Gettysburg Wine & Music Festival

Gettysburg Wine & Music Festival is an annual harvest festival held each year on the Saturday and Sunday after Labor Day in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — drawing hundreds of wines from Pennsylvania wineries across a 2-day outdoor event at Granite Hill Camping Resort. The 2025 edition is scheduled for the weekend following Labor Day, with hours running 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, though wine sampling does not begin until noon each day.

The festival brings together wines from top Pennsylvania wineries alongside crafted spirits from local distilleries, with live music running throughout both days. Set on the grounds of Granite Hill Camping Resort at 3340 Fairfield Rd., the outdoor venue accommodates chairs, blankets, and pop-up tents in designated areas — the latter requiring a specific ticket type. Coolers no larger than 18 inches are permitted and subject to search, while outside alcohol and pets are not allowed. The event is organized by the Gettysburg Adams Chamber of Commerce and relies on hundreds of volunteers each year to operate; volunteers who complete a shift receive one free admission ticket, a wine glass, and a festival t-shirt.

For logistics, free on-site parking is available in a grass field, though attendees may need to walk through a wooded trail depending on where they park. A drop-off area is available for tents, chairs, coolers, and passengers before drivers park. Shuttle service is offered through Gettysburg Tours Center, with pickup available from the Wyndham Gettysburg at 95 Presidential Cir., as well as from the 1863 Inn of Gettysburg and the Courtyard by Marriott Gettysburg. Ticket prices and package details are listed on the official website at gettysburgwine.com.

Gettysburg sits in south-central Pennsylvania, a region with a growing wine scene that spans multiple small-production wineries. Pennsylvania's wine industry has expanded significantly over recent decades, and festivals like the Gettysburg Wine & Music Festival serve as a concentrated showcase of that output — offering attendees a side-by-side look at what the state's producers are currently bottling across a range of styles.
