Named one of the “Top 10 Can’t Miss Fall Wine Festivals” in the U.S. by Fodor’s, and one of the Top Fall Wine Festivals by Thrillist, this event is a must for all wine enthusiasts.

Enjoy VIP access throughout the weekend as well as privately-curated activities available only to MileagePlus Premier members.

You'll have the chance to savor 20 food and wine pairings and more than 40 gold medal wines (scored 91 or higher) as each chef competes for the coveted People’s Choice Award. The following day, experience the region’s largest wine tasting at the Grand Tasting of International Wines and enjoy pourings from more than eighty wineries and distilleries. Your day also includes a Premier-only winemaker session led by renowned winemaker, Elena Polizini from Tenuta Sette Cieli in Bolgheri, Italy.
