Belle Grove's Big Beverage Bash

Shenandoah Sips is back at Belle Grove, and it's bigger than ever — six wineries, four distilleries, a cidery, and a full lineup of non-alcoholic options, all in one very sippable location. Janet catches up with Kristen Laise (Executive Director) and Paige Ulevich (Festivals Coordinator) about how this former Wine Fest transformed into the Shenandoah Valley's favorite beverage festival. From the returning mocktail bar and new Sober Sips Pass to a chef's market full of local makers, live music from Dan James Band and Low Water Bridge Band, and access to Belle Grove's historic manor house, this episode covers everything you need to plan your day at the festival on Saturday, August 29th. Tune in for ticket details, vendor highlights, and a few insider tips on beating the weather.
