If you've lived in Hampton Roads for any length of time, you know that spring doesn't just bring warmer weather — it brings the waterfront back to life. And one of my favorite signs that the season has truly arrived is the return of the Spring Town Point Virginia Wine Festival to Norfolk's Town Point Park.
What Is the Town Point Virginia Wine Festival?
This is an annual outdoor wine festival presented by Norfolk Festevents, held right along the Downtown Norfolk Waterfront at Town Point Park. It's part of their celebrated 2026 season of events, and year after year it draws wine lovers, locals, and visitors together for a genuinely good time. The backdrop alone — the Elizabeth River sparkling behind you, the downtown skyline in view — makes it worth the trip.
What to Expect
Attendees get to sample wines from Virginia vineyards and beyond, which is always a highlight for me. Virginia's wine scene has grown tremendously over the years, and events like this are a great way to discover new favorites without driving out to wine country. Beyond the tastings, you're surrounded by good music, good people, and that easy, relaxed energy that Town Point Park does so well. It's the kind of afternoon where two hours turns into five without you even noticing.

Why It Matters to Our Community
I've been helping families find homes in Hampton Roads for over 20 years, and I always tell people — you're not just buying a house here, you're buying into a community that knows how to live well. Events like this Wine Festival are a big part of that story, the kind of thing that fills up your weekends and makes you proud of where you planted your roots.
If you haven't made it out to Town Point Park for one of these festivals yet, make 2026 the year you change that. Grab a friend, take the ferry across, and enjoy everything that makes this area home. I'll see you out there.
