Frequently Asked Questions

1.) What is the fee to attend the event, and what is included in the cost of the ticket? Ticket prices for the 2025 festival are $60 when purchased in advance and $75 when purchased at the gate. Tickets are valid for the full festival, both Saturday & Sunday. You're able to enjoy all live performances and sample wine from regional wineries. A tasting glass is provided. You would typically pay this amount or more to see just one of the acts performing here. Children 12 & under can come to the event for free, as we encourage children of all ages to experience the wonderful entertainment that we have.

2.) Where can I purchase tickets? Is there a fee for online ticket sales?

Tickets can be purchased online. There is a nominal fee for charging your tickets to your credit card. This defrays the processing fee that we are charged. We make an effort to keep ticket prices as low as we can! Tickets will be emailed to you from "TicketLeap" our ticket processing provider.
