Here you’ll have 3 DAYS to enjoy Illinois WINE and local Craft Beer, FRESH LOBSTER and LIVE JAZZ on the lawn. It happens where the 2 rivers meet in charming and historic downtown Ottawa, Illinois.

Nearly 20 of Illinois’ most popular wineries will be under the big tent serving their favorite and award-winning wines. And, back again is Tangled Roots Brewing Company (a major sponsor of this year’s event) providing their spectacular craft beer! Buy your Wine Fest ticket – HERE! (this ticket gets you under the tent to enjoy wine and beer for all 3 days of the fest – along with your commemorative glass and complimentary tasting tickets. Additional tasting tickets are available for purchase at the event! Wine is available and sold by the taste, the glass, the bottle – and the case!)

And, have we got food! FRESH LOBSTER is flown in live from the coast and prepared right there on the spot by Ottawa’s Noon Rotary. It’s simply delish! Other food also available from Ottawa’s own Cheese Shop’n Deli – but PRE ORDER and buy your lobster dinner tickets HERE to make sure you get one of those big boys! Only a limited supply of extra lobster will be available at the event.

And then there’s the MUSIC! Bring a chair or blanket and grab your wine, your glass and some yum yums (that you buy at the fest!) and get set up on the lawn to enjoy some really great LIVE JAZZ music ~ starting Friday at 5!

OH – and shop for treasures at the Outdoor Market on Court Street – right next to the fest on Saturday and Sunday!
