The story
About this festival.
Neptune's Spring Wine Festival is the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival's oceanfront wine tasting at 31st Street Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia, held each May; the 21st annual edition was Saturday, May 16, 2026. The park becomes a ring of tasting stations pouring more than 70 wines from eight countries, with zero-proof wines and seltzers for non-drinkers, food trucks and live music. It is 21 and over, rain or shine.
Tickets are tiered by date, $40 to $50 in 2026, and include a commemorative glass and tastings throughout the event; reserved tables for eight were $450 with a bottle of wine and water on ice. Buying a ticket also earned a $5 code for Neptune's Coastal Craft Beer Festival and its Fall Wine Festival. Chairs, blankets and outside food are allowed; wagons, pets and large umbrellas are not.
