Bedell Cellars - Perfecting The Art Of WineBedell Cellars - Visit the Bedell Cellars Tasting Room
The Bedell Cellars tasting room was renovated in 2001, completing the first stage of an extensive renovation. The ceiling was raised to reveal the full height and character of the original, historic barn structure that was built in 1919. A split mezzanine was added, along with a fireplace to warm up with on a cold winter's day. From the mezzanine, visitors have a sweeping view of the vineyards and can also look into the winery tasting room and our state-of-the-art bottling line. The high ceilings and multi-level space also make an ideal showcase for owner Michael Lynne's private art collection, featuring the works of such renowned artists as Sam Taylor-Wood, Cindy Sherman, Uta Barth and Sarah Morris.

The Guest Cottage at Bedell Cellars is a historic landmark that dates back to the late 1700's. Its pergola-covered entrance path is lined with wisteria and leads to a beautiful lavender and herb garden, all designed by landscape architect Edmund Hollander of Edmund Hollander Design.

During the warmer months, visitors can taste our wines and picnic on the shaded lawn adjacent to the Cottage's apple orchard and vineyards. Visitors can also enjoy our wines and the views from a beautiful outdoor Pavilion connected to our tasting room.

The Bedell Cellars Tasting Room and Cottage were redesigned by the architectural firm of Samuels & Steelman in Cutchogue, NY, with interior design by Vicente Wolf Associates Inc. of New York City.

Bedell Cellars is available for Weddings, Private Parties and Corporate Events.

Tipping Etiquette:
Of course, tipping for good service is completely discretionary. However, we wish to offer a courteous reminder to all our visitors that tips for the bar service staff are not included in any of our prices for wine tasting flights, tours, group reservations, and table service. Often people ask us what is a customary tip for wine service, and typically people leave gratuities in the range of 10-20%, similar to a restaurant experience.
