Tastings, events, and expert hospitality — with plenty of good things to sip along the way.
The Lush Life is a hospitality and tasting experiences company founded by Certified Sommelier and Martha Stewart wine contributor Sarah Tracey.
We create thoughtful, high-energy wine, spirits, cocktail, and food-pairing experiences for corporate groups, private events, and celebrations — in New York City, throughout the Hudson Valley, and virtually across the country.
And because great hospitality does not stop when the event ends, The Lush Life is also where Sarah shares what she knows about wine, cocktails, hosting, travel, and entertaining.
