New York City’s Upper West Side is home to more than just amazing architecture and landmarks like Strawberry Fields, the Dakota and the American Museum of Natural History. It’s also a oenophile’s paradise, with the oldest wine shop in the U.S. nestled amid the best chocolatiers and patisseries in the city! And for those who love pairing the perfect pinot with a sweet or savory treat, the Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Tour by City Food Tours is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the city. And though there’s no need to take notes, you may leave the Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Tour a little bit wiser on how best to pair wines with sweets thanks to City Food Tours’ licensed guides who are also food and beverage experts.
