Tasting Events

Meet the Winemakers of Vermont

The inaugural 2025 Vinous Rebellious celebrated the grit, creativity, and pioneering spirit of Vermont’s wine community. Hosted by the Vermont Grape and Wine Council, this collection of gatherings invites wine lovers to meet the people behind Vermont’s bottles and experience the diversity of wines being produced across the state.

Guests have the opportunity to walk from table to table, tasting wines poured by the winemakers themselves while learning about the vineyards, grapes, and philosophies that shape each bottle. This meet-the-makers format encourages direct conversations between producers and guests, making it a uniquely personal wine experience.

In addition to wine tastings, local farm-to-table fare is available from regional food partners, creating a relaxed environment to enjoy Vermont’s agricultural bounty alongside its wines.
