Wine festivals can be a wine-lovers dream! At no other venue can visitors enjoy wines made by a wide variety of wineries and vineyards, offered by the wine-makers themselves, and often, but not always, all out in the fresh open air. Wine festivals are an excellent place to try new wines as wine-makers often present their latest vintages and newest releases. Having the wine-maker right there, filling your glass is an opportunity matched only by touring the winery itself, so it's an excellent opportunity to get to know the wineries and vineyards in your state. Even in areas where wineries are scarce, there are often annual wine or food festivals. And again, this means that wine makers travel from all over for the opportunity to introduce their wines to you! Wine festivals are most often accompanied by great food. The same is true of food or culinary festivals, which usually offer wine tasting as well. Many wine festivals function as fund raisers for great non-profit organizations or causes, as if you needed another great reason to go. Some may feature fine art, incredible live music performances and even celebrity chefs! There are black tie wine events and auctions where guests can purchase tickets in advance, don their finest wears and bid on their favorite bottle of wine. There are harvest festivals where specific wineries or wine regions celebrate the years grape harvest with fun festivities for the public to enjoy. We've even found a few Wine & Balloon festivals. If you have a passion for great wine then these wonderful festivals are sure to arouse other passions in you as well.
