VIP Area

Sponsored by The Lodge at Geneva on the Lake

Join Ohio’s gold medal-winning winemakers in an exclusive area at the 30th Vintage Ohio, August 1-2, 2025, at the Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland.  This “festival within a festival,” from 2 to 6 each day, will showcase some of the best wines produced in Ohio.  Each wine is gold, double gold, best of category, or best of show in some of the country’s most respected wine competitions.  You will be delighted and impressed [perhaps even surprised] with the quality of grapes grown and wine produced by our community of Ohio vintners.

Along with the wines being poured, you will enjoy some olive oil and bread dipping, a selection of gourmet nuts supplied by King Nut Company, gold medal cheeses provided by the American Dairy Association Mideast, bread & dipping olive oil from Orlando Bakery & Giant Eagle Grocery Store, local candies, and other light snacks.

  • Cask 307, Madison

  • D & D Meadery, Mentor

  • Debonné Vineyards, Madison

  • Grand River Cellars and Restaurant, Madison

  • Hocking Hills Winery, Logan
