The Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association (NWGGA) is thrilled to announce the launch of ticket sales for the 4th annualย TOAST Nebraska: Holiday Wine Festivalย set to take place on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center at Fonner Park in Grand Island, NE.

Now Nebraskaโ€™s largest gathering of wineries, the holiday festival has grown in size, surpassing the popular spring event held in Omaha earlier this year. With 20 participating wineries from across the state, this event offers attendees the unique opportunity to sample and purchase a diverse range of Nebraska wines all in one location.

In addition to the impressive winery lineup, the festival will feature more than 28 Nebraskan artisan and food vendors, live music, educational wine classes, and the ever-popular wine bingo. Guests can sip and savor wines while exploring local goods, learning more about Nebraskaโ€™s wine industry, and enjoying a day of festive entertainment.

The TOAST Nebraska: Holiday Wine Festival also provides the perfect opportunity to stock up on holiday wine essentials, with multiple bottles available for purchase. To make things easier, the festival offers a convenient wine check service, allowing attendees to shop worry-free and collect their purchases before leaving. Guests are welcome to enjoy their wine on-site as well, making it a perfect way to share a bottle with friends while playing wine bingo in the Quilt Room.
