Art & Wine Festival:
A Weekend of Wine, Art, Kid’s Activities & More
The sixth annual Deep Creek Lake Art & Wine Festival weekend, September 10-12, 2010, benefiting the American Red Cross, Western Potomac Chapter, features wine pairing dinners, beautifully handcrafted works by local and regional artisans, wine tasting from over 200 Maryland and national wineries, live music, children’s activities, brunches, lodging packages, and more.
The Art & Wine Festival begins Friday night, September 10 with area restaurants offering special pre-fix wine pairing dinners, teaming up with national wineries to pair pre-selected wines with specially prepared dinner courses. The menus will be published on www.deepcreek winefest.com several weeks prior to the festival weekend. Reservations are suggested as these wine pairing dinners have become popular with visitors as well as residents.
The weekend continues on Saturday, September 11, from noon until 6:00 PM at the Garrett County Fairgrounds in McHenry, Maryland. Over thirty professional artisans and craftsmen will display and sell their art, from handcrafted jewelry and wood carvings to oil paintings, and hand painted furniture and accessories.
National distributors and Maryland wineries will offer samplings of a variety of over 200 wines to satisfy even the most discriminating tastes. Guests may purchase the wines at the festival’s retail store (open until 7 PM), with net proceeds donated to the Red Cross.
Kids too will enjoy the festival with activities just for them including face painting, balloon art, carriage rides, moon bounce, and more.
