Admission includes entry to the festival, an Early Mountain wine tasting and a stemless wine glass as a take home treat. Guests can also order from Early Mountain’s extensive list of Virginia wines by the glass and bottle, including their newest release, a 2013 Reserve Chardonnay with 15% Petit Manseng to bring additional vibrancy to the wine, which was aged for 9 months sur lie in French oak.
