2017 LV Cider and Wine Fest

Saturday, October 21, 2017 12:00 PM
Saturday, October 21, 2017 10:00 PM

The 2017 Lehigh Valley Cider and Wine Festival - an on-field event featuring hard cider and wine tastings from local and regional cideries and wineries - makes its return on Sat., Oct. 21 with two separate event sessions - one afternoon and one evening session at Coca-Cola Park.

Attendees will each receive a collector's stemless glass to enjoy their cider and wine tastings and can also purchase a variety of food and crafts from local food trucks, vendors and artisans. The festival also includes live entertainment, the ability to purchase cider and wine by the glass, bottle or case and other fun activities such as an apple launch competition. Interested parties are encouraged to purchase their tickets today as this event has sold out each year of its existence.

  

Lehigh Valley Cider and Wine Festival tickets for both sessions are on sale now starting at $35 per person for a four-hour tasting from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Session #1) or 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (Session #2). VIP tickets are $45 per person and include a one-hour earlier entrance time (11 a.m. for Session #1 and 5 p.m. for Session #2) and a five-hour tasting. From now through Friday, Aug. 25, save $5 on all tasting tickets with a special early-bird ticket offer. For just $5, tickets are available for designated drivers who will receive complimentary soda or for those just wishing to visit the various food vendors and artisans. Interested parties are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance as there will be an additional $5 charge on all tickets purchased on the day of the festival, should any remain. To purchase your early-bird tickets or for more information, visit www.LVCiderandWine.com, call (610) 841-PIGS (7447) or visit the Coca-Cola Park ticket office during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
