We have 2 locations to pick up your wristbands for WineFest 2018.
1. The main Ticket tent is at the St Michaels School which is on your right as you enter town. You will see a big sign directing you to make a right turn on Seymour Avenue where you can park and pick up your wristbands and tasting glasses. We will provide bus service from the school to the main tasting venues throughout the event.
2. The second ticketing location is behind Guilford Jewelers at the corner of Talbot Street and Cherry Street. Both locations open at 10:00 am so you can get your wristbands early.
The wine tasting venues will open at 12:00pm.
If you misplace your ticket or have any ticket issues, please contact Local Wine Events at: Info@LocalWineEvents.com and they will be able to help you.
