August 5th, 2010

Christian W. Klay Winery at the Wine & Food Festival

Seven Springs Mountain Resort proudly presents the 18th Annual Wine & Food Festival, Aug. 14 – 15, 2010!

Seven Springs’ Wine & Food Festival offers a tantalizing experience for anyone who loves exceptional wines. This year, 29 wineries from all over Pennsylvania are scheduled to attend this event. Attending wineries include Adams County Winery, Glades Pike Winery, Long Trout Winery, Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery, Presque Isle Wine Cellars and Walnut Hill Winery.

More than wine, this festival also features gourmet food, daily seminars, great live entertainment by Project Natale and No Bad JuJu and a variety of arts and crafts. Seminar topics include the essentials of wine tasting and a look at the dynamic duo of wine and cheese.

In addition, Seven Springs and the Pennsylvania Winery Association will host the Great Pennsylvania Wine Toast, Sat., Aug. 14. The toast, which will begin at 3:30 p.m., is a quest to set a Guinness World Record for the largest wine toast ever conducted. The current record was set in 2009 by 400 pubs in the United Kingdom. Their toast totaled 17,429 participants.

The festival, which typically welcomes 5,000-6,000 attendees over the course of two days, will be a part of more than 60 wineries in the state looking to defeat the British record.

Advanced tickets purchased by 12 p.m., Aug. 6, are $25 per person for Saturday and $20 per person for Sunday. After the presale, tickets are $32 for Saturday and $27 for Sunday. Festival admission includes a wine glass, attendance to the wine and food seminars, musical entertainment, crafts exhibits and program guide.
