Colorful tents, rolling hills, picnic tables, and groves of tall oaks provide a tranquil setting for the Vintage Ohio Wine Festival, the premier food and wine event of the year.

Vintage Ohio was the first event of its kind in the Midwest. With a 26-year run, it is the granddaddy of nearly every Ohio wine festival and the model for scores more across the country.

Sample wines from Ohio wineries offering regional wines ranging from world-class wines like Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc or Riesling to fun-to-drink fruit wines made from fresh strawberries, blackberries, peaches and raspberries. Whether one enjoys red, white, blush, dry, sweet or something in-between, there will be an opportunity to find a favorite “Vintage Experience.”

There is also plenty of scrumptious food, cooking school demonstrations, two stages of live music entertainment, artisans and shopping.

Tickets must be purchased in advance. No tickets will be sold at the gate.
