In 2021, owner Jacqui Goodale told Northforker that Terra Vite Winery and Vineyard (250 Manor Lane, Jamesport) was “Italy meets the North Fork.” It’s certainly true of the Italian name, which translates to “earth” and “vine,” and the Italian influence is now even more pronounced with the addition of a retail store on the premises, the Enoteca.

The Enoteca was part of Goodale’s vision for Terra Vite from the start. The shop includes wine bottles for purchase, but there are also fine Italian foods, gifts and even clothing. “We have all our wines in here and I started adding food components. We started with pasta packs, most of which are imported from Italy,” says Goodale. “Everything gets stuck in customs! But we’re pretty well stocked now.”
