VIP TASTING EVENT 5-7 PM

The VIP Tasting Event at the Pittsburgh Wine Festival is the must-attend wine tasting event of the year. Whether you are a serious wine collector or a serious student of the grape, all of the elements are put into play. The VIP Tasting features special and reserve wines from all winery attendees that will be unavailable during the Grand Tasting. Only 800 guests will have the privilege of taking in the special wines, entertainment and food that is offered from 5-7 PM. Guests may take advantage of the smaller crowd and extra time to talk to winery representatives and winemakers about their craft. VIP guests are welcome to stay for the duration of the event.

GRAND TASTING EVENT 7-9 PM

One of the largest wine events in the country, the Pittsburgh Wine Festival Grand Tasting will attract about 2500 wine connoisseurs from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland and will have the opportunity to sample wines from France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Portugal, Australia, Germany, Chile, New Zealand, as well as California, Pennsylvania and the Pacific Northwest. Food and entertainment will keep guests occupied in between wine sampling. Whether you are new to the wine world or a veteran who's looking to expand his palate this event will provide you with everything you're looking for.
