Date & Time: Sunday, Jun 7, 2026, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Hudson VU
Overview:
The first true warmth of June deserves a glass that matches the sunset. Join us at Hudson VU as we partner with Whispering Angel for our second annual rosé soirée, a sophisticated sunset ritual where rosé flows freely from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM., this premium Provence pour is the definitive after-work wind-down care.
NYC’s most refined rooftop dining experience with spectacular 360° views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River that’s perched above Hell’s Kitchen. Guests will enjoy stunning views, free flowing crisp French Whispering Angel Rosé poured out of 6-liter large format bottles using a special decanting cradle machine designed for heavy bottles (see below) and passed bites from new Chef Carlos Letona of Hudson VU and its sister restaurant and wine bar Hudson Local (ground level).
Key Takeaways:
The Grand Pour: Experience free-flowing, crisp French Whispering Angel Rosé poured from massive 6-liter Methuselah bottles.
Precision Engineering: Witness the special decanting cradle machine, a unique device designed specifically to handle and pour these heavy large-format bottles with elegance.
Culinary Excellence: Enjoy passed bites curated by new Chef Carlos Letona, showcasing the flavors of Hudson VU and its sister wine bar, Hudson Local.
Provençal Elegance: Savor a premium pour known for its bone-dry profile and delicate notes of red berry and citrus—the definitive after-work wind-down.
An Insider’s Tip:
The 360° view is the star here. Arrive exactly at 6:00 PM to secure a spot facing the Hudson River; as the sun sets, the reflection on the water paired with a glass of Whispering Angel is the quintessential New York summer moment.
A Note for Our Inner Circle: This event epitomizes "effortless luxury." The use of a decanting cradle for 6-liter bottles is a fascinating touch of mechanical "craftsmanship" that turns a simple pour into a performance. It perfectly aligns with our appreciation for intentional, high-end hospitality.
Who You May Spot: Rooftop connoisseurs, fashion-forward professionals from the West Side, and rosé enthusiasts seeking the ultimate golden hour photo op.
