Boordy Vineyards Sundays in October Oct 11, 18, 25, 1pm
Bands, food, wine, and (hopefully) nice Maryland fall weather. Always a strong play on a nice Sunday afternoon.
Old Town Food and Wine Festival – October 10-11, 11am
Lots of wineries showing up for this one, as well as plenty of seminars to keep you busy.
Looks like a strong lineup as $30 gets you unlimited tastings and into all the seminars.
This wine festival will feature the best of Virginia’s wines. What’s more, the Viking Culinary Stage is packed on Saturday and Sunday with amazing programs. All are included in the price of admission. Oh, did I mention, unlimited wine tastings too!
2009 Federal Hill Wine Festival – October 25, Noon
Take a good look at the poster to the right. The golden sun, the rolling hills, the picture-esque vineyard… you won’t be seeing any of that at the Federal Hill Wine Festival. Our experience was documented last year and was best described as “Slamming champagne in the middle of the street.” It was as if we paid admission simply to avoid arrest.
A fun time, recommended if you’re in the area but only if you’re down to pay $25 for 12 sampling tickets AND pay extra for the premium samples that will be gone by 2pm. Website, directions, etc…
