University City Wine Fest, the only outdoor spring festival of its kind in the region, is returning to Shoppes at University Place for a second year.
Last year’s event drew more than 1,000 wine enthusiasts.
Attendees will experience more than 100 old and new wines from more than 25 wineries. They will stroll the boardwalk and enjoy appetizers from area restaurants and experience live entertainment.
New this year: a beer garden.
Proceeds from WineFest will benefit literacy programming for Charlotte Mecklenburg University City and Sugarcreek Libraries.
