The 15th Annual Hopewell Wine Festival

An afternoon of Virginia wine, music, and community across all three floors of the historic Beacon Theatre, benefiting student scholarships.

About the Festival

15 years of pouring for a cause

What began as one member's idea over a decade ago has grown, in its 15th year, into one of the area's favorite events. From a few hundred guests in the early years, the festival now welcomes around 1,000 attendees across all three floors of the Beacon Theatre.

Every ticket, bottle, and sponsorship helps fund scholarships for young adults from Hopewell and Prince George who have finished high school and are pursuing an associate's, bachelor's, or trade certification. Whether you're a longtime wine lover or just enjoy a relaxed afternoon out, there's a place for you here.
