Dear Friends,

As Plato said, “Wine is the key to friendship.” At Wine on Wheels, we believe it’s also the key to connection, community, and change.

Wine on Wheels isn’t just an event—it’s a movement. Each year, over 40 of NYC’s top sommeliers join forces with importers, distributors, and wine lovers for a day rooted in purpose: to create a more inclusive and accessible world, especially for people with disabilities.

Inspired by the ancient Greek Symposium—a gathering for wine, conversation, and solidarity—our Grand Tasting is a modern celebration of resilience, hospitality, and shared joy. It’s a rare moment when the wine industry comes together not just to pour, but to uplift and empower.

Wine speaks every language and welcomes all to the table. In that spirit, we invite you to stand with us—whether as a sponsor, partner, or guest. Your support helps us keep building a world where everyone belongs.

Let’s raise a glass—to community, to progress, and to a future without barriers.

With gratitude,

Yannick Benjamin, Founder, Wine on Wheels
