United Bank: Bloomin’ Wine Fest
The Bloomin’ Wine Fest is one of forty events that are a part of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival which is in its 90th year. The festival takes place in downtown Winchester’s original market place. 20 Virginia wineries will offer wine tastings and wines sold by the glass or bottle and craft beers to taste and purchase by the glass. In addition, food will be offered by a variety of vendors and there will be three stages with live entertainment from regional bands.
