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.
Paint ‘N Sip with Diana Myers
Many thanks to Diana Myers (aka the Artzy Nana!) for offering a FREE guided experience AGAIN this year in the Paint ‘N Sip section. There is no pre-registration, and there may be a short wait to get a seat. Plan for about a 20 minute lesson where there will be about 15 people seated per class.
PLUS ENTER TO WIN!!
We are taking submissions this year via Facebook Post (on the Event Page Discussion Tab of the Syracuse Wine Festival Facebook page) for a drawing to be used as the SUBJECT in the Paint ‘n Sip activity. The theme will be to combine the GREAT NORTH AMERICAN TOTAL SOLAR EXCLIPSE (which takes place the Monday after the show) with the theme of WINE. Scroll down for more details! 
About The Submission
Your submission may include the colors White, Red, and Black, as well as any colors that can result from mixing these, such as various tones of Pink and Gray. You can add text or other subject matter (must be appropriate or will not be considered). You can hand draw and snap a photo for a post. OR, you can use a free tool like Canva, which is what we used to create the above example, and then download and post it.
If you choose to make a submission, post it on the Event Page Discussion tab below by March 15, 2024 so we have plenty of time for people to vote by likes and comments. We will tally the results by April 1 and announce the winner, who will receive 2 free tickets to the April 6 festival to the session of their choice. If you had already ordered tickets (just to be sure in case we are sold out!), then we will refund your tickets including the Eventbrite fees.
Just a reminder that Facebook is in no way responsible for this contest! Only one submission per person please. The team from the Syracuse Wine Festival, in collaboration with Diana Myers, will tally the likes and comments to determine the winner.
NOTE: If you go to the Event and do not see the ‘Add a Post’ box, you may need to toggle from the ‘About’ view to the ‘Discussion’ view.
Diana Myers Bio
Diana Myers has been painting for more than 3 decades. After years of teaching with ‘Painting with a Twist’, she started her own mobile ‘Paint And Sip’ business titled ‘Art by Diana Myers.’ A very busy Nana, she also leads online classes at the Artzy Rose, which is on Facebook and most social networks. We are thrilled to have her teach a simple wine class on multi media paper using her step-by-step technique!
