This post documents my experience on September 21, 2025.
The Vermilion Valley Vineyard Fall Festival took place on business’s picturesque property…
…featuring a shopping area of 30+ vendors…
…a touch-a-tractor event…
…and a sitting area by the water where visitors were encouraged to relax with their blankets and chairs…
…while enjoying live music played from the nearby patio…
…and potentially relaxing with a glass of wine or beer easily purchased from an outside table…
…or from inside the the main building…
…where tastings were offered.
Most guests took their wine glasses with them to the vendor market…
…choosing among a variety of clothing…
…beautiful plants and flowers…
…harvested and carved pumpkins…
…holiday decor…
…handmade ceramics…
…locally made candles and greeting cards…
…all sorts of henna tattoos…
…and the chance to peek into their future.
And for those who got hungry (or drank too much), food vendors offered BBQ, sandwiches…
…hot dogs, wraps and more…
…as well as dessert options that included ice cream and mini donuts…
…with some decadent selections that could be found among the vendors as well.
