Your Eventbrite ticket purchase will include all applicable taxes and processing fees (6% Vermont Sales Tax, 2% City of Burlington Gross Receipts Tax, 1% City of Burlington Local Option Tax,  $2.00 Environmental/Compliance, Eventbrite processing fee).

 

Who can come?  This is a 21+ event. ID will be required to enter the event. No one under 21 will be admitted (including children). The only exceptions to this rule are for children young enough to be kept "on your person" (i.e., in a backpack, sling or other type of carrier).  No infants in strollers or pets will be allowed..

 

What about bad weather?  The event takes place indoors at HULA and outdoors under a tent, and will be held rain or shine.  No ticket refunds or exchanges will be made in the event of inclement weather or weather emergencies.

​​

Why can't I purchase bottles of wine at the event?

We know it’s tempting to take home a favorite bottle right away, but unfortunately, Vermont state liquor laws don’t allow wine sales at the event.  Wine may only be sold through licensed retail establishments, so we are not permitted to sell bottles for immediate takeaway.

 

But not to worry—we’ve made it easy to order what you love!
 

You’ll find an order form in your event program, and our four on-site retail partners are ready to help. Simply place your order with them during the event, and your wine will be available for pickup at their store later in the week.

​

Prefer to shop closer to home? We also provide a list of retail partners throughout the region who are happy to place orders for any wines featured at the event.  If you are traveling from outside of Chittenden County and would like some guidance on retailers in your area who can help with your order, please email us at info@burlingtonwineandfood.com.

 

We appreciate your understanding and hope this makes it simple to enjoy the wines you discover with us.
