the Barking Spider Tavern, and The Wine Buzz is an opportunity to enjoy musicians

This year’s event is expanding with later hours, a larger tented area, more food

has scheduled performers on a wine festival stage.
All regular museum exhibits and demonstrations are open to the public during the
festival. Hale Farm & Village showcases 90 acres of historic structures, farm animals,
gardens and early American craft and trade demonstrations, including glassblowing,
blacksmithing, broom-making and weaving; guests are encouraged to bring blankets
and lawn chairs.
10am-7pm Saturday and Sunday, $10 adults, $5 youth ages 3-12; wine tastings (age
21 and over) are $10 for a glass and 5 tickets for one tasting each.
