A Mount Vernon event mixes a little history with the celebration of local winemakers at the Spring Wine Festival and Sunset Tour.
The wine festival is reported to be the most popular event held at Mount Vernon each year. Attendees enjoy tours of the wine cellar at the museum and historic home, along with music, food and beautiful views. A visit from actors portraying the first President and his wife is scheduled, and the live performances will include a variety of musical styles.
Wineries from across the state of Virginia contribute their best to the annual festival. This is an opportunity for business owners seeking out locally made wine choices for Corporate Gifts for their clients.
Those that wish to purchase food in advance can have cheese and fruit Boxes to accompany their wine tasting. The on-site restaurant will also have food available. A limited number of VIP tables are offered that include food platters, wine, and table service. The remainder of the guests are reminded to bring a blanket, so they can relax on the lawn and enjoy the views of the Potomac during their stay.
The Spring Wine Festival and Sunset Tour is held from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm each night on May 18 to 20 at 3200 Mount Vernon Highway. Tickets are $42 per person for Friday and $38 for Sunday. The Saturday event is already sold out. VIP tables seat 12 and cost $1,100 to $1,300 each.
All guests sampling wine will be asked to provide a photo ID. Designated drivers receive free soft drinks throughout the event. No pets or outside food or drink are allowed on the grounds during the festival.
