2026 WINE FAIR

You are cordially invited to an afternoon of exceptional wine, thoughtfully paired bites, and seasonal indulgence at the 5th Annual Red Lion Inn Wine Fair.

This highly anticipated annual event features two curated wine tasting sessions, showcasing distinctive selections from the Berkshires’ finest local and independent wine shops, including:

  • The Red Lion Inn

  • DARE Bottleshop & Provisions

  • Domaney's Liquors and Fine Wines

  • South Egremont Spirit Shoppe

  • Nejaime's Wine Cellars

  • Copake Wine Works

  • Queensboro Wine & Spirits

Guests will enjoy the opportunity to sample a wide range of wines alongside thoughtfully prepared hors d’oeuvres designed to perfectly complement each pour.

For those looking to elevate the experience, we invite you to “The Cellar Seminar,” an exclusive VIP tasting and discussion led by representatives from each participating shop, offering insight into standout bottles and the wines they most recommend drinking now.

Event Schedule:
The Cellar Seminar: 1:00–2:00 PM
Tasting Session One: 2:00–3:15 PM

Each tasting session will also feature a raffle, with all proceeds donated to CATA, supporting important programs that strengthen our local community.

Set within the timeless charm of The Red Lion Inn, the Wine Fair is a celebration of fine wine, gracious hospitality, and the pleasure of gathering for a meaningful cause.
