Capital Wine Festival - Albany

About this event

Empire State Wine Events brings back the Capital Wine Festival in 2025! Sample wine, spirits, and food from over 40 vendors.

Wine, Spirits, Food, Music, and Fun!

Enjoy unlimited samples of wines and spirits from across New York State's fantastic wine regions. The Capital Wine Festival will be held at the Albany Capital Center on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 1pm-9pm.

Purchase your favorite bottles for take-home and we will store them in the holding area until you are ready to leave. There will be food to purchase and eat on site as well as to sample. There will also be a few partner vendors selling personal care items or crafts.

There are two sessions plus a VIP option. Session 1 ($30) is from 1pm-4pm and session 2 ($35) is from 6pm-9pm. The VIP ticket ($40) gets you into session 2 an hour earlier, at 5pm, so you have more time and shorter lines during the first hour.

Tickets for Designated Drivers (DDs) will be sold for $10 at the door. This ticket allows the DD to participate in food sampling, paint n sip, games, DJ/photo booth, and dinner purchases. There is no limit to the number of DD tickets available.
