With September comes the fall foliage in Central Park, the morning swap from iced to hot lattes, and the Mecca of all NYC events: Fashion Week.  Calvin Klein, Tory Burch, DVF, Milly, Michael Kors – the list is endless.  And to quote Rachel Zoe, we just “die” for Fashion Week.  But you know what we don’t “die” for?  Designer label prices.  While we may fall head-over-heels for that Rebecca Taylor sweetheart dress, shelling out half of our paycheck to own it is a different story.  So it should come as no surprise that we are totally obsessed with Woodbury Common Outlets and Perfect Palate New York who organizes wine, cheese and shopping trips from NYC up to the outlets.

Today’s deal combines our three favorite things in life (shopping, drinking and eating) into one fabulous day trip.  Think five hours at Woodbury Common followed by 1.5-2 hours at the vineyard where you’ll wine with other like-minded shopaholics in a fresh countryside atmosphere. Better yet, this fabulous little day trip is half off.  For $80 ($160 value), here’s what you get:

•    Round trip motorcoach transportation from NYC to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets (approximately one hour) - The bus leaves from Lexington Ave. (between 85th & 86th St.) promptly at 8 am and returns to the city at 6 pm.
•    VIP discount coupon booklet to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets
•    A wine and artisanal cheese tasting at the award-winning Palaia Vineyards in the Historic Hudson Valley - This is a tasting, but you’ll have the option to purchase a full lunch at Woodbury Common or at the vineyard.
•    10% discount on wine purchases at Palaia Vineyards
•    Free wine glass

You can choose from the following three dates:  October 2, October 9 or October 16.  Or you can buy a voucher for all three dates (and unlimited as gifts), since fall shopping doesn’t happen in just one day (duh!).  And sorry all you budding fashionistas, this wining, dining, shopping extravaganza is for 21+ only.

So put on your walking Manolos get ready to bask in hundreds of designer savings and sip on local wines for what we think is the most perfect Saturday trip ever.
