City Wine Tours LLC, Cambridge

City Wine Tours' experienced wine ambassadors take groups on enlightening viticultural explorations in New York City and Boston. Each two-hour walking tour stops by upscale restaurants, neighborhood boutiques, and hidden grape-springs known for their unique wine offerings. Guests sip and sample along the way, trying up to six different varietals, while guides expound on wine tasting, pairing, and history. That focus on entertaining education has proved a winning formula—City Wine Tours' walking excursions have been praised by media outlets including Zagat and the Boston Globe.
