As we welcome fall, there’s no better way to savor the weather than with an elegant outdoor rosé party, particularly in The Hamptons. Whether you're a Montauk local looking to throw a summer soirée, or you are simply looking to capture the ambiance of The East End, our friends at The Montauk Project have shared helpful tips for a successful party. We've also compiled a few Brown Harris Stevens Hamptons listings with impressive outdoor spaces for your own inspiration.
Select the Right Rosé and Pairings

“Our wine is a French Côtes de Provence wine inspired by the "East End. It offers a delectable bouquet of fresh strawberries, citrus, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing mix of red fruits with a crisp and lively finish.” - Chris Nasrallah, Montauk Project Co-Founder
To beat the late summer/early fall heat, serve your rose chilled and avoid heavy entrees or appetizers. “Our rosé pairs perfectly with light, fresh fare,” Nasrallah said. Think bite-sized, cold-cut sandwiches, soft cheeses like feta and mozzarella, and charcuterie boards filled with prosciutto, fruits, and crackers. Seafood dishes, grilled veggie skewers, and salads also make ideal accompaniments, while desserts like fruit tarts, peach cobbler, and chocolate-covered strawberries round out the feast.
Choose the Right Setting

To truly capture the essence of the Hamptons, an outdoor space is key. Whether it’s a garden, terrace, or backyard, the right location makes all the difference. You can customize your own backyard space using the homes in this article as inspiration, or find one that ideally suits your needs. For example, 30 Hampton Street (pictured above) offers a covered patio, pool area, and pergola with outdoor fireplace, providing multiple spaces for entertainment and leisure. Furthermore, its verdant yet minimalist landscaping allows for ease of customization.
Set the Scene with Coastal Elegance
"Inspired by summers spent overlooking Lake Montauk, The Montauk Project reflects a taste of elegance, luxury, and class, which exemplifies what The Hamptons represent. Our wine reflects that coastal sophistication, so design your space to feel breezy and chic.” - Chris Nasrallah
Keep the décor at your party simple yet refined. Use soft linens, twinkling string lights, and fresh flowers to set an inviting yet seasonally appropriate atmosphere.
Cheers to your perfect party!
