Syracuse Wine Festival

April 19, 2025 at the OnCenter. 800 South State St. Syracuse, NY 13202.

Syracuse Wine Festival

There are two sessions plus a VIP option. Session 1 ($30) is from 1pm-4pm and session 2 ($35) is from 6pm-9pm. The VIP ticket ($40) gets you into session 2 an hour earlier, at 5pm, so you have more time and shorter lines during the first hour.

CHECK BACK IN EARLY 2025 TO BUY TIX HERE

Tickets for Designated Drivers (DDs) will be sold for $10 at the door. This ticket allows the DD to participate in food sampling, paint n sip, games, DJ/photo booth, and dinner purchases. There is no limit to the number of DD tickets available.

Here Is What We Had in 2024!

Check back soon to see what is in store for 2025. Meanwhile, see what we did last year and expect more of the same.

Included with your ticket is unlimited sampling of the wines, spirits, and specialty food offered by participating vendors. There will be full meals and beverages for sale (not included with the ticket price) by THREE participating food trucks. There will be a DJ, free photo booth, free Paint-N-Sip attraction by a professional instructor, Chair Massage for an extra half-off fee, board games, and a few vendors selling their beautiful items.

Wine Sampling

We work hard to attract as many NY wineries to our shows as we can. Check the above Exhibitor Listing to see who we can thank for their participation at this show. 

Spirits Sampling

We are also grateful for the participation of distilleries of excellence in NY. It is a great privilege to learn about their farms and stories and to purchase their spirits.

Specialty Food Sampling

We aim to bring you the best quality specialty food producers who are willing to sample their products throughout each session. You will definitely want to purchase your favorites to take home.

Paint ‘N Sip

This year we will have an instructor leading the Pain ‘N Sip section! Scroll down for details!

Three GREAT Food Trucks

We will have three great food trucks for you to purchase a meal. They will be outside but you can order indoors and enjoy your meal at the tables with your friends. Scroll down for details!

DJ and Photo Booth

We will have a DJ and free photo booth so you can dance and dress up for fun photos with your friends. Scroll down for more details!

Chair Massage

This year we will be offering chair massage by Hand in Health. There will be an extra fee but at HALF off their usual. Scroll down for details!

Board Games

Not everyone is an extrovert, and some prefer a more laid back evening. So this year we will put out a sampling of board games for you to enjoy playing as you sip. Let us know which ones you like and we will take note of the favorites for next time. 

Wine/Spirits Holding Area

When you purchase your favorite bottles of wine or spirits after sampling them, we will keep them for you in the holding area. You just need to save your tickets from your purchase and pick them up on your way out.
