Dear Slow Food East End Community,

We are thrilled to announce that Channing Daughters Winery has been honored with the prestigious Snail of Approval award by Slow Food East End. This recognition celebrates Channing Daughters’ commitment to excellence, sustainability, and its profound contribution to the East End’s culinary and cultural landscape.

Founded by Walter Channing in 1979, Channing Daughters began its journey with the planting of its first vines in 1982. Today, the winery cultivates 27 acres of grapes and sources additional grapes, including from the esteemed Mudd Vineyard. Under the guidance of winemaker Christopher Tracy, Channing Daughters has become renowned for its exceptional quality and diverse range of wines that showcase the unique terroir of Long Island.

Christopher Tracy’s winemaking philosophy blends ancient traditions with modern techniques, emphasizing indigenous yeast fermentations and meticulous blending. Each bottle from Channing Daughters reflects the dedication to craftsmanship and the rich tapestry of the region.

Beyond winemaking, Channing Daughters Winery is dedicated to sustainable practices, led by CEO and partner Larry Perrine, an expert in soil science and a pioneer in the Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing program. The vineyards are treated as part of a holistic ecological system, focusing on healthy soil practices and biodiversity. Channing Daughters is also certified as a sustainable winery, recycling grape pomace to create compost and using no synthetic nitrogen to protect groundwater.

Channing Daughters Winery not only upholds high standards in winemaking but also demonstrates a commitment to community support. Initiatives like the Heart Artists Series and ongoing donations to local nonprofits highlight their dedication to enriching the community.

The Slow Food Team recently visited Channing Daughters Winery to present them with their well-deserved Snail of Approval award. We invite you all to stop into their welcoming tasting room in Bridgehampton to experience their exceptional wines and learn more about their commitment to Slow Food principles.

Cheers to Channing Daughters Winery and their continued success in enhancing the East End’s culinary and cultural heritage.
