Wine Experience

Renowned wine expert and author Mark Oldman creates luxury wine tastings in one of New York’s most illustrious private venues.

Selling out top culinary festivals coast-to-coast, Mark is one of the food world’s most sought-after speakers. His wine tasting experiences are “five-star” (Food & Wine), “winespeak without the geek” (Bon Appétit), and the “hot ticket” (The New Yorker).

Mark will entertain and educate your group with devastatingly delicious wines at his private, art-filled Wine Sanctuary, which was featured in the Wall Street Journal as an ultimate place to drink wine.
