New Roots Spring Wine Club Event 2025

Stephen Scarnato, the only winemaker on the East Coast who personally oversees every aspect of vineyard planning, planting, and production for private homeowners, is hosting a capstone event at one of his clients’ private vineyards on the North Fork. Along with his wife, Sarah, he leads New Roots Wine Club—an education-first community dedicated to sustainable, limited-intervention winemaking.

Join New Roots Wine Club’s spring event to learn, taste, and enjoy the vineyard during this vibrant phase of the growing season. Guests will take part in a hands-on vineyard demonstration covering shoot selection, de-suckering, and the positioning of fruit flowers—the early steps in growing this year’s grapes. The event also features an introduction to grapevine identification (ampelography) and a discussion on how temperature impacts the winemaking process. Attendees will enjoy tastings of the 2024 White Blend and the new experimental 2024 Regent, paired with seasonal hors d’oeuvres.
