VIP Area

Join Ohio’s gold medal-winning winemakers in an exclusive area at the 30th Vintage Ohio, August 7-8, 2026, 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.

The VIP area features one wine each from the following wineries.  These gold and double gold winners retail for $20-$40 each and often are in limited supply so the wineries are unable to pour them on Festival Field.  The VIP ticket also includes complementary snacks, a private area overlooking the park and live music.
