December 18, 2023

Wine is always a great idea… and when it comes to wine, New York City offers a variety of options to get your vino on. From wine bars to city wineries to wine-tasting masterclasses, NYC is the urban Napa Valley of the East Coast. And if you're still craving something with a little more of that beautiful Napa scenery, the Finger Lakes are just a drive away from the city. 


With so many fun options to choose from and incredible access to the most prestigious and rare wines the world has to offer, there’s something for everyone here looking to enjoy a great sip of wine. But what if I told you there’s something you had yet to check off your wine bucket list… Imagine a personalized luxury wine tasting, all without having to leave town, or your apartment, for that matter. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Here’s your first-hand look at NYC's latest and greatest wine experience…


Grab your wine glass and welcome to Gradito: an exclusive approach to a sommelier and wine-tasting experience in New York City as well as the Hamptons. Whether you're a wine rookie or a true aficionado, you'll get to experience glass after glass of unparalleled luxury guaranteed. 


So here’s all you need to know about Gradito’s unmatched private sommelier & wine tasting experience…


  • Did Someone Say… Personal Sommelier?

Enjoying wines recommended by a sommelier at a fine dining restaurant can be one of the most enjoyable gastronomic experiences available to us. Beyond suggesting wine pairings and pouring wine, sommeliers have the unique opportunity to connect with people during their meals and elevate their dining experience with exceptional hospitality. It’s hard to find this top-tier culinary attentiveness, but it’s even harder to share it with an entire restaurant filled with patrons craving the same thing as you. What if you could book your very own private sommelier?


Get ready to unlock the next level of NYC sommelier experiences with Gradito.
