The Sunday schedule still has plenty of entertainment with four concerts, a wine tasting, wine seminar and lots of delicious festival food from local venders. My favorite food that I tried from yesterday was the crab stuffed ravioli smothered in cheese and I can’t wait to get over there and find out what my new favorite will be today.

We all sampled a myriad of red and white wines which flow in abundance as you walk through the festival and why wouldn’t it with over 300 varieties of wine available. Come on out to the festival today with your friends or family. Parking is free and located across from the venue, close and easy.
