New wine festival coming to Memphis next year

A new festival is coming to Memphis March 10-12, 2017. Mark your calendars now for Vintage901.

Vintage901 is a three-day wine festival complete with tastings, tapas, salsa, soul and jazz that brings the world to Memphis, Tennessee to celebrate wine, food and music. Vintage901 features the best in artisanal wines, an array of local flavors with a nod to global sensibilities, and music that blends the classic and the eclectic.

Each of the three days of this unique gathering will represent a unique wine experience.

Friday’s Grand Tasting celebration will feature an opening toast, salsa and afro-cuban music, wine and food demonstrations, food trucks, and themed giveaways.

Saturday Perfect Pairings will provide an intimate three course dinner complete with intermezzo and wine pairings, plus a local opening band and national headlining band for entertainment.

Sunday’s Sparkling Brunch will host a delectable four course brunch with wine pairings, live local jazz performances, and additional themed giveaways.

The Grand Tasting and Perfect Pairings dinner will be hosted by Vintage901’s Grand Event Sommelier: “The Wine Coach” Laurie Forster. Laurie is one of America’s leading wine experts and author of the award-winning book The Sipping Point: A Crash Course in Wine. Laurie is a Certified Sommelier, National Speaker and TV personality who is not afraid to tell you her first wine came from a box. Her edgy approach to demystifying wine caught the eye of major networks and led her to guest appearances on Dr. Oz, FOX Morning News, Martha Stewart Living Today and ABC News at Noon.

Vintage901 is currently looking to build a strong network of sponsorship partners and vendors, passionate about good wine, good food, and good music.
