Holiday Wine Festival

Vaillancourt Folk Art invites you to its inaugural Holiday Wine Festival, a curated wine tasting experience designed to help you discover exceptional wines for Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas celebrations, and holiday host gifts. Tailored to the tastes of the Vaillancourt Collector, this 21+ event partners exclusively with Ruby Wines to showcase a wide-ranging portfolio of high-quality selections perfectly suited for the holiday season.

Hosted in Blaxton Hall, the festival will feature 10–15 tasting tables, each pouring 4–5 wines. Guests will enjoy a relaxed, premium experience through ticketed, timed admission, beginning with a VIP Hour from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by General Admission from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. VIP guests receive early access and a more intimate opportunity to engage with exhibitors and featured wineries.

Each table will highlight a “Vaillancourt Preferred” wine available for same-day purchase through the Vaillancourt Folk Art Retail Gallery, either in person or via a convenient web app with same-day will-call pickup. Additional wines may be pre-purchased for pickup the following week. Select wineries and suppliers may also offer brief presentations during the tasting, adding an educational element to the experience. Outside, the festive Yuletide Wine Garden will be partially open with food service, completing a Christmas-themed afternoon of exceptional wine, learning, and seasonal cheer.
