Is the festival rain or shine?
Yes, the Seeing Red Wine Festival is a rain-or-shine event. In the event of inclement weather, please plan accordingly and bring a light jacket or umbrella. Our team is committed to ensuring an enjoyable experience regardless of conditions.

What is the recommended attire?
Festival style is coastal casual. Lightweight fabrics, sundresses, linen shirts, and stylish hats are encouraged. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as much of the event takes place outdoors on grass and pavement. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen for daytime events.

What is the best way to get to the festival?
