Back for its 7th year, the Palmer Lake Wine Festival is a great way to enjoy spending time outdoors while sipping a glass of wine. Drawing over 1,000 guests in previous years, this event will feature 25 wineries pouring generous samples. With food and gift vendors on-site, the festival is a great way to step into the fall season.
This year’s wine gathering takes place on Saturday, September 12th, 2026, at Palmer Lake Recreation Area.
Tickets for the event are available online and come in two tiers: general admission and VIP. VIP ticket holders can enter the festival at noon and sample exclusive tastings as well as use the private restrooms and tent area. All attendees are given a souvenir tasting glass and tote bag.
