Picture this: the sun dipping behind the Hudson, a glass of Barolo in hand, and the whole boot of Italy poured out in front of you. That's your Monday night at City Winery on Pier 57 for the Sip of Italy Wine Festival. Think floor-to-ceiling water views, golden light, and a three-hour love letter to Italian wine (and bites!) starting at 6:00pm on Monday September 14, 2026.
Grab your $49 GA Ticket (a $95 Value) to spend 3 Hours Drinking 50+ Red, White, Rosé & Sparkling Wines from the top wine-producing regions in Italy courtesy of Wine Enthusiast, as well as a Selection of Delicious Light Bites to balance every tipple.
This is the night Wine Enthusiast's Tasting Department pulls out all the stops. Every pour in your glass has already survived a rigorous blind tasting gauntlet, emerging with a 90+ point score (and often that coveted "Best Buy" title) before it ever touched Pier 57. The lineup spans Italy's most legendary wine country, from the Tuscan hillsides & Piedmont's misty valleys, to Sicily's volcanic slopes and Veneto's sparkling bubbles. Every glass tells a different regional story.
Of course, no great wine stands alone. Work your way through a spread of light bites such as cheeses, charcuterie, crostini, pasta, and cantuccini built specifically to play off what's in your glass, then let a live DJ set the soundtrack as the sky over the Hudson shifts into full sunset mode.
Come for wine this good, stay for the epic view. The Sip Of Italy is built for anyone who wants their evening to feel a little more like a scene from Italy and a little less like a Monday...
Wine Enthusiast has spent nearly four decades as one of the most trusted voices in wine, guiding drinkers from casual sippers to serious collectors toward bottles worth their attention. Their team of expert tasters blind-tastes thousands of wines every year, scoring each one on a 100-point scale so you never have to gamble on a bottle again. When something earns a 90+ rating (or the brand's coveted Best Buy designation) you know it's been vetted by people who taste wine for a living, not just people who like wine.
Beyond the magazine and the scores, Wine Enthusiast has built a reputation for turning that expertise into real-world experiences. Rather than keeping their tasting notes on the page, they bring their top-rated discoveries straight to guests, curating tastings that let everyday wine lovers sample the exact bottles their panel has already deemed exceptional, no guesswork required.
City Winery's Pier 57 outpost is the kind of venue built for exactly this. Perched right over the Hudson, it delivers wraparound water views, a golden-hour glow that outshines most restaurants in the city, and an atmosphere that blends working winery, live music venue, and waterfront lounge into one. It's the rare spot that can turn a Monday night into something that feels like a mini vacation.
That combination is exactly what powers the Sip Of Italy. Join them for three hours spent working through 50+ red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines from Italy's top-producing regions, all scored 90+ points by Wine Enthusiast's tasting panel. Pair your pours with light bites, dance to a live DJ, and watch the sky over the Hudson turn gold as the night unfolds.
Italy's best wines, New York's best sunset, all in one glass...
