A FREE e-zine and web portal delivering details, news and information about upcoming wine festivals in the USA and worldwide. We firmly believe that most wine festivals would attract larger crowds if more of us knew about them! Wine festivals have become a much better holiday than visiting traditional weekend destinations.

Web links to wine festivals, events and happenings can be found on our calendar by date or region. We have divided the globe into only three sections; Eastern USA, Western USA and Other Wine Fests. We have a Google calendar so you can quickly move a wine fest to your own calendar.

Read comments on wine festivals we have attended and see our blogs where we may comment on just about anything in the area of wine festivals. We added a section on vineyard visits and, of course, post our almost monthly newsletter, the SPIT OR SWALLOW, as well.

Well, we have two things to assist us getting this unpleasant trend changed. First and foremost, we have developed our own coasters which you will see below. It says it all. We are happy to pass along a few of them to each and every one of you as long as our quantity lasts.

Alas, we’d love to hear your comments and/or suggestions. Send us an email at david@winefestnews.com, pretty please……..
