By Dan's Staff
Spring is officially here, and that means Dan’s Rosé Soirée is just around the corner.

This is the first event of the 2026 Dan’s Taste Series , the beloved annual series that defines summer on the East End, and tickets are on sale now at DansTaste.com. They will not last long.
Dan’s Rosé Soirée — May 24, Southampton Arts Center
Picture it: a warm May evening at the Southampton Arts Center, transformed into an elegant soirée. More than 20 rosé wines from around the world — Provençal classics, California standouts, and the finest from the East End — flowing freely. Over 15 acclaimed chefs presenting curated bites, including exclusive tastings from private chefs and Emmy-nominated culinary talent. A full bar of handcrafted cocktails and premium craft beers. Live entertainment and DJ sets that keep the energy humming from the first sip to the last dance.
This is the Rosé Soirée — and it has earned its status as the most anticipated Memorial Day weekend event in the Hamptons. Year after year, it delivers the rare combination of effortless elegance and genuine fun that defines the very best of the East End summer social scene.
For those who want to take things to the next level, VIP tickets offer early entry and access to the exclusive VIP After Party — featuring elevated pours, curated bites, and next-level entertainment.
