Nature’s Market’s second Manchester Wine Festival pours indoors at the Community Library on Saturday, November 7. Every dollar of profit from the wine follows a ballot cast by the people drinking it.

What is inside

Twenty-five tables of wine, food and Vermont small producers, poured straight through the afternoon.

A paper bag blind tasting. Guess the bottle. Seats are booked and paid for separately, $15.

The secret speakeasy pour, included with every ticket. No booking — you have to find it.

Where the money goes

Profit from the wine goes to a local Vermont charity, and the guests choose which one. Every ticket is a ballot; the count closes when the festival does, and the figure is published afterwards.

Run entirely by volunteers. “Profit” means what is left from wine sales after the wine and the cost of serving it are paid for.
