We attended the 2nd Annual Suwanee Wine Fest, presented by Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, at Town Center Park in Suwanee, GA on Saturday. My Hubby and I, and our youngest daughter along with her very significant other, all met there to attend the wine fest together. An event not only for the love of wine and tasting wine, but for a good cause since part of the proceeds will benefit Annadale Village, *further explanation on that below.
With hundreds of wines to try, from several different tents, we sipped on samples of many of them but, I must admit I didn't try them all! Some good eats were also available via a few food vendors, along with a few games out on the lawn, as live music was performed on the stage by a bluegrass/country band called Pullin' Strings. There were also some t-shirts, and wine goods on sale too.
It was a beautiful sunny day, but a bit chilly with some wind gusts that made it feel even cooler at times to me! But it was all good. We discovered a few new wine favorites to look for, and look forward to. We later finished up the day by having dinner at Ippolito's Italian Restaurant which is right there at the Town Center. I'll be looking forward to attending next year's event!

*Inside the cover of the pamphlet had the following note:
"[Thank you for drinking wine today to support a good cause! A portion of Suwanee Wine Fest proceeds will benefit Annandale Village. Annandale is an award-winning nonprofit organization dedicated to providing life assistance to adults with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. Proceeds from the Suwanee Wine Fest will go towards their Fee Assistance Program, which allows them to provide a comprehensive range of programs and services to individuals with financial need. Keith Fenton, Chief Development & Marketing Officer of Annandale Village, loves calling the City of Suwanee home because, "The citizens believe in our mission and the impact we have on the lives of those with developmental disabilities. To have the number one rated skilled nursing center in the state of Georgia, right here in Suwanee, speaks volumes to the quality of life for those of us that live, work and play here."]"
