Virginia Beach is a picturesque waterfront metropolis, a tourism hotspot that is one of the cultural hubs of Virginia. This city has a legacy stretching back hundreds of years to the dawn of the United States’ modern history and a rising economy that makes it one of the best places to live on the East Coast. Another thing that makes Virginia Beach such a great place to live is the constant stream of events and festivals within the city. One of the biggest and most exciting Virginia Beach festivals will celebrate its 25th year: Neptune’s Fall Wine Festival.
The Fall Wine Festival is hosted by the Neptune Festival of Virginia, a non-profit that puts on around 40 festival events in Virginia every year. While every iteration of the Fall Wine Festival has been a blast, this year could be the biggest and best yet.
The Fall Wine Festival will be set at its usual location in Neptune Park and will take place from September 10th-11th. It will be a beautiful day along the water, the perfect way to spend a weekend with friends or family. The age for entry is 21 and over, corresponding with the legal drinking age.
The Fall Wine Festival will feature more than sixty wines available from over a dozen wineries, all based in Virginia. This festival is an opportunity to meet and hear from the people driving the growth of Virginia’s wine industry. Attendees can chat with wine producers and notable sommeliers to hear firsthand why the wine is made and what sets it apart.
Beyond the delicious wine at the event, there will also be great food and live music. Local bands and singers will play on stage throughout the day, so attendees can enjoy a musical backdrop while they sip some of the finest wine Virginia has to offer. The Fall Wine Festival will also have several food trucks available, one of which will be the well-known Ynot Italian truck, offering delicious Italian food that pairs perfectly with some wine.
Several ticket options for this event are available depending on preferences. Each ticket to the event includes a commemorative wine glass and tastings throughout the event. There are also VIP tickets that go on sale, which allow purchasers to enter the event one hour early.
If you’re looking to attend with a group, purchasing a table is an option. Every table comes with eight tickets, a reserved table with chairs, an ice bucket with a bottle of wine, and eight drinks of water. Costs vary depending on days, with tickets ranging from $35-60 depending on date and ticket type and tables costing $380-430 depending on the date.
