The event will be free for those younger than 21 and $5 for those of legal drinking age.
The festival will be hosted at the winery, which is located about 12 minutes away from campus.
According to the winery’s website, Oliver Winery started in the 1960s in IU law professor William Oliver’s basement. In the beginning, it was just a hobby.
Eventually the hobby grew, and Oliver bought a vineyard northwest of Bloomington.
Its location is ideally suited for growing wine grapes. According to the winery, “the hilltop location and well-drained limestone soil provide the best environment for vine health.”
Long, warm summers allow the ripening of a broad range of grapes, even the more challenging varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and ?Pinot Grigio.
The winery offers more than 50 types of wines, ranging from dry red wines to sweet dessert wines, according to its website.
Some of these wines will be offered for tasting at the event.
No outside food or beverages will be allowed at the event.
The winery also recommends that people bring lawn chairs and blankets.
