| - This was my 2nd time attending the Great Grapes Festival, and so I knew what to expect and we came prepared. We had a blanket, chairs, meats, cheeses, crackers, and a big sandwich. The only thing I forgot was water, and most of the concessions sold out of it so that was a bit annoying.
I completely agree w/Tiffany's assessment, the wines are majorly sweet and no offense NC wine lovers, but kinda crappy. Luckily our friend brought in 2 bottles of good Italian wine so for us we had a nice picnic w/beautiful weather, live music, good food and good wine!
We still tried a lot of the wines, it was only right since we paid $25 to get in, and my sister ended up buying a bottle from one of the vineyards that we drank that day after we finished the good stuff!
Overall if its a beautiful day, as it has been the past 2 years, then it can be an enjoyable experience if you come prepared and know what to expect!
