Building Connections on the North Fork: A Networking Road Trip to Remember

Recently, 10 dynamic members of ANET embarked on an unforgettable networking road trip to the picturesque North Fork of Long Island. The agenda was equal parts business and pleasure, with a curated itinerary designed to foster relationships, spark collaboration, and, of course, enjoy the beauty of this renowned wine region.  

Our day began with stops at three of the North Fork’s celebrated wineries: Paumanok Vineyards, Sparkling Pointe, and RGNY. Each offered its own unique charm, from Paumanok’s award-winning vintages to Sparkling Pointe’s elegant sparkling wines and RGNY’s innovative blends.

Between sips and strolls through the vineyards, we found moments to connect on both personal and professional levels, uncovering shared goals, complementary skills, and potential collaborations.  

Midway through the day, we took a break to enjoy lunch at Modern Snack Bar, an iconic Jamesport restaurant. The warm ambiance and great food provided the perfect setting to dive deeper into discussions and strengthen the bonds we were building. Over shared plates and laughter, the seeds of future partnerships were sown.  

This road trip wasn’t just about enjoying the North Fork’s treasures, it was about cementing relationships and discovering new synergies within the group. Networking events like these remind us that true connections are often built away from boardrooms and Zoom calls.  

Here’s to more adventures, more collaboration, and more shared success. Because when we take the time to truly connect, the opportunities are endless.
