Business Owner

The North Fork Designated Driver was started by long time East End resident, Mike Malkush in 2012. He realized there was a need to have people safely wine taste and still want to be in their own car instead of a limo, bus, or with friends whose driver may actually have drunk over the legal limit. In fact, Mike currently lives in Cutchogue, the heart of Long Island Wine Country. Over the years he has seen the growth of wineries, restaurants, and an influx of visitors to the tasting rooms. He has also witnessed the increase in alcohol related accidents and DWIs. North Fork Designated Driver filled a void to give people another option to enjoy the Long Island wineries and be chauffeured around in their own car, with a knowledgeable and sober tour guide
