Winter Winefest & Market
February 19, 2023
Musikfest Café presented by Yuengling
Raise a glass at our brand-new celebration of all things wine!
The Winter Winefest & Market is a wine lovers dream – an event that features sampling and the chance to buy glasses and bottles of wine direct from some of Pennsylvania’s best wineries! But it’s not just wine – the event will also feature vendors and other retailers selling wine-adjacent goods… think cheese, chocolate, and more!
Guests can also add on interactive seminars designed to teach you how to assemble the perfect charcuterie board or the finer points of wine tasting.
Our partner at Levy Restaurants will be selling a variety of easy-to-eat food cups you can take with you to each winery’s table, including a charcuterie cup made from Boar’s Head products, a vegan charcuterie cup, a cheese cup, a hummus & pretzel cup, and a fruit cup. Food purchased at our Palette & Pour kitchen on the 1st floor of the ArtsQuest Center can also be brought into the event.
