With a General Admission ticket, you will gain access to over 120 vendors including wineries, distilleries, cideries, breweries, meaderies, non-alcoholic craft beverage vendors, artisan food vendors, food trucks, artisan crafters, and more! All food and beverage vendors will be giving out free samples, so pace yourself and have fun! You will also have access to the improved culinary demonstrations and other activities that the festival has to offer this year. Special thanks to Maplewood Ice for being our official ice sponsor, and keeping all your beverages icy cold all weekend long!

If you’re looking to throw down and party, Saturday is your day to attend when the majority of attendees explore the festival.

However, if you’re looking for a little slower pace, shorter lines for sampling, and a better chance to enjoy our live entertainment lineup, then Sunday is your day! Take your time and enjoy the festival weekend! To find out all the reasons you should snag a Sunday Tasting Ticket, click on this link to read our Sunday Funday blog.

If you’re trying to decide whether to hit the festival VIP or General Admission style, keep in mind that there’s nothing “general” about the GA Tasting Ticket- it’s an amazing experience worth every penny and could be the perfect fit for you and your festie friends. Unlimited food and beverage samples, hours of access to vendors of all kinds, and you get all the necessary items to take on the festival, ready to rock. Be sure to check out the merch tent staffed by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Southern Adirondacks for essential festival survivor gear like hands-free wine glass necklaces and wine glass koozies…a portion of every piece of festival merchandise that’s purchased is donated to this incredible organization!
