• WINE EVENTS

    OTTO hosts wine classes every Saturday and Sunday at 2pm in the enoteca, our standing bar tables in the front of the restaurant.  Each class runs for about an hour and a half. In addition to the wine, classes include a chef's selection of our artisanal cheeses and house-cured meats. Classes are led by Marica Viczian, OTTO's Wine Director or by one of our very knowledgeable sommeliers.

    Our "Discovery" classes include the basics of wine-making, an introduction to Italian regions and producers, and a tasting of several Italian wines. The cost is $45/person, subject to 8.875% NY state sales tax.

    Our "Regional" classes focus on a specific region or type of wine, designed for those who wish to explore the wines of a particular region. The cost is $45/person, subject to 8.875% NY state sales tax.

    Our "Ultimate" classes showcase the most prestigious and sought-after Italian wines. These tastings are for anyone with a passion and a palate, from beginners to aficionados. The cost is $75/person, subject to 8.875% NY state sales tax.

    OTTO also offers wine classes on Tuesday nights. With winemaking trends coming and going, it's important to keep up with the latest news from the winemaking front. We are excited to focus on wines and regions where new ideas and concepts are finding their way to the marketplace. The classes will start at 6:30 and last for an hour, making them perfectly suited for gathering a group of friends after class or work, or meeting before dinner. We often hose winemakers or other celebrated members of the Italian wine community for these classes. It's a great opportunity to meet the artists behind the wines as they discuss life and winemaking in Italy. The cost is $30/person, subject to 8.875% NY state sales tax.

    OTTO is also delighted to offer Private Wine Tastings for groups of six or more guests.
