In the City
Wine & Charcuterie Tasting

Private tasting class at NYC’s most elegant wine shop

Meet us for a “Smell-O-Rama” wine-tasting, with full charcuterie spread at New York Wine Co. The nose is the focus—learn to discriminate among wine aromas as you taste, dine and socialize in a very relaxed environment.

This event is the second part of a full-day event: you will be meeting the rest of us hikers at New York Wine Co., an elegant wine shop in TriBeCa for a private wine-tasting class and full charcuterie spread.

This event is designed to show you how important your nose is when it comes to wine. We will identify six basic smells that are common in wine, ranging from minerals to tropical fruits. We will set up each smell at its own “smell station” for people to go experience. Rob will then lead everyone through the smells and how they relate to the wines. 4 different wines will be poured that correspond with the smells. Our chef Chris will provide a full spread of assorted sliced cured meats, a cheese board with a selection of regional cheese, housemade pickles, olives, fennel pollen shortbread, white bean hummus with roasted red pepper, as well as passed hot appetizers for smelling enhancement and noshing pleasure.

Like what you taste? You’ll also receive 10% of any wine purchase that evening. New York Wine Co. has both a conspicuous passion for the classic wines of Europe and a loyalty to quality wines from the world’s other notable regions.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
