SOUTHERN TIER EMPIRE WINE FESTIVAL AND BREWFEST

There is going to be a double-whammy of an event at the Broome County Fairgrounds this month: a wine festival and a brewfest! Clearly, this is the month for drinking outdoors. But, to be very clear: these are two simultaneous events, not one beer/wine-fest. Because they are at the same spot at the same time, you and your friends may purchase tickets to the celebration of whichever fermented beverage floats your boat - you can enjoy wine while your best bud enjoys a beer, or vice-versa - you get the idea. And if it’s beer and wine you want, then buy both tickets and go nuts (in moderation)! There will also be plenty of games and, of course, food.

The Southern Tier Empire Wine Festival and Brewfest takes place on Saturday, June 17th at 1pm at the Broome County Fairgrounds in Whitney Point. Tickets range from $5 (for designated drivers) to $25. Visit stempirewinefest.com for more details.
