Reaching for the Stars by Scott Suess 

We are excited to announce the 4th Annual Spring Art Festival at Windridge Vineyard. This popular weekend-long event runs from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening and attracts visitors from across the region to enjoy fine art, wine, and the beautiful vineyard setting.

The Montgomery Art Association show will be held in the Wine Production Room, located just below the Tasting Room, and will serve as a featured part of Windridge’s Spring Festival activities. Windridge is planning additional festival elements throughout the weekend, including an artisan market, outdoor activities, and expanded visitor experiences designed to bring increased foot traffic to the art show and create a vibrant community event.
