SPRINGFIELD – Wine lovers are invited to the Clark County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 11, to sample wines from all corners of the state, shop the local crafters and artisans and tantalize taste buds with foods from local food trucks and restaurant vendors.

Attendees can relax and enjoy the sounds of regional musicians and learn to make appetizers that pair well with wines. Cooking demos will be offered throughout the day.

The highlight of this festival is the opportunity to sample Ohio wines and to purchase bottles to enjoy at home. All are invited to gather friends and family and start a tradition of celebrating all that Ohio wines have to offer.

This is an indoor event, so rain or shine, organizers will be pouring wine.

Live entertainment includes Albarino Affair from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and Ohio Brass and Electric from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
