If you’ve ever been to Wine Riot, you know what it’s like to be surrounded by all the wine you could imagine and have the option to taste every single one.
The same man behind Wine Riot, Tyler Balliet, is the genius behind the new, already buzzworthy, Rose Wine Mansion.
In case you’ve been living under a rock or just haven’t seen the viral Facebook and Instagram posts, Rose Mansion is a new rose centered pop-up that opened this past Thursday and is running through October.
The mansion features various rooms highlighting different facts, timelines and locations that can change the way you see and taste rose—and did we mention you do get to sample a ton of rose along the way? History CAN be fun after all!
In case you’re wondering if it’s worth the $45 General Admission price—& we can assure you it is—let us break down what you can expect. Read on and judge for yourself.
Once you enter the big pink doors, you’ll be escorted up a flight of steps into a white-as-a-ghost room (although it may not be white after a few days/weeks of the installation), and given a glass with a sticker and pin. The pin, you keep; the stickers—in the shape of grapes—are used to decorate the room with the hopes that it will eventually be fully covered by those who’ve visited and ‘made their mark’.
You are then weaved from room-to-room, tasting wines from places all over the globe, like Africa, Spain, France, and Rome, varieties which are tart, sweet, bold and even sparkling. The wines are all un-sponsored and selected by Tyler himself from vendors he’s worked with in the past, including several from Wine Riot and even an option supplied by the experts at Wine Awesomeness, the subscription wine service.
The rooms are so widespread and Instagram-able, it’s unbelievable. There’s a scratch n’ sniff wall, rose’ gummies—of course—a room full of doors that lead to Instagram moments, a blend-your-own rose room and even a champagne room, with a ball pit full of shiny beach balls to play with.
We don’t want to ruin alllll the surprises, but it’s hard not to gush over everything there is to see, do, photograph and play with. It’s basically a playground, but instead of juice boxes, you’re drinking wine. Talk about an upgrade.
And as an added bonus, they’ve got some pretty fun swag for sale too.
Rose’ Wine Mansion is located at 445 Fifth Avenue and they even have a Happy Hour deal for visits from 2:30-4pm each day ($35 instead of $45). Tickets can be bought by choosing a date and time on their site.
According to their experts, NYC, aside from France, drinks more wine than anyone in the world. So why not drink in the comfort of other enthusiasts, while also taking tons of jealousy-inducing potential new profile pictures? Trust us, you won’t be sorry!
