Visiting the East End of Long Island wine country is a fun experience for you and your friends. Choose 3-4 wineries you would like to visit during the course of the day and enjoy sampling specialty wines from each. Going on one of our Long Island wine tours takes the worry out of having a designated driver while you enjoy your day. Five Towns Limo can drive you home safely with all of your wine purchases and memories of a fun and relaxing day.

Thinking about taking one of our Long Island wine tours? Watch this video of a group who took a wine tour in 2010. Keep in mind that our Long Island limo party buses have many more features than the one shown in the video, including a 42” plasma TV with DVD player, a 2500W sound system, black lighting under the seats, large panoramic windows, interior strobe lights, black and grey leather interior and a complimentary beverage service. If you have 15 or more people in your Long Island wine tour group, you can make reservations for a private tour.

Bedell Winery is one of the many you can visit during your Long Island wine tour this fall.

This fall, make a trip to Long Island to experience the breathtaking autumn scenery as well as witness the fall grape harvest. Taking a Long Island limo wine tour is the best way to experience this yearly event. Relax with friends and family this weekend while sipping delicious wine and touring the countryside.

Whether you live in NYC or are just visiting, travelling to Long Island during the fall is a must. The impressive views of the countryside, as well as the quaint wineries and their surrounding properties are the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing day off. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature in the Long Island country.

Plan the perfect Long Island outing this fall for your and your friends. First figure out how many people will be going. If you plan on having 15 people or more, you can request a private limo for your Long Island wine tour. During your tour, your chauffeur will take you to as many wineries as you can fit into one day, which is usually about 4. Visit our Web site to browse the sites of the wineries we visit to choose which you would like to include in your plan.

Keep in mind that many wineries have events during September since it is harvest season. You can find these events on their individual Web sites. If you choose to have lunch at one of the wineries, we can make the arrangements for you. Otherwise, you can order a gourmet lunch provided by Five Towns Limo. Our lunch menu includes 11 options, including salads, sandwiches, wraps and paninis. Each lunch comes with a side of chips and seasonal fruit.

Spend This Labor Day Out NY Sightseeing

September 3, 2010

While you're out NY sightseeing this Labor Day, make sure to stop by the Asian Feastival in Queens to eat food like this.

Labor Day may mean the end of summer, but instead of dwelling on this fact, why not get out this Monday and do some good old-fashioned NY sightseeing? Many people have the day off work on Labor Day and if you are one of them, it’s the perfect day to get out on the town. It’s going to be beautiful weather this weekend, so take advantage of the extra day off and have a limo chauffeur you around the city.

Although Labor Day is a U.S. Federal Holiday and schools, banks and post offices are closed, most restaurants, stores and attractions are still open. In fact, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the attractions that stays open on Labor Day as part of the special Met Holiday Mondays sponsored by Bloomberg. After you spend some time browsing the beautiful art works of the museum, why not stop by the Asian Feastival in Queens, happening this Monday 12:00pm-5:00pm. Enjoy 20 of the borough’s restaurants in one place so you can taste a variety of specialty dishes each has to offer.

Don’t feel like spending the day at the Met? Why not have your limo drop you off at the West Indian-American Day Carnival. On Labor Day from 12:00-6:00pm, you can join the expected two-million attendees to watch the parade, complete with dancers in glittery outfits strutting down Eastern Parkway.

After a fun day of NY sightseeing, ask a few friends out for dinner and have your limo driver take you to one of these trendy restaurants that just opened this week. Korzo Haus has Hungarian and Slovakian specialties alongside house-ground burgers. In the mood for something more casual? 4Food allows diners to order unique, customizable burgers with an iPad while a huge “media wall” streams Twitter and Foursquare check-ins.

Whether you’re watching a parade, experiencing new food or browsing a gallery, remember to think about what Labor Day is truly about, honoring all U.S. workers, as we have been every first Monday in September since 1884.
