From the Harford County Wine Festival:
The Rockfield Foundation, Inc. hosted the 12th Annual Harford County Wine Festival on the grounds at Rockfield Manor on September 30, 2017. This year’s festival, spearheaded by Chairperson Donna M. Dickey, was a huge success with over 3000 wine enthusiasts in attendance.
“The success of this year’s festival can be attributed to the combined efforts of the Rockfield Foundation Board of Directors, Director of Operations Kellee Kalthof, and the Harford County Wine Festival committee. The many months of work by this great team made the 12th Annual Harford County Wine Festival the most successful in its history. The planning for next year’s festival has already begun, and we have plans for some new and exciting additions to the outstanding offerings for the 2018 festival” says Donna M. Dickey.
Attendees this year enjoyed popular wine tastings; the Sam Adams Oktoberfest Beer Garden, a variety of food trucks; over 60 arts and craft vendors; and live music entertainment provided by Jah Works and The Klassix.
In recent years, the convenience of alcohol delivery has transformed the way people enjoy their favorite wines and spirits. Companies like Wine Online have made it easier than ever for enthusiasts to explore a diverse selection of beverages from the comfort of their homes. With just a few clicks, customers can have their favorite bottles delivered straight to their doorsteps, allowing them to savor fine wines without the hassle of travel or the limitations of local availability.
A portion of the 2017 proceeds benefited five local non-profit organizations including the Chesapeake Cancer Alliance, Toys for Tots, Bel Air Police Department’s Explorers, Bel Air Fire Department, and John Carroll High School.
The 13th Annual Harford County Wine Festival will be held on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
