West Virginia’s Mountain Heritage Arts & Crafts Festival is this weekend from Friday, September 23 thru Sunday September 25.

Held only two times each year, the West Virginia’s Mountain Heritage Arts & Crafts Festival is definitely an event to plan on attending this weekend. In addition to many, many art and crafts vendors, eight West Virginia wineries will be at the event to share wine tastings with visitors.

The West Virginia wineries to be included in this weekend’s festival are

While the wineries are all located in West Virginia, artists and crafters are from several states in addition to West Virginia. Other states represented are Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and more.
