Event Details

The Wines of Portugal!  It not just all about Port anymore. Some of the best values in the world of wine can be found in this beautiful country rich in tradition yet bursting onto the scene with new finds. Discover the grapes, styles, regions, and earthy flavors that set Portugal apart from the rest.

Formerly known as "The Art of Wine Tasting", join us for our new series celebrating the wonderfully diverse and ever changing world of wine!

Each month we will focus on a different region exploring the grapes, styles, soils, viticulture, and tasting techniques that will help you enjoy the place in your glass! These interactive tastings will be conducted by our wine professional Wendy Crispell in a fun, relaxed atmosphere aboard the beautiful yacht Manhattan. Light tapas will be expertly paired to complement the evening's wines.

This series is inspired by the 400th Anniversary of NY. People from many cultures sailed into our harbor bringing regional cuisine and traditions that helped to make NY one of the most diverse culinary destinations in the world!
