Overview

Known as the season's “Must-Attend” Wine Festival, and named by Wine Enthusiast magazine as "One of the 12 Fall Food and Wine Festivals You Won’t Want to Miss,” join Crush Wine Experiences for a lively downtown edition of the 12th Annual NYC Autumn Wine & Food Festival® on Saturday, November 7, 2026!  We’re back in NYC’s vibrant Lower East Side at the spacious Grand Hall, boasting a rustic tasting room feel. Taste Sommelier-curated wines from all major global high-quality regions: France, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Greece, Georgia, South America, South Africa, and California. Plus, discover wines and craft beverages from New York State, the USA’s 3rd largest wine region. Plus, sample delicious artisanal bites, and purchase small plates from featured food vendors, if you care to pair more. Enjoy a festive atmosphere with a backdrop of rough-hewn stone walls in one of NYC’s hidden historical gems. Don’t settle for low-end NYC Wine Fest events produced by street fair organizers. Ours is the only one organized by wine professionals and sommeliers. Other events are not Crush Wine Experiences!
