wine festivals
Grape harvest gatherings
Wine festivals are organized events celebrating wine, typically featuring tastings from multiple vineyards or producers.
They range from local gatherings in wine-producing regions to large destination events drawing thousands of visitors.
Most combine wine sampling with food, music, and educational sessions: We spent the weekend at the Napa wine festival.
The atmosphere tends toward the festive rather than the formal.
