The story

Burlington Wine and Food Festival in Burlington

The Burlington Wine and Food Festival gathers wineries, distillers, chefs and specialty food producers on Burlington's Lake Champlain waterfront for a day of tastings and seminars. Founded in 2010 and now in its second decade, the festival features more than 75 exhibitors pouring wine and craft beverages alongside Vermont-made cuisine.

On Burlington's Lake Champlain waterfront, a converted industrial warehouse called Hula becomes, for one Saturday each year, a gathering point for the people who make Vermont's wine, cider, spirits and specialty foods.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is built around two ticketed tasting sessions rather than an all-day open gate, which keeps crowds manageable and lets attendees move deliberately between exhibitor tables instead of competing for space with an entire city's worth of visitors

02

The mystery stays covered

Its waterfront setting at Hula, a converted warehouse campus on Lake Champlain, gives the event a working-harbor backdrop unusual among East Coast food festivals

03

The city starts moving

Because Vermont's food and beverage economy leans heavily on small producers, the exhibitor list favors owner-operated wineries, cideries and creameries over large distributors, so attendees often meet the person who actually makes what they are tasting

04

The water draws everyone in

Educational seminars pair producers with sommeliers or chefs, giving the festival a teaching component that goes beyond simple sampling
