“Each year, we’ve grown the wine festival and are thrilled to bring this event to the Middle Peninsula community,” said Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Makalia Records. The Chamber hosts the wine festival each year.
“This event is more than about wine. It’s about celebrating a growing industry in our state, bringing our community together and showcasing what Gloucester has to offer.”
The wine festival will feature wine tastings, wine educational seminars, live musical entertainment, an assortment of vendors and fine food.
