Over the course of two days, 9,000 people made the trip out to Governor's Island, where they sprawled out on thousands of pink and white blankets, listened to music from various DJs, and enjoyed "Pinknic baskets" crafted by celebrity chef Chris Santos - all while sipping on a selection of rosé wines.
Pierrick Bouquet - the mastermind behind a similarly rosé-themed festival that took place on a yacht in June - partnered with Derek van Bakergem to create this event, which focused less on the variety of rosé wines and more on the lifestyle that comes along with drinking it.
The initial idea was to create something new, something that would be an amazing experience for guests to attend," Bouquet said. "We want to make this a very large, multi-day festival with more music, more food, more activities ... that said, the wine offered will of course always be rosé!
