By: Breann Schossow
In a state where there’s plenty of great beer and wine, it’s only to be expected that festivals featuring the beverages abound. Travel writer Gary Knowles shared a few options happening this month for those who want to grab spring by the glass:
Lake Geneva Festival of Wine
The event runs April 8-10 at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, according to Knowles’ Getaway Sampler, and will have entertainment for all types of wine lovers.
Another event celebrating wine on Knowle’s list during the month of April is WineFeast, which takes place in Oshkosh.
Stein & Dine
Knowles said this “neat” event, which is put on by The Shepherd Express Newspaper, will bring in a number of good brewers including Milwaukee’s Lakefront Brewery, Madison’s Karben4 Brewing, and more. A full list of more than 100 brewers is available on the event’s website.
Knowles noted that, among other things, the event will include beer pairings with cheese.
“You can go over there and sample all kinds of good stuff,” he said. “Well worth checking that out.”
Stein & Dine will be run from 2 to 6 p.m. on April 23 at the Wisconsin State Expo Center.
8th Annual Kohler Festival of Beer
This is a festival that the whole town goes out for, Knowles said. It also provides opportunities for beer education.
“They’ll have seminars on how to taste a beer, and how to cook with beer and how to enjoy beer,” Knowles said.
In addition to that, events during the festival range from a 5K Beer Run to a beer-themed breakfast, according to Knowles’ sampler. The festival runs from April 29 through May 1.
