City Winery
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; Nashville; Pittsburgh, Philadelphia; St. Louis; and Washington D.C. Each City Winery location is a fully functioning urban winery, importing grapes from all over the world to create unique locally made wines.
History
City Winery was founded in 2008 by chief executive officer Michael Dorf. The New York venue has hosted gigs by Graham Nash, Norah Jones, Lee Ann Womack, Graham Parker, and John Mulaney. It also runs a set of free early evening weekday gigs for local musicians.
In 2018, the company planned to open its first venue outside a major city, at a former textile mill in Montgomery, New York.
A location at New York City's Grand Central Terminal was leased in 2022 and closed in 2024.
