Lincoln Park Wine Fest in Chicago

Outdoor tasting sessions in Jonquil Park

Lincoln Park Wine Fest is an outdoor, open-air wine festival in Chicago built around ticketed two-hour tasting sessions at Jonquil Park. Guests receive a souvenir glass and tasting credits, then move between booths to sample different wines within the session format rather than a seated tasting program.

Named wine styles and food vendors

The wine lineup names California Cabs, Italian Prosecco, South American Malbecs, and local Midwest pours. The booth format is described as a mini wine expo, with selections available across the grounds for tasting and discussion rather than a single guided flight.

Food vendors are part of the event, with artisanal cheeses, chocolates, and small bites available alongside the tasting sessions. The food component is presented as pairing-oriented, supporting the wine sampling rather than replacing it with a full dinner format.

Guidance, entertainment, and organizers

Sommeliers and brand ambassadors are on site to assist attendees and talk through the selections at the booths. The program also includes live entertainment, with DJ sets and live music performances included as part of the festival.

The festival is hosted and organized by Wrightwood Neighbors Association and Special Events Management. Bucket Listers serves as the ticketing partner for admission, while the event’s core format remains the ticketed tasting session with booth-based wine sampling.
