Dan’s Rosé Soirée Coming to Nova's Ark in Water Mill on July 24

Typically our Memorial Day kickoff to summer, Rosé Soirée has moved to the end of July this year, now acting as the epic conclusion to the first wave of Dan’s Taste 2021 events. You read that right; we’ve got another exciting wave of can’t-miss events coming this August and September, but for now, let’s talk Rosé Soirée.

Rosé Soirée takes place Saturday, July 24, at the renowned Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill—the Hamptons’ largest privately owned sculpture park and art center, featuring the works of founder Nova Mihai Popa. The event is hosted by Fox5 Good Day New York anchor Rosanna Scotto and features reserved outdoor seating with a multi-course tasting and pairing menu from the East End’s top chefs, but more on the food later.

As always, Rosé Soirée boasts a wide selection of the Hamptons’ favorite summer drink, rosé wine, as well as other wines from vineyards across the East End and beyond, tons of specialty spirits, cocktails and beers. Featured wineries include local favorites Wölffer Estate Vineyard, Paumanok Vineyards, Palmer Vineyards, RGNY, Pindar Vineyards, Clovis Point Vineyard, Borghese Vineyard & Winery, McCall Wines, Jamesport Vineyards and Chronicle Wines, as well as renowned wines from Monte Xanic, The Expressionist, The Great Oregon Wine Company and Jesse Bongiovi’s Hampton Water. A sommelier will circulate throughout the event providing details and explanations of each wine. (Check DansTaste.com for the latest updates on wine offerings!)

Each course features dishes prepared by the Hamptons and North Fork’s most beloved chefs and perfectly paired with a refreshing rosé. These chefs are masters of bringing the richest flavors out of the freshest ingredients, and they’re sure to impress even food connoisseurs with the most discerning of palettes. And where there’s wine, there’s often chocolate or another sweet to enjoy it with, and Rosé Soirée delivers in a big way—showcasing two innovative North Fork chocolatiers and the queen of the Westhampton Beach ice cream scene.
