Wine and Chocolate Festival

Join us at the New York State Fairgrounds for the annual Wine and Chocolate Festival, a delightful celebration of local wines and gourmet treats. This event features a vast selection of wines from various wineries across the region, allowing attendees to explore a multitude of styles and flavors. Admission includes unlimited wine sampling and a souvenir wine glass, along with opportunities to purchase bottles of favorite selections to take home. The festival also showcases offerings from local distilleries and cideries, ensuring a diverse tasting experience.
Beyond wine, attendees can indulge in a variety of chocolates, cheeses, and specialty snacks, including a fun chocolate fountain. The event includes a shopping experience with mini boutiques featuring jewelry, clothing, and unique gifts. A centralized Wine Check service is available for those who wish to store their wine purchases while enjoying the festival. Please note that New York State law prohibits consuming wine on-site after purchase, and all attendees must be 21 or older to sample wines, with ID checks at the entrance. Designated Driver tickets are available for those under 21 or not sampling wine, allowing everyone to enjoy the festivities responsibly. With two sessions available, attendees can choose from afternoon or evening options, and early ticket purchase is recommended due to high demand. Join us for an unforgettable day of sipping, savoring, and shopping at the Wine and Chocolate Festival!
