Sip, Sample & Celebrate: Adirondack Wine & Food Festival Returns to Lake George

The Adirondack Wine & Food Festival is returning to Lake George for its 10th anniversary, bringing a weekend full of New York-made wine, craft beverages, artisan food, food trucks, live entertainment, and festival fun to the Charles R. Wood Festival Commons.

Taking place Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, 2026, this popular annual event invites visitors to sip, sample, shop, and savor their way through more than 120 wineries, breweries, distilleries, cideries, artisan food producers, food trucks, crafters, and more — all with the beauty of Lake George as the backdrop.

A Milestone Year for a Favorite Lake George Event

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Adirondack Wine & Food Festival has grown into one of the region’s signature summer events. Recently named the #1 annual event by LakeGeorge.com voters, the festival continues to draw thousands of attendees from across New York, the Northeast, Canada, and beyond.

According to festival information shared through I LOVE NY, the event is expected to welcome 6,000+ attendees and generate significant regional impact, including overnight stays, dining, shopping, and visitor spending throughout the Lake George area.

What to Expect

Festival admission includes a commemorative wine glass for sampling craft beverages throughout the event. As a designated New York Farmer’s Market, the festival gives guests the chance to “try before you buy” from participating craft beverage makers and artisan food vendors.

Visitors can expect:

New York wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries
Artisan food producers and specialty vendors
Food trucks and local flavors
Craft vendors and shopping
Culinary and cocktail demonstrations
Live music and entertainment
Family-friendly activities and non-alcoholic options

Throughout the weekend, attendees can also enjoy programming under the Culinary Tent, where local chefs and mixologists showcase food and drinks made with ingredients from festival vendors. The event also features Food Truck Alley, a Biergarten tent, and a Kids Activity Tent.
