The wine festival offers a family-friendly day of food and entertainment, showcasing the talents of local Schuylkill County wineries, including Hegins own Red Shale Ridge Winery, Benigna’s Creek Vineyard and Winery (Klingerstown), Stone Mountain Wine Cellars (Pine Grove), Long Trout Winery (Auburn), Galen Glen Vineyards & Winery (Andreas), and Fieldwood Winery (Schuylkill Haven). A new addition to this year’s lineup is Blue Lizard Winery from Andreas, PA.
Advanced tickets are on sale until August 26, 2018 for $12. Regular admission price, including at the festival gates, is $15. Attendees are encouraged to bring canopies and chairs to the park. Snacks are permitted but festival co-founder, Mary Tobash discourages full meals being brought in to the festival.
“We’ve added some new food vendors for the 10th annual festival and M & M’s catering from Ashland has been kind enough to provide a pre-order menu for groups of 10 or more so people can really sit back and enjoy the festival with ready-to-go food.” The pre-order menu is available on the festival’s Facebook page and website.
Live entertainment is new for 2018 with Popstar Drive of Tunkhannock, PA, featured on the big stage. Local favorites 3zz a Crowd and DJ Dan Poletti will be entertaining from the center stage. Plenty of vendors will be on hand selling popular items including cheeses, roasted peanuts, cigars, crafts, and wine glass holders. New vendors are in place to celebrate the 10th annual festival, including Skook House of Jerky of Pottsville, Confectionary Imaging of Valley View, and Danika’s, a gourmet mustard company from Dover, PA.
The annual table decorating contest will also be held during the event. Participants are asked to design a table based on this year’s theme of Red Wine & Blue. All participants not winning one of five prizes will receive a complimentary bottle of wine. The top 5 winners will each receive a deluxe wine basket. Festive costumes are also encouraged at the festival and participants will receive a free bottle of wine.
Festival gates open at 11:00 am. Entertainment begins at 12:00pm, with the wine-tasting starting at 1:00pm. The Hegins Park offers plenty of room for bus or limo parking. Discount tickets are available for groups of 10 people or more. Visit www.schuylkillwinefestival.com for more information on pre-ordering tickets. This is a rain or shine event.
