The story
About this festival.
The Annual Winnipesaukee Wine Festival is a grand tasting wine festival held annually in New Hampshire — organized under the Common Man family of restaurants, a hospitality group that has operated in the state since 1971. Specific dates, venue, and ticket prices have not yet been announced for the upcoming edition. Because confirmed details remain limited, this overview reflects what is currently available from official sources.
The Annual Winnipesaukee Wine Festival takes its name from Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in New Hampshire, which anchors the Lakes Region where the Common Man has operated multiple dining and lodging venues for decades. The Common Man family currently runs 17 restaurants, 4 inns, and several event spaces across New Hampshire — properties that have hosted community events and seasonal gatherings throughout the region. That hospitality infrastructure suggests the festival draws on established local venues, though the specific site for this edition has not been confirmed.
Ticket pricing and tier details — including General Admission, VIP, and Designated Driver options — have not been released at the time of publication. Prospective attendees should monitor the official website at thecman.com for announcements on dates, location, and ticket availability. Signing up for notifications through that site is the most direct way to receive updates as the festival approaches.
New Hampshire's Lakes Region, centered around Meredith and the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, is not a major wine-producing AVA, so festivals in this area typically feature wines sourced from regions across the country and internationally rather than a single local appellation. For visitors planning travel around the festival, the Common Man's network of inns in Plymouth and Claremont, as well as lakeside dining at venues like Lago and Town Docks in Meredith, provides lodging and dining options within the same hospitality family. Check thecman.com directly for confirmed program details before purchasing tickets.
