Haight-Brown Vineyard Festival on the Farm June 20 & 21, 2009

CT's First Established Farm Winery launches its 25th year of their summer wine, music, food & craft festival.

(PRWEB) May 16, 2009 -- The Haight-Brown Vineyard 'Festival on the Farm', formerly A Taste of the Litchfield Hills is a 25 year tradition here at Haight-Brown winery. This event draws hundreds, upwards to 3000, people to historic Litchfield for a festival of wine, cuisine and music on June 20 & 21.

The goal of this festival is to promote what CT has to offer by jurying our exhibitors to include unique, local and /or organic products, crafts, services and music. We are striving to upscale the atmosphere of the festival and cater to our local customer base.

Visitors may stroll the vineyards, go on a wine cellar tour, enjoy live music, educational seminars, shop, dine or (of course) enjoy Haight-Brown wine and local beer.

We are also offering a great opportunity this year for non-exhibiting local businesses to promote their products and services in our festival program. Consider it, as you may, a local "Guide Book" as well as a weekend program. You can reach over 3,000 people by placing your ad or even coupons, at very reasonable rates. Please call me for details.

Finally, We are proud to welcome support from local venues. We are teaming up with: CT Grown, The Edible Nutmeg & The Cambridge House Brew Pub, just to name a few, all in support of our cause.

The Cambridge House brew pub will be conducting beer tastings throughout the weekend and feature locally brewed beer by the glass.

Some other featured vendors include: Pet Parade, Olive Oil Factory, Grilled Pizza, Party Lite, Embracelets, Soap crafters, Wave Hill Breads, etc...

This year promises to be the largest and most exciting festival in our 25 year history. We hope you will consider becoming a part of it as well. Please feel welcome to call or email me with any questions, or to reserve your space. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
