Wine Riot Boston will be held on Friday April 22nd and Saturday April 23rd at the Castle at Park Plaza Boston.  

Wine Riot is your all access pass to hundreds of new wines. With two parts education and one part revolution, Wine Riot has reinvented “wine tasting” for the thirsty and curious. Grab a glass and hit the floor — it’s you unleashed against 250 wines from across the globe. Travel the world of wine all under one roof and tackle things you’ve never tried before. We’ve rallied up a team of die-hard experts to bring you the brain juice: interactive booths and crash courses loaded with tips and tricks for conquering the wine world. Fueling your night of conquest is a tireless DJ, photo booth, temporary tattoos, and a few thousand of your closest friends. The best part is, we made an app that tracks your favorite wines and shows you where to buy them later, arming you with all the tools needed for total wine domination.

Opening Night Friday, April 22 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Riot 1 Saturday, April 23 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Riot 2 Saturday, April 23 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Crash Courses – Drop in for a quick, 20-minute sit down with some of the coolest producers in the world. Taste your way through Portugal, guess the price of a bottle from California or learn all about German Riesling in one of these free mini seminars.

Winery Booths – We search high and low for the best and most diverse wineries. Some produce only a few barrels and others millions, but we want to put hundreds of wines from around the world in one room so you can sample the wares and chat with the folks that know them best.

Mobile App – Download our free app (available for iPhone and Android) to help navigate the event and remember all the wines you loved. Check out the top wines at the event or take a guided tour of the booths, like Bring on the Bubbly.

Wine 101- Hit up our Wine 101 Booth and learn eight wine terms by tasting them! Taste the difference between Dry and Sweet wine, sip Old World next to New World wines, see the change in Young vs Mature wines, and find out what Oaked vs Unoaked means.

Bubbly Bar- Don’t miss the Bubbly Bar, where we’ll be pouring every type of Sparkling Wine and educating about the different styles. Did you know that in order to be called “Champagne” the grapes must be grown in the Champagne region of France? All other bubbly wines are called “Sparkling Wine,” but some countries have their own designations like Spanish Cava, from Penedes, Italian Prosecco from Veneto, and Cremant, from other regions in France.
