Brandywine Food & Wine Festival

Brandywine Food & Wine Festival is an annual food and wine festival held each year on the second Saturday in June in Chester County, Pennsylvania — now in its fourth year, the event draws visitors to the Brandywine countryside for a full day of Pennsylvania wine, food, artisan crafts, and live music. Ticket prices and the specific venue location are listed on the official festival website at pawinefestival.com.

The festival is hosted in association with Penns Woods Winery, a family-owned estate founded in 2001 by Italian immigrant and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Gino Razzi in Chadds Ford, Chester County. Penns Woods has produced Euro-styled, 100% Pennsylvania-grown wines for over 20 years across three vineyard sites — the original Chadds Ford estate, Sandy Hill (planted in 2013), and Woodward Farm (added in 2019). The festival format includes wine poured alongside food vendors, artisan craft sellers, a chef demonstration, and live music, making it a multi-element outdoor event rather than a straightforward tasting.

Visitors should expect a casual outdoor setting. The Penns Woods grounds are described as family- and dog-friendly, with lawn seating available on a first-come, first-served basis for groups of 10 or fewer. Larger groups are advised to check the festival website for specific accommodations. Because dates, ticket prices, and the precise venue address are listed as TBA in current records, prospective attendees should confirm all logistics directly at pawinefestival.com before purchasing. The festival typically takes place in June, so checking the site in spring is advisable.

Chester County sits within Pennsylvania's growing wine country, a region where producers like Penns Woods have built a reputation for sustainable farming and European-influenced winemaking. Penns Woods' portfolio spans reds, whites, rosé, and sparkling wines, all estate-grown using time-honored techniques. Winemaker Davide Creato, mentored by founder Gino Razzi beginning in 2012, oversees production across the three sites. The Brandywine Food & Wine Festival offers direct access to these wines alongside local food and craft vendors in the same Chester County landscape where they are grown.
