Wine tasting is only part of what makes this a fantastic summer event!
Over 80 wine, food, and art vendors!
Nestled along the scenic banks of the Cannon River, Hannah’s Bend Park is the host site for the Cannon Falls Wine & Art Festival. The event is in its eighth year and features over a dozen regional wineries & cideries plus food vendors, and a variety of art to peruse and purchase (over 80 vendors in all.)
The Wine Market
While the Art Festival is free to attend (parking is free as well), one aspect that makes this festival unique is that it includes wine sampling, AND you may also purchase bottles to take home — an excellent opportunity to both try and buy wine from locations all across the state, that would otherwise be impossible to visit all in one day — or even two!
Tickets must be purchased for wine sampling (and to shop the wine market). With coupon code uncorkedweb2: $23 includes 10 tastings, or $33 for 15 wine tastings. Both options include a commemorative take-home wine glass.
If you’d prefer not to participate in wine tasting, wine and beer are available by the glass from other vendors onsite.
