March 4, 2005 -- The Hudson Valley Wine Festival, www.hudsonvalleywinefest.com, presented annually by WineRacks.com www.wineracks.com, announces the event dates of September 9th, 10th and 11th at Greig Farm in Red Hook, NY. The event, in its fourth season,
promises to continue the tradition of being a Premier Celebration of Food, Wine and Entertainment. There will be Fine Food and plenty of Wine Tasting from some of the region's finest
wineries and vendors. In addition, there will be many family activities, such as hayrides, berry picking and musical entertainment. This is a rain or shine event, under the protection of
huge festival tents.
According to Michael Babcock, WineRacks.com President, "the event is already gearing up to be even bigger than last year's festival, with an expanded Festival site in the beautiful autumn
setting of Southern New York State. The expanded site will allow for more wineries, vendors and patrons to attend this already spectacular event. Once again, we will kick off the Festival
with a Friday Evening Grand Reserve Tasting. Last year's Tasting was a limited seating, fine food and wine showcase, including select vintages of many wineries and gourmet food from
several of the area's leading chefs and finest restaurants. The remainder of the weekend will be filled with Wine tasting, Entertainment and Wine and Cooking Exhibitions".
The Hudson Valley Wine Festival provides a tremendous opportunity for wineries and vendors to showcase their wares to an audience of thousands from the Tri-State area and beyond. Due to
the continued growth and success of this event, the advertising campaign will broaden from Local and Regional marketing to include National Media sources. Wineries and Vendors are
encouraged to apply as soon as possible as space is filling up fast. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing autumn events in New York State.
Set in America's oldest wine region, the Hudson Valley Wine Festival is the area's premier Food and Wine Event. The Festival annually offers wineries, fine dining establishments, and
superior vendors a first-class opportunity to showcase their products to an affluent Suburban-Metro New York Marketplace.
