When the crisp edge of September starts flirting with the golden warmth of late summer, there’s only one place you should be: swirling a glass of something spectacular at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival, happening September 6-7, 2025 at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY. This isn’t just a festival—it’s a full-blown flavor pilgrimage.
For two unforgettable days, the fairgrounds transform into a buzzing mecca of culinary creativity and craft beverage brilliance. Picture this: more than 100 wineries, cideries, distilleries, and food artisans pouring, plating, and prepping their absolute best for you to taste, discover, and fall in love with.
The Wine Scene? Ridiculously Good.From rich, peppery reds to light, citrusy whites and everything blush in between, the wine tents are a sommelier’s dream—and a casual sipper’s paradise. Sample bold pours from across New York State and beyond, chat with the vintners, and maybe even find your new go-to bottle to stock up on before it sells out.
The Food? Next-Level.This is the kind of festival where you follow your nose and always end up at the right truck. Truffle mac and cheese? Yep. Fire-roasted oysters? Oh yes. Gourmet grilled cheese, Korean BBQ skewers, hot honey fried chicken, vegan tacos, cannoli, crepes, and gelato? Obviously. You’ll need stretchy pants, and you’ll still leave full.
The Vibe? Absolutely Delicious.Whether you’re wandering with your foodie crew, wine-tasting with your partner, or turning it into a solo self-care feast, the energy is everything. Expect live music, chef demos, artisan markets, and curated experiences that give this fest a luxurious-but-welcoming feel. It’s bougie, but never snobby. Elevated, but down to earth. A toast to the best parts of the Hudson Valley—and life.
