From Elizabeth Cassone of Windswept by the Sea in Bridgehampton:
For fall family fun, the North Fork beats the South Forkβs pricey crowds. Southold and Mattituck are packed with pumpkin patches, apple orchards, farm stands, and roadside sellers offering mums, gourds, and candy apples.
Make it a full day with stops at local wineries, including Sparkling Pointe.
If you canβt make it to the North Fork, visit Wolffer Estate Vineyard.
Wolfferβs rosΓ© is a go-toβdry, not too sweet, and perfect for fall afternoons.

Since 1994, I've been creating a different kind of Hamptons salon β one that feels as relaxed and welcoming as a perfect beach day, with reggae setting the mood and zero pressure to be anything but yourself.
From my first Watermill spot in the '90s to today's Bridgehampton hideaway, it's always been about connection and craft.
Trained by Vidal Sassoon in London and seasoned across Europe's top salons, I brought those world-class techniques home to the East End, specializing in hand-painted color that captures natural sunlight and modern cuts that move like ocean air β effortless, organic, and designed to make you feel like the best version of yourself.
