Welcome to The Hidden JEM

Welcome to our beautifully reimagined barn, originally erected in 1680 and transformed into Long Island's pioneering Hargraves Vineyard in 1973. Now meticulously restored in 2025, our 66-acre working winery stands as the ideal venue for your North Fork wedding weekend.  Celebrate your special moments with a rehearsal dinner, afterparty, or photo shoot in a serene, private setting, featuring a picturesque half-mile driveway, flourishing vines, and breathtaking sunset views. Enjoy flexible spaces that offer a truly unique vineyard experience.

Inside, you'll find a vintage mercantile cocktail bar, reclaimed tables, and a cozy lounge adorned with a classic chesterfield and club chairs. Charming accents throughout blend modern touches with timeless elegance. Our surround sound system ensures your celebration can effortlessly transition to the dance floor.

A charming vineyard farm road winds gracefully off a peaceful rural street, leading to a sleek, modern farmhouse that perfectly fuses charm with contemporary style. This retreat features spacious sleeping arrangements, including 6 inviting bedrooms, 7 cozy beds, and 3.5 baths, all recently renovated and designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation.

Nestled in serene seclusion, you can wander down a dirt road to discover the original Long Island Tasting Room. Enjoy breathtaking vineyard sunsets views for the master suite balcony while being just moments away from several beautiful beaches, perfectly situated between the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. Notably, this remarkable property was the setting for Louisa Hargrave's celebrated book, "The Vineyard".
