During each of the 4 sessions throughout the day (11am-1pm, 1-3pm, 3-5pm, and 5-7pm), guests can explore the world of orange wines, which are made using centuries-old techniques where the juice pressed from white grapes remains in contact with the skins during the fermentation process to create unique, versatile and delicious wines that range in color from pale gold to orange to amber. Plus, all guests get to take home a signature Orange Glou wine glass included in the $45 tickets. The Orange Glou Fair (@orangeglou_fair) takes place at Space LES at 155 Suffolk Street.

Pair with veggies or cheese for max versatility; less crowded than afternoon rushes.
