Utah Wine Festival

Utah Wine Festival is a food and wine festival held annually in Southern Utah, now in its seventh year, running August 29–31, 2025. The festival exclusively showcases Utah wineries from around the state alongside culinary creations from some of Utah's best chefs—a combination not available at other wine festivals. Tickets go on sale June 9, 2025, and the organizers keep event sizes intentionally small to maintain a personal atmosphere, which means individual event tickets sell quickly.

The festival's format centers on curated tasting and dining experiences rather than a single large venue. Each event is designed to deepen attendee appreciation for Utah wines and local cuisine. The organizers encourage early ticket purchase once sales begin in late June, as popular events historically fill before the festival weekend.

Utah's wine region has grown significantly in recent decades, with producers across the state—from the Wasatch Mountains to the Colorado Plateau—experimenting with cool-climate varietals and desert-adapted grapes. The festival's focus on exclusively Utah wines reflects the state's emerging wine identity and gives visitors direct access to producers they may not encounter elsewhere. Plan to arrive early in the ticket sales window and review the full event schedule on the festival website to secure spots at your preferred tastings.
