Rgny

What Rgny does

RGNY is a family-owned estate winery and hospitality operation on Long Island's North Fork, operating a 75-acre vineyard within a 205-acre estate at 6025 Sound Avenue, Riverhead, NY. The company cultivates 14 vinifera varieties on maritime-influenced sandy loam soils and produces a two-tier wine portfolio (premium RG labels and the accessible Scielo collection), guided by a 'Menos es Más' minimal-intervention philosophy and certified sustainable status as a founding member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing since 2012. Wine production is grounded in approximately 30-year-old rootstock on the Martha Clara Vineyards parcel, which the Rivero González family acquired in 2018 and rebranded as RGNY in 2019.

Revenue is generated across six streams: direct wine sales at the on-site tasting room and via an e-commerce storefront shipping to eight US states; a quarterly wine club subscription at $130 + tax per quarter with 3-bottle winemaker-curated shipments, complimentary tastings, and 15% discounts; paid on-site experiences (The RG Tasting at $60/person, Brunch a la Mexicana at $65/adult, Scielo in a Bottle at $40/person, Create Your Own Blend workshops); weddings and corporate events accommodating up to 200 guests across seven venues (Northville Barn, Scielo Lounge, El Sótano, La Pergola, The C.E.C Loft, Las Vides, and the vineyard itself); the Red House on the Vines 3BR/3BA vacation rental booked through StayMarquis; and wholesale distribution through Spec's Wines across Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Fort Worth plus Long Island on-premise placements. Target customers span wine enthusiasts, wedding couples, corporate event planners (e.g., Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital, The Tie's Out East Summit), and Texas retail partners.

Commercially, the business is a privately held family operation under CEO Maria Rivero González (who also leads RGMX in Mexico), with a team of 11–50 led by a Director of Operations, Director of Events, Director of Hospitality, a winemaker, and tasting room staff. Marketing relies on Instagram and Facebook organic social, YouTube brand storytelling, an email newsletter, the RG Life blog, SEO-optimized site content, Tock-based booking, and a curated wedding preferred-vendor ecosystem. Distribution is multi-channel and intentionally diversified: D2C e-commerce, subscription, on-site direct, vacation rental, and regional wholesale — limiting concentration risk on any single channel.
