New Look & New Features!
Just like Fine WINE, We are getting better with Age!
Official Announcement!!! As much as we have planned and were looking forward to celebrating our 10th year in the designated BRIDGE location with LAKE views, we have decided it is best that we do change the venue back to original location due to high wind chances. It makes a big difference when your above water, it might still be breezy uptown, but we won’t blow away like we would on the bridge. 😉 We did take this into account when all the planning began, so we did plan to have past location secured for that reason. So, we will try the bridge again next year. We feel it is best decision for our vendors and attendees. …! Join us at 412 Virginia Avenue for our 10 year celebration of the Lake Country Wine Festival in historic downtown Clarksville! Come t one of the most favorable WINE FESTIVALS in our area!
