I would love to attend this wine festival with my husband! We just moved to North Carolina from Illinois and have always enjoyed wine events! Would love to attend this one for a kid free day! It is a rare occasion for us to get out without our 3 little girls! Wine and hopefully sunshine sounds like a perfect day to me!

I would love to go to the Great Grapes festival because I have been quite impressed with the festivals put on by this company at the Cary Booth Amphitheater. The music is always good and the lineup for this event looks promising! This would be a great event for my fiancée and I to attend together to take a break from wedding planning. Also, we’ll be able to scope out some local wines to serve at our wedding in July! After a long week of working two jobs helping adolescents and the elderly, attending the Great Grapes festival VIP style will be the perfect way to ‘wine down’ !

I would love to go to the Great Grapes Wine Festival, not only because I have developed a great taste for wine, but also because of the invaluable memories that I get to create with my family and friends. The festivals I have attended in the past have been some of my favorite memories and time spent with people I love. Unfortunately, this year has been quite “trying” for me and I initially planned to cut all festivals out of my plans for this spring and summer (i normally go to all of them each season). However, having the opportunity to get free tickets would enable me to at least attend one. I would love to get to go and create even more memories despite the hard time I am going through right now 🙂
