Don’t Miss the Grand Rapids Wine, Beer, & Food Festival…Let’s get this Party Started

The Grand Rapids International Wine, Food & Beer Festival is celebrating its 10 year anniversary of providing a crowd pleasing introduction to fine wines, small plate creations, and hand crafted beers.

Beginning Thursday, November 16 lasting until Saturday November 18, The DeVos Place will be home to over 1,600 different varieties of wines, ciders, and spirits. Over 18,000 people are expected to attend and try samples from a cultivated wine collection, visit the Beer City Station, walk down Cider Row and try restaurant pairings and more.
Anyone over the age of 21 is invited to join the festival. Restaurant owners, beer lovers, and new wine drinkers alike can walk away from the event with newfound discoveries. Whether you come for the food or the drink, the venue is bound to impress.

Thursday event tickets are priced at $15 per person, the Friday to Saturday weekend ticket $20, and the 3-Day Pass $40. Tickets are available now until 10 p.m on Thursday November 16. Passes and tickets can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com.
Samples at the event can be purchased with 50 cent stubs available for purchase at the festival itself – the sheer number of samples available may be difficult to encompass even with the inclusion of the three day pass.
Those looking to attend are encouraged to download the GR Wine Festival app before attending. Participants can scan the list of samples, schedule pairings, and plan your experience from your smart phone. The app is available for both I phones and Android devices.

Highlights of the festival include live music venues, the Meijer food stage, and culinary consultants. Learn more about the venue, samples, and sponsors by visiting grwinefestival.com.
