Yorktown's Wine Festival to Feature Wine Tastings, Live Music, Food Trucks, and More than 30 Vendors

September 20, 2019

Tickets are on sale for the Yorktown Wine Festival - The Best of Virginia and Beyond! This annual event is scheduled for Saturday, October 5, from 12 to 6 p.m., and is presented by Village Events Ltd. Proceeds benefit the York Foundation for Public Education as well as the Victory YMCA.
The festival showcases more than a dozen Virginia wineries, cideries, and internationally featured wines for unlimited tastings! This expanded sampling is an effort to show that Yorktown shares more than just history with its sister cities Zweibrücken and Port-Vendres. In a nod to both countries, ticket holders will be able to sample Rieslings from Germany and indulge in sparkling wine from France.

Featured International Wines:
France: Francois Montand Sparkling Rosé, Mont Gravet Carignan, Chateau de Fontenille Bordeaux, and Maison Joseph Burrier Chateau de Beauregard Saint Veran
Germany: Dr. Loosen Riesling, Villa Wolf Gewurztraminer, Villa Wolf Dornfelder, Dr. Heyden Pinot Noir

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND… this year's admission ticket once again includes entry to a designated Virginia Craft Beer garden near the fountain featuring limited tastings (20 per ticket holder) of specialty brews from Alewerks Brewing Company, Billsburg Brewery, Bold Rock Hard Cider, Devils Backbone Brewery, Larry's Original Hard Lemonade, and St. George Brewing Company. Full cup sales will also be available.
Several food trucks and food vendors will sell everything from seafood to BBQ. Look for Boyd's Tasty Dogs, Caribbean Styled Baked Goods/ISLSNAC, The Great Wicomico Oyster Company, Kathi's Clam Chowder, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Pop's Kettle Corn, Riverwalk Restaurant, SMOKE BBQ, The Scottish Pig, and VA Blue Crab.
