Though Macari Vineyards was not established until 1995, the Macari family has owned the 500-acre waterfront farm for over fifty years. Joseph Macari Jr. is considered a pioneer in the movement towards regenerative farming on Long Island through his adoption of biodynamic principles since the vineyard's first plantings. All grapes are strictly farmed without herbicide. Homemade compost from the family's cows is used as fertilizer and organic biodynamic principles are utilized throughout the farming process.
