[subscriber-content]Tickets are now on sale for the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (DFWE) New York , returning for its fifth year on Saturday 6 June , on the 60th floor at the stunning Manhatta. High above the city skyline, the DFWE New York is a one-day tasting experience built for discovery. Guests are invited to taste widely, learn with confidence and deepen their understanding of fine wine, guided by the people who know it best. The New York Encounter opens Decanter's global Fine Wine Encounter series for 2026, ahead of later editions in cities including London, bringing together exceptional wines and expertise in an elegant, relaxed setting.

Each will present four wines, including a special cuvée awarded 95+ points by Decanter . With the freedom to explore at your own pace, guests can compare styles, revisit favourites and speak directly with producers, building confidence in their palate while discovering new wines along the way.
