Vendor Application

*Vendor Spaces still available!*

We are currently seeking vendors for the 2026 Vermont Wine & Harvest Festival. This year’s Festival takes place on September 19th and is preceded by the Wine Stroll & Soup Contest in Wilmington on Friday, September 18th.  The Festival was created to be a destination event and is promoted and packaged to late summer and fall travelers, day trippers, and Vermonters. Deerfield Valley is a major tourist destination in the summer and fall.

The Wine & Harvest Festival celebrates the products, food, art, distilleries, and wineries of Vermont from 11am to 5pm under gorgeous tents at the Mount Snow Resort in West Dover. Last year we had over 2,300 guests. This is another fantastic opportunity for artisans from across Vermont to come together to showcase their crafts. In 2024, there were over 75 Vermont vendors made up of 21 Vermont wineries and distilleries including award-winning Shelburne Vineyards, North Branch Vineyards, Caledonia Spirits & as well as cooks, crafters, musicians and artists.

As in past years, we will restrict the number of vendors selling similar products to just four with preference given to past vendors.  *There are still vendor spaces available!* 

We hope you will consider participating in this great Festival. Please feel free to contact us at any time to further discuss being a vendor and thank you in advance for your consideration.
