On the East Coast, there are two great wine festivals on the weekend of September 18 and 19. The mid- Atlantic states are delightful to visit in September. The temperatures tend to cool off especially at night and humid days are infrequent. While planning a visit to either of these two wine festivals, you may want to check out the weather. Be sure to have sunscreen on hand.

In Westminster, Maryland there is the  Maryland Wine Festival located at the Carroll County Farm Museum. This festival includes food and craft vendors, live music, wine seminars and an amateur wine competition. When planning your visit to this well known wine festival, be sure to check out the Carroll County Farm Museum website.

The Virginia Wine Festival takes place at Bull Run Park Special Events Center in Centreville, VA. More than fifty Virginia wineries will be participating.  Seminars and workshops will be available. Live music, food vendors and artisans will all be part of the fun. Anyone who travels to this wine festival will want to check out the Bull Run Region Park website. The park offers camping, walking trails, disc golf, soccer fields and more.

Enjoy these festivals and discover many of the wines Maryland and Virginia produce.

Cheers! Kathy
