Then step behind the scenes of the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the opening of the day hotel that operated here from 1826 to 1833. Join the staff for the inside scoop on this NYC historic landmark, including unusual facts about the building’s past and period rooms.

After the tour, we will offer a special wine tasting event to toast the kick-off of our year-long 200th anniversary celebration. Our Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET)-certified docent will offer a sampling of wines that recall what guests at the Mount Vernon Hotel would have been served 200 years ago.
