We were again fortunate to have a great weather day for
our Fourth Annual Yadkin Valley Grape Festival. Several thousand visitors enjoyed
fine wines, great food, and wonderful entertainment in Downtown Yadkinville. Almost
1400 chose to sample the wines of the many Yadkin Valley Wineries that participated
in this
year's event.
The
Yadkin Valley Grape Festival is free and open to the public, including families
with children
(for your safety and the safety of others, please leave your
pets at home). Vendor displays and music will take place adjacent to the wine
tasting area. Food and non-wine beverages will be available for purchase from
selected vendors. Wine tasters must be at least 21 years of age (all tasters will
be required to show positive photo identification) to obtain a tasting wristband
and Yadkin Valley Grape Festival engraved wine glass.
Picnic tables will
be available and there is plenty of lawn space for blankets. We will be having
children's activities going on throughtout the day sponsored by the Yadkin County
Smart Start.
We will also be having our FourthAnnual Ginny B. Motorcyle
