Long Island is known for summer fun, yet there is so much to explore beyond the warm weather months. With each passing season, we make new, exciting discoveries. Following are some suggested itinerary items based on our most memorable outings.
Wineries –Long Island boasts 57 distinct wine producers. The North Fork Wine Trail begins only 20 minutes from the inn. Maps are available at the inn and we can certainly offer suggestions for our favorite tasting rooms and restaurants. Vineyard touring is a great option for groups of friends + family, particularly if looking to entertain amidst a celebration gathering. We recommend reserving transportation to ensure your party’s safety and stress free enjoyment. Please check our dedicated page for some of our favorite vineyards.
Distillery & Brewery- Eat, drink and be merry with our friends and partners at either the Better Man Distillery or Blue Point Brewery. Better Man offers some adult friendly experiences, like cocktail classes, tours & tastings and even movie nights. Blue Point is a laid back, kid- friendly option for tasting some great local beers. Find a curated selection of beverages from Better Man and Blue Point available at the Bellport Inn.
Nature Trails - Just minutes from the inn, immerse yourself in beautiful nature preserves throughout the year. Check our dedicated page for info.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding On Bellport Bay or Carman’s River – We highly suggest this scenic and active outing if you are visiting between Memorial and Columbus Day!

Markets and Farms – If you are looking for wonderful local produce, and fresh goodies, we suggest stopping by Deer Run Farms and the HOG Farm - each offers farm stands on the weekends. Be sure to check out Hog Farm’s event calendar for family friendly gatherings throughout the year. One of our other, favorite nearby farms is Waterdrinker Family Farm, located just 15 minutes away (closed Jan-March).
Gateway Theatre - We are so fortunate to be walking distance from this famed Long Island theatre, featuring world-class productions. For the past fifteen years, Gateway has also been running their Haunted Playhouse, winning numerous awards on a local and national level. This unique, Halloween experience runs for six weeks, complete with professionally trained actors and incredible set design + production. There is a new theme every year! Beer and wine are available nightly and on select evenings, comfort food is available from Billie Jeans food truck. There is a new theme every year!

Art Museums and Galleries- Bellport Village is bursting with creative energy. Within our local community and throughout Long Island, there are several venues to experience multiple mediums of art.
Fall Festive & Family Friendly- If you are traveling with children, or are just young at heart, there are plenty of great ways to get outside and enjoy Long Island’s agricultural bounty. We are big fans of pumpkin and apple picking in the fall. Please visit our dedicated pages to learn more about pumpkin patches and orchards in the area.
Winter Activities- Though Bellport is known to many as a beloved beach town, there are plenty of things to do when the winter months roll in and the temperature drops. We invite you to experience the joys of Bellport and Suffolk County in the cozy season, a different kind of peace. Please review our committed page for cold weather recommendations.
