The Vintage Ohio Wine Festival returns to the iconic Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Lake County for its 29th year. This festival features wineries from every corner of the state to share their wines, mead, ciders, and everything in between! This year they feature a new cider focus with a designated tent, for 15 wineries and 3 cideries in tents waiting to share their wines on Festival Field.

This sounds like so much fun! Wish we had something like this where I live.
