Presented by Embrey Mill, the annual Berry & Wine Festival returns for a second year on Saturday, May 11 from noon to 5 p.m. with some of the most popular local wineries, spirits, local fare, and family-friendly entertainment on tap.
This year, festival-goers can enjoy the 819-acre North Stafford community and up to 14 unique tastings from Hartwood Winery, Potomac Point Vineyard and Winery, Lake Anna Winery, Mattaponi Winery, Rogers Ford Winery, and A. Smith Bowman Distillery.
Attendees can fill up on local fare favorites including C & T Produce, Glory Dawgs, Funnel Cake Cafe, LLC., and The UFO Truck which are set to feature delicious light bites and treats all day long.
Hosted at Embrey Mill, “the Disney World” of neighborhoods, the Berry & Wine Festival has plenty to offer kids and families including face painting, tattoo art, balloon twists, DJ BnB Sounds with a bubble machine and Godzilla Golf sponsored by Augustine Golf Club.
“We’re seeing a ton of excitement around the return of this year’s festival,” says Fred Garnes, director of marketing for Embrey Mills’ developer, Newland Communities. “We worked closely with Stafford County Tourism and Grapes & Grains Trail to bring together some of our area’s most popular wineries, distilleries, eateries and entertainment as a celebration of the community and local flavor. “
As a hometown neighborhood designed with kids and families in mind, Embrey’s 285-acres of open spaces, 10 miles of trails and seven distinct parks throughout the neighborhood pairs perfectly with the jam-packed schedule of activities for this year’s Berry & Wine festival.
