The Killington Wine Festival returns for the eight year July 17th

The weekend of July 17th would be a great time to visit Killington this summer. This weekend coincides with the 8th Annual Killington Wine Festival, produced by the Killington Chamber of Commerce.

The Killington Wine Festival is a signature event for the Killington region each July. Last year over 300 wines were available to be sampled by the nearly 500 people who attended. This year, Vermont wine distributors partnering with the Killington Chamber of Commerce will once again be presenting wines from around the world with the Green Mountains of Vermont and Killington Peak as a scenic backdrop.

Tickets for the Estate Wine Tasting on Friday evening July 17th, and the Grand Tasting at 4241' on Saturday afternoon July 18th are available by calling the Killington Chamber of Commerce office at 802.773.4181. Tickets are priced at $50 per person for each of these events.

Reservations for other events associated with the Killington Wine Festival including wine dinners at local restaurants, and "Wine and Nine" at Green Mountain National Golf Course, are priced separately and can be made by calling the respective business directly. Many local establishments will also be hosting wine parties during the festival to round out the weekend.

The Birch Ridge Inn will be hosting a wine dinner associated with the Wine Festival on Saturday evening, July 18th. Reservations for the wine dinner is a must, as it sells out each year. Call the inn at 800-435-8566 or go online to www.birchrdge.com for more details.
