Dan's Rose Soiree Returns: Hamptons' Most Coveted Summer Kickoff Is Back & More Exclusive Than Ever in 2026
Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons means one thing: Dan’s Rosé Soirée. On Sunday, May 24, the Southampton Arts Center transforms into the season’s most glamorous gathering — an evening of world-class rosé, exceptional cuisine, electric entertainment, and the effortlessly chic energy that defines summer on the East End. More than 800 guests will raise a glass to kick off the season in style, and this year the celebration is bigger, bolder, and more memorable than ever.
Hosted by Ramona Singer, entrepreneur, Hamptons fixture, and beloved star of The Real Housewives of New York City and forthcoming series The Golden Life, the 2026 Soirée brings serious star power to an already legendary event. If anyone understands the assignment when it comes to rosé, warm nights, and a room full of people ready to celebrate, it’s Ramona. “After a brutal winter, there is extra excitement around kicking off the summer and sipping rosé, and Ramona is going to bring that added sparkle,” said Elizabeth Aloni, SVP of Dan’s Papers.
