The Gloucester Wine Festival is fast approaching, with online sale of tickets ending at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday.

This year, the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce’s premier annual event has been expanded to two days—Saturday, Sept. 23 (from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, Sept. 24 (from noon to 5 p.m.).

Single-day tickets are $50, with two-day tickets available for $90. After Saturday’s online ticket sale cutoff, all other tickets must be purchased at the ticket tent at Ware Academy, where attendees will park before they take a shuttle bus to the event at Brent and Becky’s Bulbs.

Those purchasing tickets online are automatically entered into a sweepstakes. Two lucky people will win the prize, which includes a Friday and Saturday night stay at the Historic Inn at Warner Hall (breakfast included), gift baskets from Zoll Vineyard, Whitley’s Peanuts and Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, a $75 dinner gift certificate to Bangkok Noi Asian Bistro, “Virginia is for Lovers” apparel and VIP passes for both days of the wine festival.

Be sure to pick up next week’s Gazette-Journal, which will include a special section devoted to the Gloucester Wine Festival.
