This Saturday, February 25th, the annual Stanly County Winter Wine Festival will be held at Market Station in Albemarle, NC. This being our second time at the festival, I have to say it is a great one to mark on your calendars. Tickets can be purchased online in advance for 20.00 a piece or at the door for 25.00. (Note: you must be 21 to enter)
This year there will be 12 vineyards/wineries present and all of them are doing wine tastings, so this is a great opportunity to try several different wines under one roof! In addition to the wine, you’ll find area restaurants, local businesses and entertainment!
The festival hours are from 12-6pm and with Market Station being right in downtown Albemarle, you have a quick walk to several area restaurants for lunch or dinner. We would highly recommend that you walk just up the street to Z Pi for pizza, pasta or a panini. They also have local wines, craft beer and a band will be playing Saturday evening. Oh and don’t forget to stop by Albemarle Sweet Shop between 8 and 2 for a famous clown cookie (Note: bring cash)!

Thinking you may need a hotel for the night? No problem! There is a Holiday Inn and a Sleep Inn right in Albemarle but if you are looking for something especially nice, try the Badin Inn just down the road. The Badin Inn has 6 historically decorated rooms, a golf course and a full service restaurant. Also, their bar is hosting karaoke starting at 7pm to continue the fun after the festival is over!
