ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival is an annual event held in Rhinebeck, New York, at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in the heart of the Hudson Valley. For the past 23 years, the festival has celebrated the local food and wine culture of the region, which is known for its fertile farmland, vineyards, and orchards.

The festival features more than 200 vendors offering a wide variety of food, craft beers, spirits, wine, and other artisan products. Visitors can sample wines, spirits, and craft beers, taste artisanal cheeses and chocolates, and sample a wide variety of gourmet foods.

Attendees are also able to purchase bottles of wine, spirits, and beer without the need to carry their purchases throughout the day. The festivals storage and pickup system ensures all attendee’s purchases will be available in one convenient location.

In addition to the food and wine, the festival also features live music, cooking demonstrations, and seminars on topics such as wine tasting, food pairing, and sustainable farming practices.

The Hudson Valley Wine and Food Festival takes place every year the weekend after Labor Day. It attracts thousands of visitors each year and has become one of the largest and most popular food and wine festivals in the Northeast.
