On Sunday, Oct. 12, more than 1,500 grape aficionados will gather to help crush cancer at the 23rd Annual Dilworthtown Inn Wine Festival.
The festival will be held on the grounds of the historic Dilworthtown Inn in Birmingham Township from noon to 4 p.m. Offerings will include more than 100 wines, craft beers, hard cider, a silent auction, shopping opportunities in the Gallery of Artisan Vendors, live music, and a Performance Car Show.
Proceeds from the wine festival benefit patients of the Cancer Program of Chester County Hospital and Neighborhood Health. The latter supplements the treatment available through the hospital’s Penn Cancer Network with home health, hospice, private duty, and Senior HealthLink services.
General admission tickets – $40 in advance, $45 at the door – include wine, beer, and cider tastings and activities. Cuisine prepared by Dilworthtown’s acclaimed chefs will be available for purchase from the Gourmet Food Tent. VIP tickets will be offered for $100 and will include food as well as admission to the VIP tent, which will feature reserved seating, fruit and cheese, special wines, and more.
To help participants enjoy the day responsibly, a $200 designated driver package includes five general admission tickets and one designated driver ticket. The designated driver ticket, which will include lunch and a non-alcoholic beverage, will allow access to the Performance Car Show, shopping gallery, and other entertainment.
Each year, the Brandywine and Greystone Women’s Auxiliaries to the hospital organize the annual Wine Festival.
