Changes Planned for 2013 Vintage Ohio

by · January 13, 2013

The Ohio Wine Producers Association (OWPA) announced in a January email to members that a “Premier” ticket will sold for the annual 2013 Vintage Ohio Wine Festival which will be August 2nd and 3rd in Kirtland, Ohio.

The new ticket is to “accommodate consumers concerned about the shortage of ‘premium’ wines poured on Festival Field.”   According to the OWPA,  the premium admission will be priced at about $60 per person and will include a ticket to a Preview Party where winemakers will be on hand to pour 2-3 of their Ohio Quality Wine certified gold and silver Ohio grown vinifera/hybrids.
