Today is the last day for advance tickets to Vintage Illinois! 🍷

The forecast looks like one of those Illinois weekends where you may get a little bit of every season in one day. A few showers, some sunshine, a breeze—maybe all before your first tasting. 🌦️

We’ve seen worse and still had a GREAT time. Vintage Illinois is happening as planned in Utica this weekend. Come prepared for an outdoor day with a jacket, comfortable shoes, and layers. 🧥👟

We’ll have 23 Illinois w**eries, live music, food, and plenty of w**e waiting for you. 🎶🍇🍴

Advance ticket sales end tonight. Get your tickets and join us in Utica this weekend!

When it rains, we pour! 🍷🌧️🌈

Rain won’t stop the fun at Vintage Illinois! We dug into the archives and found these photos from rainy Vintage Illinois festivals past, including this amazing double rainbow from 2014.

The forecast may include a few raindrops this weekend, but the w**e will still be pouring, the music will still be playing, and we’ll be ready to celebrate Illinois w**e with you.

Come prepared for the weather! Bring your rain jacket, umbrella, and even a pop-up tent if you’d like. Then settle in and enjoy the day. You never know... there might even be a rainbow waiting. 🌈🍷

See you this weekend at Vintage Illinois!

There is still time to buy tickets online before advance sales end and gate prices go up. Your ticket is good for the full weekend, so you have flexibility to choose the day that works best for you.

🤩 4 days until Vintage Illinois W**e Fest!

🤩 5 days until Vintage Illinois W**e Fest!

A little insider tip: Sunday is usually the more laid-back day at Vintage Illinois—great for taking your time, talking with the w**eries, and enjoying a slower afternoon in the park.
And Mother Nature? She appears to be considering a little bit of everything. Sun, clouds, maybe showers… thankfully, probably not snow. 🤩

This is exactly why Vintage Illinois tickets are good for the full weekend. If Mother Nature has you rethinking your plans, you can make a last-minute call on whether Saturday or Sunday works best for you.

It is also still a great time to buy tickets online before prices go up at the gate.

Join us September 19–20 in Utica. We’ll be there! Tickets are still available online, and VIP is almost sold out.
