Step into a blend of history, craftsmanship, and classic New York charm with this Cocktail Class & Vintage Car Tour Experience in New York City. The adventure begins the moment a vintage car arrives for pickup, setting a distinctly nostalgic tone before heading to Central Park Café. Once inside, a professional bartender leads an immersive, hands-on cocktail class focused on Prohibition-era recipes. Guests learn the techniques behind crafting iconic drinks while exploring the cultural backdrop that shaped New York’s speakeasies and cocktail revival. The atmosphere stays interactive and relaxed, making it just as enjoyable for beginners as for seasoned cocktail enthusiasts.

Along the way, a licensed guide shares insights into the city’s architecture and history, enriching the experience beyond mixology. Between the storytelling, hands-on practice, and vintage car moments, the experience creates a detailed look at how cocktails evolved alongside New York itself. With multilingual translation available and time set aside for a group photo with the classic car, the outing offers a straightforward but memorable way to deepen cocktail knowledge while exploring the city’s character in a fresh, engaging format.
