WHEELING, W.Va. (WTRF) — The second annual Wheeling Wine Fest is planned for Saturday, July 31 from 5 PM until 11 PM at the Wheeling Heritage Port. Last summer, the festival was called off due to the pandemic with the first annual event being held in 2019.
Wheeling Wine Fest Chairperson, Dalton Haas, says he is planning to make this year’s event better than ever while creating a fun and safe festival for all of the people of the Ohio Valley. Haas says there will be a full schedule of events throughout the evening.
