For anyone who thinks “But first, wine.”
Are you the kind of person who loves kicking back and enjoying a tall glass of wine after a long day of work? Do you dream of taking trips to the West Coast, visiting vineyards and wine tasting every weekend? Don’t worry, we do too. Instead of buying an expensive bottle of wine or a plane ticket to California, what if we told you that you can sample hundreds of different wines right here in Chicago?
The Windy City Wine Festival will take place at Buckingham Fountain in Chicago on September 9 – 10. The fest will give you the opportunity to sample over 300 different wines from around the globe in a casual setting for a very inexpensive price. If you don’t feel like drinking or wine isn’t your thing, no problem! There will also be local chefs and restaurants selling their signature dishes, cooking demonstrations, and seminars conducted by event sponsors.
Put down your $5 bottle of Barefoot and bring your crew downtown to the Windy City Wine Festival!
