Buffalo has a ton of beer related festivals but wine aficionados can rejoice because Buffalo Wine Festival is returning to the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center this weekend on April 23! We are extremely lucky to live in an area where we can visit a variety of wineries that are only a short drive away. Our climate is extremely suitable for growing grapes…in fact, New York State is the country’s third largest grape producer. New York State is also home to more than 40 different grape varieties, which allows for a great selection of different types of wine that are unique to our region. Buffalo Wine Festival gives New York regional wineries an opportunity to showcase their products.
Buffalo Wine Festival attracts thousands of wine enthusiasts every year. It allows people to not just sample wines from wineries across the region but gives them the chance to speak with vintners about their products. This is not only a great opportunity to stock up on your favorite wine but also find some new favorites to add to your collection.
Buffalo Wine Festival will host two sessions – one in the afternoon from 1pm-4pm and one in the evening from 6pm-9pm. VIP tickets are available and will allow ticket holders the opportunity to arrive one hour before the doors open to the public, providing more time to check out the wineries and vendors. Designated driver tickets are also available. You must be 21 years of age and purchase tickets to attend.
This year over 18 wineries as well as several distilleries, cideries and breweries will be participating. They include:
In addition to the amazing selection of wineries there will be over 30 vendors offering a wide variety of goods and services. They include:
