Get ready to uncork a delightful experience at Baltimore's Wine Village Festival! Nestled in the heart of the Inner Harbor, this springtime tradition transforms West Shore Park into a haven for wine lovers, foodies, and anyone seeking a vibrant, European-inspired atmosphere.

A World of Wine in Your Glass

Your wine adventure starts with four distinct booths, each showcasing a unique corner of the wine world:

• European Wines Château: Delve into the centuries-old traditions of European winemaking with selections from Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
• New World Wines Bungalow: Journey to the sun-soaked vineyards of California, Chile, Argentina, and Australia.
• Maryland Wines Manor: Support local and savor the offerings from Maryland's flourishing wineries.
• Sparkling Soiree: Indulge in the bubbly delights of Prosecco, sparkling rosé, and even a touch of Champagne.

And for those hot May days, the crowd-favorite Eiskeller returns with its legendary wine slushies with even more refreshing flavors (including a non-alcoholic option!).

Delicious Eats & Treats

Pair your wine discoveries with a tantalizing array of culinary delights:

• Savor authentic German fare like bratwurst and pizza-style Leberkäse.
• Sink your teeth into gourmet corn dogs with unique toppings and sauces.
• Enjoy the smoky goodness of fire-roasted street corn.
• Treat yourself to ice cream, frozen yogurt, cotton candy, and other sweet delights.

Cocktails, Beer, & More Refreshments

The new Harborview Libations booth offers refreshing cocktails like mojitos, pina coladas, and a spicy mango margarita. For a delightful alcohol-free option, try the watermelon 'nojito'. Luscious Lemonade Lounge has you covered with fresh-made lemonades and a spiked Euro-style red sangria. And don't forget the authentic Hofbräu beers imported straight from Munich!

Entertainment and Atmosphere

Wine Village delivers more than just drinks and food. Unwind with live music and performances throughout the week, or catch a flick during the open-air movie nights on Thursdays. The festival's pop-up garden, twinkling lights, historic carousel, waterfront location, and the new 360-degree "Wein Wagon" bar create a magical European-inspired ambiance.
