The Town of Stuart will hold the 9th annual Beer & Wine Festival on Saturday, April 6, at the Star Theatre in Downtown Stuart from 12-4 p.m.
Town Manager Bryce Simmons said four wineries will participate, including Stanburn Winery, Childress Vineyard, Wood’s Acre Fruit Wines, and Villa Appalachia.
Fairy Hair by Amanda, Buckin’ Good Eats & Lemonade, LLC, Henry’s Fresh Roast, and the Patrick County Alzheimer’s Group, LLC will be onsite vendors.
Live music will also be played during the event. Merry-Go-Rounders will perform from 12-1:45 p.m. and then Marcie Horne will take the stage from 2-4 p.m.
During last year’s festival, Simmons said the town decided to hold the event at the Star due to a weather-related advisory.
“It just seems that every year right around the Beer & Wine Festival, there’s either it’s cold, or it calls for potentially bad weather. So, we made the executive decision this year to just go ahead and hold it at the Star, so we don’t have to worry about the weather,” he said.
Tickets for the wine tasting will be available at the door for $10.
“It’s free admission, but it’s a $10 wine tasting, which includes a wine glass,” he said, adding the ticket allows a sample of wine from every winery present.
