Item Description

You and a friend can enjoy a wine tasting flight in the Barrel Room and tour the winery of New York's own, City Winery. The Barrel Room at City Winery is an intimate, 30-seat restaurant and tasting room which serves wine fresh on tap, as well as a full food menu and City Winery.

Come explore the winery and sample the latest wine fresh from the barrel. City Winery's cellar holds 300 French oak barrels with 11 tap lines that automatically cool the wine to optimal temperatures -- and they are eco-friendly by removing the need for bottling the wine before it is served!

The core target audience of City Winery is urban wine enthusiasts who desire the experience of making their own wine, but who are not going to leave their comfortable Manhattan lifestyle to decamp to a vineyard. Beyond making wine, City Winery focuses on the enjoyment and satisfaction that comes from sharing wine with friends, and the unique social bond that occurs when communities of like-minded people gather over a bottle of quality Cabernet, while dining on a freshly-prepared meal and listening to their favorite artists perform.

In September 2011 City Winery opened the Barrel Room, a 30-seat restaurant within the Winery complex featuring 11 wines by the tap made on premises. The Barrel Room features its own menu, designed by executive chef Andres Barrera, to complement the wine and much of the food is prepared right in front of you. In addition to sampling an array of City Winery wines produced on premises, guests may order from City Winery's wine list of over 400 selections from most major winemaking regions of the world, recognized by Wine Spectator magazine with a 'Best of Award of Excellence' in 2010. "The Barrel Room" is housed inside the building between the company¿s fermentation tank room and the music and private event space. The tap system, which uses a neutral argon gas, allows us to serve wine in the "greenest" manner with no need for bottle, cork, label, or cardboard case. Much of the tap wine requires no added sulfites during "kegging" and because of the inert gas the wine is freshly preserved in stainless steel creating no waste from keg to glass.

City Winery strives to deliver the highest-end combined culinary and cultural experience to our customers who are passionate in sharing wine, music, and culinary arts. Its unique facility combines a fully functioning winery with intimate concerts, food & wine classes, private events in a variety of configurations, and fine dining. City Winery has created a compelling mix for a sophisticated clientele of foodies, and active cultural patrons¿bringing the wine country experience to the middle of a large city.

City Winery makes every effort to pair the culinary experience with a cultural experience, by attempting to create the perfect setting to share with friends your passion for wine, music and great food. With a strong belief in the company's mantra--Indulge the Senses--the sounds, smells, tastes, and views should combine to create a unique and special customer experience.
