Norfolk Wine Festival Celebrates 25 Years

The 25th annual fall Town Point Virginia Wine Festival returns Oct. 20 and 21 to Town Point Park in Norfolk, Va.

During the two-day festival, guests can sample and purchase more than 200 wines from more than 20 Virginia wineries and vineyards. Guests can choose to sample their wines at reserved tables or in private chalets. Tickets for the event must be purchased by Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012.

Those who want to continue sampling wine can visit the newly opened Mermaid Winery, Virginia's first urban winery and tasting room. In addition to making its own wines, the Mermaid Winery offers more than 30 artisan wines and local beers paired with a special tasting menu.
