The Rosé Mansion Helps Create Unforgettable Memories
Rosé Mansion started as a pop-up wine tasting experience, and it has become a full-fledged tourist attraction in the heart of New York City. Now the team intends to continue growing and adding new experiences, rooms, and wines to tantalize the senses of its visitors.
The Rosé Mansion team is now working to unveil a new pop-up project dubbed Immersed in Wonderland. This 14,000-square-foot art installation comes straight from the imagination of artist Alexa Meade. She painted 35 different scenes full of beautiful patterns and optical illusions, and she also painted the Rosé Mansion wine bar, which will now serve fun cocktails in addition to its signature rosés.
If you’re looking for something fun to explore with a loved one, you can’t do much better than Rosé Mansion where the rooms are as bright and bubbly as the wines.
“We built the Rosé Mansion to be a really fun place to hang out,” Tyler said. “It’s great for date nights and BFF nights. It’s a place where people can come together and do something a little different, unique, and super cool.”
