Upcoming Wine festivals to visit

Hello all,

There are some great inexpensive wine festivals coming up (I'm sure you'll see me at all of them) and I'd like to share them with you.

The Swiss Wine Festival - Vevay, IN (about 5 minutes past Belterra Casino)
When: August 25th - 28th
Where: 101 Ferry Street, Vevay, IN 47043
About: This is a great festival, they have live music, wine tastings, beer tastings, river boat cruises, grape stomping contest (which I'm all ready registered for), food, arts & crafts, and much much more.
Cost: It's $4 to get into the festival and if you want to taste all of the wines in the wine pavilion that's $15 per person or $25 for two people. There are quite a few wineries on the Indiana wine trail that participate in the wine tasting, I believe they have over 35 wines to try. The wine pavilion will be open till 10pm for tastings. Now the beer tent will be open till 1am and have live music.

Jungle Jim's Wine International Festival - Fairfield OH

Your ticket price includes a small booklet that has all the wineries listed with all the wines you'll be tasting, a wine glass, and some lite bite food to try. It's a great time and I look forward to this festival every year.
