Sipping a glass of rose at a winery while looking at the Empire State Building is now a reality for New Yorkers. Rooftop Reds, in Brooklyn Navy Yard, is the world’s first commercially viable rooftop vineyard system, according to its founder, Devin Shomaker.
The 15,000-square foot rooftop is home to a micro-vineyard with 168 grape vines, held in custom planter boxes. The vineyard is thriving because of its unusual location, Shomaker said.
