Vintage & Vine -- A Wine Festival in Historic Style
(now in its 36th year!)

NEW DATE! Thursday, September 12, 2024. Rain or shine. 
Main Event: 5-7:30 PM | VIP: 4-7:30 PM

Vintage & Vine, the fine wine and food festival is an annual fundraiser championed by the Board of Trustees. Stroll among Strawbery Banke Museum’s historic houses and gardens, while sampling wonderful wines offered by local wine brokers and wineries and enjoying delicious appetizers prepared by greater Seacoast-area top chefs and caterers. The mini wine auction adds to the excitement of the evening – and the funds raised for Strawbery Banke educational programs and preservation efforts.

New! Taste 400+ years of history. Vintage & Vine Committee incorporates a stronger connection to Strawbery Banke and its mission through curated wine selections paying homage to maritime details, builders of the Museum’s historic houses, and more at select tables throughout the event.
