Wine Sampling

We are also grateful for the participation of distilleries of excellence in NY. It is a great privilege to learn about their farms and stories and to purchase their spirits.
Specialty Food Sampling
We aim to bring you the best quality specialty food producers who are willing to sample their products throughout each session. You will definitely want to purchase your favorites to take home.
Paint ‘N Sip

Board Games
Not everyone is an extrovert, and some prefer a more laid back evening. Enjoy a smattering of board games for you to enjoy playing as you sip.
Paint ‘N Sip Led by the Artzy Nana
Diana Myers has been painting for more than 3 decades. After years of teaching with ‘Painting with a Twist,’ she started her own mobile ‘Paint And Sip’ business titled ‘Art by Diana Myers.’ A very busy Nana, she also leads online classes at the Artzy Rose, which is on Facebook and most social networks. We are thrilled to have her back for the 3rd year in a row to facilitate the paint ‘n sip activity using multi-media paper and her step-by-step technique.
Perfect Sounds DJ Music Entertainment Will Return in 2025!
We would like to thank and welcome back Tom Soccocio, Jr, owner of Perfect Sounds DJ Music Entertainment, who energizes dance floors by playing the hottest hits from the 80’s, 90’s and today! You and your crew will also have a blast in the large photo suite that features a huge variety of fun props. Not only will you get a printed photo strip but you will be able to text a copy to yourself or email it so you can share it right away on social media. Feel free to request your favorites and shake what you got on the dance floor throughout the entire event.
