VT Insider Tip
The afternoon sessions are less crowded and you'll actually be able to talk to the producers at their booths. Evening sessions turn into more of a party.
About
Held twice yearly (spring and fall), this festival brings hundreds of wines, spirits, beers, and ciders to the MTCC for tasting events. It's a fun outing for wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike, with sommelier-led tastings and food pairings.
What to Expect
Large tasting event at the Convention Centre. Hundreds of producers pouring samples. Seminars and food pairings available.
Pro Tips
Pace yourself — there are hundreds of options. Start with lighter wines and work your way to bolder ones. Eat before you go and drink water between tastings.
