Step Through the Hidden Pourtal

Fine Wine Festival returns to Central Park on Saturday, September 5, 2026, bringing together a 3 HOUR unlimited wine tasting, immersive experiences, live music with the city's best DJs, food, fashion, culture, and unforgettable energy in the heart of New York City.

This is not your average wine festival. For three hours, explore unlimited wine from a huge selection of brands while moving through immersive worlds, interactive experiences, curated food vendors, live DJs, and unexpected moments designed to keep the energy building all day long.

Come dressed to be seen. Discover something new. Meet people who match your energy. Then stay as the festival transforms from an elevated tasting experience into one of the city’s most vibrant outdoor parties.

This year, guests will journey through Hidden Pourtals: immersive worlds inspired by different expressions of energy, taste, and personality. Each Pourtal offers its own atmosphere, aesthetic, and moments waiting to be discovered.

Your Pourtal Awaits

Every guest belongs to a world:

The Velvet Society: Bold, magnetic, and seductive.

The Golden Ivory: Elevated, refined, and effortless.

The Realms of Rosé: Vibrant, expressive, and social.

Three worlds. Three energies. Which Pourtal will you choose?

The Experience

From discovering new wines and meeting fellow wine lovers, Fine Wine Festival delivers an experience that evolves throughout the day.

As the tasting concludes, the festival transforms into a vibrant social experience featuring live DJs, entertainment, dancing, cocktails, and unforgettable energy through 10PM.

Whether you love wine, are a music lover, or simply looking for one of New York City's most anticipated Labor Day Weekend events, Fine Wine Festival offers a unique blend of wine discovery, culture, and connection unlike any other festival in the city.
