who would like to taste their award winning wines. Today Duck Walk Vineyards encompasses 140 scenic acres, producing over 35,000 cases of wine a year which have been repeatedly recognized for excellence in national competitions.
