The North Fork of Long Island AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in eastern Suffolk County New York. Authored by winemaker Richard Olsen-Harbich in 1985 it includes the entire North Fork of Long Island and the townships of Riverhead Shelter Island and Southold. The North Fork of Long Island is home to 38 wineries and 3000 acres (1200 ha) of planted vineyards. The local climate is heavily influenced by the presence of Long Island Sound Peconic Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
