Parrish Art Museum + Duck Walk Vineyards, Water Mill
Take a drive to the Hamptons and where 27 East merges into Montauk Highway in Water Mill, get ready to stop for a wine tasting followed by an amazing art experience. Duck Walk’s Hamptons tasting room neighbors Parrish Art Museum and makes for a great South Fork day to experience a taste of the renowned wines from dry to sweet, sparkling and dessert. They are known for their chic labels, nodding to their Hamptons locale, such as the Windmill Series or Southampton White, depicting a beach scene. Enjoy a flight, a glass or a bottle on their patio, along with cheese accompaniments and live music on weekends.
After your wine experience, hop next door (or just beyond the vineyard) to the Parrish Art Museum where you can delve into more than 3,000 paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and mixed media, as well as learn more about artists and individual art works. There are many new things to discover that will capture your senses and interests.
