New York wine is at the heart of this year's The Great New York State Fair, and we're bringing the best of the state right to the Horticulture Building.
This Thursday, August 27, the New York Wine & Grape Foundation will host three seminars at the New York State Tasting Yard, featuring top-scoring wines from the 2026 New York Wine Classic. It's a rare opportunity to taste some of the finest wines New York has to offer, poured right alongside the story of how they got there.
As Sam Filler, Executive Director of NYWGF, put it: "This is where New York celebrates its agriculture, from the growers who tend the vines to the winemakers who bring them to the glass. This year, we’re especially excited to bring a taste of the New York Wine Classic to the Fair, offering visitors exclusive access to some of the top-scoring wines in the state while learning firsthand about the diversity and quality coming out of every region of New York."
Whether you're a longtime New York wine enthusiast or trying a New York wine for the first time, come find us in the Horticulture Building. We'd love to see you there.
