HOW DOES IT WORK? 
After you have shown your ID - you will be given an event-tasting wristband and one of our tasting glass. You get to pick if you want a wine tasting or a brew tasting glass, as long as supplies of each last. You will also get a stadium cup at the gate, it is for drinking brews that you purchase.

There will be VA Wineries, an International Wine Tent, and Craft Brewery Tents that will be offering over 100 tastings!  A tasting is just that - a small sampling, and you can have as many as you want!

​Each winery/brewery handles their tastings differently, so be sure and visit all of them - as sometimes they may be offering different wines/brews as the day goes by. 

​If you find something you like, purchase a bottle and share with your friends or get your own glass and drink it at the festival. For the VA WINERIES and the INTERNATIONAL WINES, you can purchase  bottles (unopened) and take them home.  Great way to stock up on your favorites without having to go all the way to the winery. 
Please check back later for list of participating wineries & breweries for the 2020 event.
