Ash Lawn-Highland’s 18th Annual WineFest

If out of town drivers and drunk celebrating college graduates is not your thing, then you'll avoid Charlottesville like the plague this weekend and instead come out to the Ash Lawn-Highland 18th Annual WineFest.While you are there, make sure you stop by Kira's Crepes because nothing goes better with grapes, than crepes! Here's our menu to help you decide.

If you've been reading me for a while now, you know how I love a good deal. The more money I save you, the more money you'll have available for a crepe! In that spirit, if you plan to go to the WineFest, buy your tickets now and save $5. If you can't make it this weekend, but still want to check out Ash Lawn-Highland,  WishWish can make it happen for cheap.

One of the vineyards featured at this wine festival is First Colony. We held our wedding reception there and they hold a special place in my heart.  WishWish is offering a deal on a First Colony wine tasting.

The weather is suppose to be beautiful, so I hope to see you this weekend.

Ash Lawn Highland Virginia Wine Festival - Featured Winery's

It appears that Ash Lawn-Highland's Virginia Wine Fest website is still down. Since a lot of people have been asking me for information, here is what I know.


Ash Lawn-Highland's 18th Annual Virginia WineFest is May 19-20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $15 for advance reservations (through May 18 only), $20 at the door and $7 for children under 12. HOWEVER, Cville Saver is selling half price tickets so if you are going buy those and save the rest of your money to buy crepes.


Food at Ash Lawn-Highland's Virginia Wine Fest:
Kira's Crepes - Menu
Wood Fired Pizza


Winery's at Ash Lawn-Highland's Virginia Wine Fest:
First Colony (Tangent: Happens to be one of my favorites, Mr. Kira's Crepes and I had our wedding reception here and it was beautiful.)

I got this information from the promoter so I'm fairly certain it is accurate, however only a few of these vineyards list this event on their website, so who knows.

If this page was useful to you, please stop by during the festival and say hi ... and maybe buy a crepe too, they are tasty.
