This September, Sotheby’s will launch the inaugural New York edition of Nightcap, a new global Wine & Spirits experience celebrating the worlds of collecting, connoisseurship, gastronomy, and luxury. Taking place from 17–19 September at Sotheby’s global headquarters, The Breuer, the festival will bring together exceptional educational tasting experiences, exclusive collector dinners, and headline auctions in a dynamic format designed to engage both seasoned collectors and a new generation of enthusiasts.

Nightcap represents a broader cultural moment that positions wine and spirits alongside art, design, and hospitality and brings together the people, stories, and craftsmanship that define the category. At its heart, wine and spirits are about shared experiences — exceptional bottles, meaningful conversations, and connections formed around a common passion. Nightcap celebrates that culture on an elevated stage, creating new opportunities for discovery while deepening engagement with existing communities.
