City Winery is a chain of venues that feature a winery, restaurant, music venue, and private-event hosting. Its flagship location is in Hudson Square, New York City, with locations in Atlanta; Boston; Chicago;[1] Nashville; Pittsburgh, Philadelphia; St. Louis; and Washington D.C.[2] Each City Winery location is a fully functioning urban winery, importing grapes from all over the world to create unique locally made wines.
History
[edit]
City Winery was founded in 2008 by chief executive officer Michael Dorf.[3] The New York venue has hosted gigs by Graham Nash,[4] Norah Jones,[5] Lee Ann Womack,[6] Graham Parker,[7] and John Mulaney.[8][9] It also runs a set of free early evening weekday gigs for local musicians.[10]
In 2018, the company planned to open its first venue outside a major city, at a former textile mill in Montgomery, New York.[11]
A location at New York City's Grand Central Terminal was leased in 2022 and closed in 2024.[12][13]
