A bit about the Vintage Ohio Wine Festival

The Vintage Ohio Wine Festival commences in the beginning of August at the Lake Metroparks Farmpark. It is two days of exploring wineries, enjoying food, and live entertainment! Plus, there are always a lot of fun vendors there too for shopping! All of the wineries are Ohio-based, and it is a fun way to get to try new wines.

This event is family-friendly. So if you can’t find a sitter, no problem!

What I love it!

First, I love the location. It is a beautiful spot for a festival and just relaxing in general. Because there is so much space, if you or someone in your group has sensory issues, it is easy to find a place to decompress. While I don’t plan on taking children this year, this is important because I get overwhelmed at times and have anxiety.

The setup is fantastic. People are generally friendly. To visit and taste wines at the winery tents is pretty straightforward. They don’t sell wine at the tents. However, at the end of your day, there is a setup with each of the wineries where you can purchase your favorites! You receive a guide with each winery listed for tasting the wines. Be sure to mark your favorites at the time of tasting so you can remember them when purchasing later.
