NYC Winter Wine Festival

We know it's cold outside. But instead of wallowing, you can pretend you’re vacationing in sunny Sonoma or Tuscany at this makeshift indoor vineyard this month. 

That's right, NYC Winter Wine Festival® returns for its 14th year on March 7. Held at 630 Second, the huge festival will gather hundreds of New and Old world selections, including wines from France, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, South Africa, South America, New Zealand and California. Artisans will also be on-site, supplying ticketholders with baked goods, dips and chocolates. VIP ticketholders will have access to a private area supplied with the finest selections, including pours of Champagne Pertois-Moriset Rose Blanc Grand Cru, and gourmet foods such as cheeses and desserts. 

NYC Winter Wine Festival® offers an afternoon (1-4pm) and an evening session (5-8pm). There's also an express, two-hour tasting from 2-4pm or 6-8pm. Tickets start at $55 for an express tasting; $65 for the grand tasting and $128 for the VIP session. Reserve yours here.
