Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York is pleased to announce the official date of their annual Wölffer Estate Harvest Party: Sunday, October 11. One of the most anticipated events on the fall Hamptons' social calendar, guests of all ages are invited to partake in harvest fun, and share the bounty and beauty of the season at Wölffer Estate.

A sumptuous harvest lunch, with an emphasis on local ingredients, will be served and paired with award-winning Wölffer Estate wines. Enjoy the feast at the large family-style tables arranged on the lawn. Live music, performed by local artists, will add to the celebration. Adding to the excitement will be the final round of the horse jumping competition of the Wölffer Derby held by the Wölffer Estate Stables at the vineyard ring.

This year's Harvest Party festivities include grape picking and stomping, a petting zoo, and barrel rolling races. For additional family fun, the Harvest Party will also offer pony and hay rides, face painting, a fall arts and crafts station, and many new events.
