Apple Fest Returns to Wildside Winery August 22 & 23

There’s something about apple sangria, wine, live music, and a late-summer weekend on the farm that just feels right.

Apple Fest returns to Wildside Winery August 22 & 23, bringing together local vendors, live music, seasonal flavors, and plenty of Wildside wine for two full days at the winery.

Whether you come for an hour or settle in for the afternoon, this is an easy, come-and-go weekend made for wandering the farm, discovering something new from a local maker, listening to music with a glass of wine, and soaking up the season.

Apples + Wildside Wine 🍎🍷

Apples have always been part of the story here at Wildside. Our 30-acre farm is home to our orchard as well as our vineyard, and Apple Fest is our chance to celebrate one of our favorite fruits of the season.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll find apple-inspired sangria alongside all of your Wildside favorites. Grab a glass, find a comfortable spot, and stay awhile.

Shop, Eat & Discover Local 🛍️

One of our favorite parts of festival weekends is filling the farm with local makers, small businesses, and great food.

This year’s Apple Fest vendor lineup includes:

Bling It On Permanent Jewelry

Evan's Apothecary

Fat Daddy’s Cookie Co

Junepops

Lara's Arts and Crafts LLC.

Our Whatknots

Sno Top

Taste A Dah Island

The Wandering Dog

Thrift & Knit Creations

Traci’s Cake Pops

Wild Bill’s Beer Cheese

Come hungry and leave some room in the car for whatever you discover. You’ll find plenty to eat, sip, browse, and take home while supporting local businesses at the same time.
