An ice wine festival is a celebration of ice wine, a type of dessert wine made from grapes that have been frozen before being harvested. The grapes are typically harvested in late fall or early winter, when the temperatures have dropped below freezing. The grapes are then pressed and the juice is fermented. The resulting wine is typically sweet, with a high acidity and a complex flavor profile.
Ice wine festivals are held in many wine-producing regions around the world, including Canada, Germany, Austria, and the United States. These festivals typically feature ice wine tastings, as well as food pairings and other activities. The festivals also provide an opportunity for winemakers to showcase their latest vintages and for visitors to learn more about ice wine and its production.
