Our Story: The Grape to Glass Project  

An Urban Winemaking Experience

Created in New York City, the Village Winery Club is Manhattan’s first winemaking community with 3rd generation roots to urban pioneers of America. The VWC is a club focused on the education and experience of small production, hand-made wine using the highest quality grapes from New York State vineyards and around the world.

 What is the #UrbanWineMovement?

Our concept is simple. The VWC’s urbanwinemaking experience is delivered using
the highest quality grapes with gourmet pairing events from local chefs.
Each 12 month package combines hands-on winemaking, education, and networking for the ultimate social experience.
The grape to glass concept events are an opportunity to taste your vintage with locally paired foods as it ages to maturity.
