City Winery Boston

About

City Winery Boston combines a fully functioning urban winery, a restaurant and an intimate music venue under one roof. Touring artists, rising talent and comedians take the stage throughout the year, with genres ranging from rock and R&B to jazz, soul and folk. During shows, guests can order dinner and wine served right to their seats, and the seating is arranged to give good sight lines of the performance.

The company was founded in New York City in 2008 by Michael Dorf, who also founded the Knitting Factory music venue, after he made his first barrel of wine in California and wanted to combine his passions for wine and music. In Boston, guided tastings led by wine professionals explore varietals and winemaking techniques. The restaurant menu leans on small plates, shareable dishes and seasonal entrees built for wine pairing, and the Haymarket Lounge adds more live music.
