How quickly a year goes by and it is time for the 8th Annual Highlandtown Wine Festival Sunday, May 1st. A celebration based around homemade wines and there is even a competition for amateur winemakers who may take home the gold, silver or bronze ribbon.
It isn’t all about wine
Guests who come to Our Lady of Pompei Convent Garden at 3600 Claremont Street will enjoy gourmet food and music along with the wine tasting. More than a thousand visitors partake in the homemade wine, eat Italian delicacies and revel in the entertainment.
Food & Wine
Admission to the festival includes five complimentary tastings of homemade wines, including vintages like the Highlandtown Red and Bel Air Zin. Highlandtown's own Laughing Pint will have beer for sale. In addition to the complimentary antipasti, DiPasquale's will have meatball subs, sausage and peppers, pasta, cannolis and their specialty arancine -- as seen on Food Network– available for sale.
Wine competition entry forms are available online at www.Highlandtown.com, as well as at
DiPasquale's (3700 Gough St.) and Mastellone Deli & Wine (7212 Harford Rd.).
