Throughout the month, guests can select from nearly 50 local wineries and enjoy onsite tastings and demonstrations, tours, live entertainment, and farm-to-table culinary experiences. Visitors can crush grapes underfoot while marveling at the sight of colorful hot air balloons floating over the vineyards.
