Head up to 10th & Terrace on Thursday, December 18, from 5–7pm for a complimentary wine tasting led by Sommelier Lily Schild of Sunrise Wines. She’ll share the stories behind each bottle as you sip above the skyline. If you’d like to secure a glass with your name on it, you can book your spot right here.
While you’re there, check out their Holiday Cocktails & Bites lineup—duck rillettes, mince pies, sugar-cookie martinis, and other seasonal indulgences made for chilly evenings. If that menu is calling your name already, you can reserve a table here.
This isn’t sponsored (no one tried to bribe us with mince pies or martinis). We just appreciate a rooftop that goes all-in on good sipping and good snacking. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
