LIRR Escorted Tour: North Fork Fruit and Hard Cider

Visit Long Island’s North Fork for a memorable family adventure. Enjoy picking fresh fruit at Wickham's Fruit Farm, followed by a stop at Riverhead Ciderhouse.

The historic Wickham’s Fruit Farm is one of the largest farms in the area, and while their emphasis is on fruit, Wickham’s also offers a variety of freshly baked goods from pies to apple cider donuts! Those will pair up well with your next stop: Riverhead Ciderhouse, where you’ll enjoy tastings of naturally harvested ciders, local beer and wine, and other treats.

You'll then visit the village of Port Jefferson for some shopping and dining.
