The story
About this festival.
Richmond Caribbean Wine Food & Music Festival is a Sunday afternoon wine festival at Kanawha Plaza in downtown Richmond, Virginia, on September 20, 2026, from 12 to 6 PM, built around Caribbean culture: wine tastings, Caribbean food, an artisan marketplace and a soundtrack of reggae, soca, dancehall and Afrobeats. It is hosted by Yar Beauties, a nonprofit that stages a series of themed wine festivals in Richmond, and the organizers pitch it to wine drinkers, food lovers and families alike.
Early-bird tickets had not gone on sale at time of writing, and the pouring list is not published in advance, so treat it as a party-format festival with a wine program rather than a producer showcase. Kanawha Plaza sits between the James River and the financial district, a short walk from the Canal Walk and Brown's Island.
