Spring 2024 in the Hamptons: 5 Activities to Explore

As temperatures warm up, many people are eager to plan their summer getaway to the Hamptons. But why wait until summer when there’s already so much to do in the Hamptons right now?

The Hamptons has become a year-round destination for its events, boutique shopping, renowned restaurants and other attractions. Springtime is the perfect time to explore the area, especially as the bucolic landscapes begin to bloom.
If you’re looking for something to do this spring with friends or loved ones, here are 5 activities to explore in the Hamptons.

So, which do you choose?

In this post, we’ll be focusing specifically on three wineries on the South Fork, a.k.a. the Hamptons.

When people talk about Long Island wine tours or the “wine trail,” they’re often referring to wineries on the North Fork. That’s because there are dozens of vineyards situated close together, particularly along Route 25. This allows visitors to explore multiple locations in one outing, hopping from one vineyard to the next (safely and comfortably, of course, in one of our chauffeured luxury vehicles at Jackrabbit Limo).

But the North Fork is not the Hamptons.

If you’re looking for the full Hamptons experience this spring – not just the incredible vineyards, but also world-class dining, boutique shopping, beaches, celebrity sightings and more – then you’ll want to head to the South Fork.

Here are the three wineries to check out.

Spring Fling 2024 at Parrish Art Museum

The Spring Fling has become a significant annual event at the Parrish Art Museum, which is a popular destination in Water Mill focusing exclusively on works by local artists. This event raises money for the museum’s year-round programs, while offering delicious food, wine pairings, a silent auction and more. This year’s Spring Fling will celebrate the art of Simón Vega and will also feature a scavenger hunt and opportunities to create your own art. (Bonus: The museum is located right next to Duck Walk Vineyards, perfect for a wine tasting before the Fling.)
