Vintage Indiana
Wandering the midwest next weekend, Road Trips Foodies? Consider dropping in to Vintage Indiana: A Festival of Wine, Food and Fun. The 12th annual edition takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 4, 2011, in Military Park (at the corner of West and New York streets) in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.
In the Wine & Food Experience Pavilion, there’ll be for food and wine sessions with area chefs and Hoosier winemakers. At noon, “The Dinner Rush”; 1:30 p.m., “Invite the Neighbors”; 3 p.m., ideas for Father’s Day, and 4:30 p.m., “Get our Your Grill”. Check out the winemakers and restaurants online.
Wine samples are included with the purchase of an adult ticket ($25) — and, yes, identification is required. Designated drivers pay $10, children 6-20 are $5, and those 5 and under get in free.
Proceeds from Vintage Indiana benefit the Indiana Wine Grape Council, a not-for-profit organization that furthers the development of Indiana’s wine industry from its headquarters at Purdue University. Forty-six wineries operate within the Hoosier state, whose wine industry dates back to 1802.
