2025 Wine Tasting - Laithwaites Festival of Wine

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:

• Taste over 60 wines—including premium selections from our inner cellar.

• Meet and mingle with exciting producers like California’s iconic Boisset Collection, Rioja’s famed Altos de la Guardia estate, Tuscany’s Paolo and Annarita Masi and France's legendary Jean-Marc Diffonty.

• NEW highlights this year include Greek Wines, Wines Across America, the official JETS Sonoma Cabernet and an Italian fine wine table.

• Enjoy light snacks such as cheese, charcuterie and desserts.

• The dynamic teams from Château La Clarière in Bordeaux and RedHeads in Australia will also be on-hand, pouring their beloved boutique wines.

• NEW expanded Vineyard Partner lounge. We’ll uncork special releases, offer light bites and have a few additional surprises. New location this year! The VP lounge has moved from the main stage to the waterfront terrace directly outside the event space, giving you beautiful views of the Hudson River.

• Our in-house wine experts will be floating around all afternoon to answer your questions.

• Enjoy 20% off and free shipping on any wine order (of 12+ bottles) placed at the event. (Unlimited members get an additional $20 discount on wine orders.)

With beautiful views, world-class wines and great company, there’s no better way to spend an afternoon in the city. See you there!
