The annual tasting event returns to City Winery in 2025! We’re thrilled to host this special afternoon for the Laithwaites community.
You’ll sip and sample your way through over 60 wines, all while chatting with our most-loved winemakers from Tuscany, Bordeaux, California and beyond. Our tastings are known for their relaxed, cocktail party atmosphere. Taste at your own pace with friends, meet the experts and enjoy exclusive discounts on the wines you try.
Join us on May 30, 2025 from 1-4pm at City Winery—located in Pier 57 at Hudson River Park.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
