The event showcases nearly 1,000 world-class wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries through special events and promotions at participating locations throughout New York City.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the craft beverage week as part of the State of State initiative in late mid-Sept. “The craft beverage industry in New York has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years and as a result, has become a critical driver of regional economies in every corner of this state,” Governor Cuomo said. “Craft Beverage Week gives local producers a chance to partner with restaurants across New York to showcase their top-notch products, and I encourage craft beverage enthusiasts from near and far to come out and experience the very best our wineries, cideries, breweries and distilleries have to offer.”
