If you’re looking for something fun (and a little elevated) to do this weekend in Prince Edward Island, this is your sign.
The Festival of Wines PEI is officially happening April 17-18, 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the season.
A Full Weekend of Wine, Food & Experiences
Hosted at the Delta Prince Edward in Charlottetown, the Festival of Wines is PEI’s largest wine tasting event – and it’s not just your typical tasting.
The event features:
- Two nights of Grand Tastings (7:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
- An exclusive VIP tasting experience
- A lineup of curated Winemaker’s Dinners
- A pop-up wine boutique with exclusive bottles
Attendees will have the chance to explore 300+ wines from some of the world’s most well-known wine regions, all in one place.
This Year’s Feature Country
Each year, the festival highlights a specific wine region – and for 2026, the spotlight is on Australia.
Expect a curated selection of wines showcasing the country’s unique flavours and styles, alongside a mix of global favourites.
Local Food + Island Talent
It’s not just about the wine.
The event also brings together some of PEI’s best restaurants and food producers, offering local bites designed to pair perfectly with the tastings.
So whether you’re a casual wine drinker or someone who actually knows what “notes” to look for, there’s something here for everyone.
Shop Exclusive Wines On-Site
One of the biggest perks – you don’t even need a tasting ticket to shop.
The on-site PEI Liquor wine boutique will be open during the festival, featuring exclusive bottles you won’t typically find in stores.
Perfect if you just want to browse, discover something new, or bring home a few favourites.
