& directions) (parking) (boaters)
When: October 1
Time: 12 - 6pm
If you haven't been to Yorktown lately, you will be pleasantly surprised. Historic Yorktown at Riverwalk Landing will be the site of the Yorktown Wine Festival 2011 - "The Best of Virginia in Yorktown." Village Events, Ltd. is proud to host this event that will showcase some of Virginia's finest wineries on October 1st. This event promises to be spectacular and the biggest festival in Yorktown to date. 21 Virginia wineries will be with us during the day festival and 8 will participate in our wine dinner later that evening at Riverwalk Restaurant. Buy your tickets to attend Saturday's Wine Festival and we hope you are able to attend both events for food, wine, and lots of fun.
After a beginning ceremony featuring the Fifes and Drums of York Town entertainment for the festival will be provided by Mercy Creek. The nightly menu consists of Pop and Rock, Reggae and Soca, Acoustic and Electric; all different, but the perfect ingredients to a great bowl of musical gumbo. A great group to listen to while sipping your favorite wine on the York River.
Come early and stay late so you will be sure to catch all the featured entertainment during the day!
Entertainment for the wine dinner will feature "So'lach." They will be playing a mix of a mix of traditional Irish music, ballads and jazz standards. They are an acoustic duo, violin and guitar. Two voices...one great sound!
