By A lot of great specialty festivals are taking place around DC these days. Music festivals, beer festivals, food festivals, and others are giving us more and more options every weekend this summer.
How can it get any better? Perhaps with VinoFest, this Saturday, June 28, at Union Market, which combines two festivals into one with a festival of wine and a festival of music!
VinoFest promises chart-topping musicians, art exhibitions and a big selection of wine in a curated experience that includes local and imported wines, food vendors and music concerts.
For general admission at $75, gain access to wine tasting and music concerts
For VIP access at $125, gain premier access to the concerts, wine tasting and an exclusive VIP lounge with Belvedere Vodka-sponsored open bar w/ catered apps and deserts.
For a concert pass at $50, enjoy the full concert lineup without the wine tasting. Food and beer vendors also are on site for those looking for an a la carte bite or drink!
The wine tasting includes a to complementary glass of sparkling wine as well as a four-hour session of wine tasting from 2-6pm.
Music acts include:
- Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation
- Jesse Boykins III
- See-I
- Jetty
- DJ Spinser Tracy
- Clairy Browne and the Bangin’ Rackettes
- Body Language
- Bonnie Rash
VinoFest is presented by VinoLovers, a DC-based startup that has launched a new wine subscription club that personalizes wine selections to the taste of each member. A portion of proceeds benefit two national charities:
- Bike2TheBeach, a nonprofit that promotes the benefits of bike riding
- Dreams for Kids DC, a nonprofit that creates opportunities for at-risk youth through service, leadership and social activities
VinoFest’s stated mission is to “blend philanthropy, entrepreneurs, tech, art, music, and food all in one explosive summer party!”
