Kennett Summerfest is back June 9, bigger and better than ever.<\/p><\/div>\n

The beginning of June in Kennett Square is a time to celebrate Summer, relax, and revel in the abundance that the heart of the Brandywine Valley has to offer. Kennett Summerfest Wine + Food Festival on June 9th provides the quintessential opportunity to indulge in a fusion of the finest local wines, culinary delights, floral displays, and live music, creating a \u201cfull sensory experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in its third year, Kennett Summerfest returns with even more robust offerings for a heightened festival experience. Extended food offerings will showcase food and wine pairings and highlight the culinary expertise found in Kennett Square. One of these culinary experts is also one of the most recognized personalities in the Philadelphia area dining scene: Aimee Olexy, the owner of Talula\u2019s Table, Talula\u2019s Garden, and The Love. “Our mission at Talula’s Table is to build community through food. And I have certainly seen that happen in the 17 years that we have been open!” Olexy shares. “Summerfest brings together all the magnificent wineries in our region with the passionate food businesses and food lovers of Kennett Square.” Local chefs and winemakers will plan pitch-perfect pairings for attendees to enjoy together\u2014ideally experienced through the VIP Experience ticket option, which includes complimentary small plates and an exclusive reception hour. Tickets are limited for this opportunity, perfect for couples, groups, foodies, and wine connoisseurs. Award-winning food partners along with Talula\u2019s Table include Sweet Amelia\u2019s, Country Butcher, and additional local food artisans.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummerfest is the most perfectly curated event where you get the added bonus of learning from and meeting the winemakers, restaurateurs, farmers, and other artisans!\u201d – Aimee Olexy, Talula\u2019s Table<\/p>\n

Twelve Brandywine Valley winemakers will be sharing not only their best wines but also their extensive knowledge and expertise. Connect with local makers to explore new favorites and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of local winemaking. \u201cLocal wine fits squarely within the Brandywine Valley\u2019s flourishing agrotourism scene,\u201d says Corey Krejcik, Brandywine Valley Wine Trail President and Vice President & General Manager of Chadds Ford Winery. At Summerfest, visitors and locals can gather in one location to \u201ctaste how the local terroir impacts the grape varietals they are already familiar with, and to try new wines made from lesser-known grapes native to PA.\u201d Participating wineries include all the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail members, such as Chadds Ford Winery, R Five Wines, Casa Carmen Wines, and Wayvine Winery & Vineyard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope attendees really lean into the full sensory experience at Summerfest! From the intoxicating aromas of freshly cooked food and the perfumed scent of fresh flowers to the uplifting beat of live entertainment and the refreshing taste of a cool, crisp wine, this event engages all the senses to celebrate the very best of the Brandywine Valley.\u201d – Corey Krejscik, Brandywine Valley Wine Trail & Chaddsford Winery.<\/p>\n

Beautiful and engaging floral displays have been a part of Summerfest since its inception, and this year\u2019s ode to local flowers promises to be an elevated experience with the addition of Styer\u2019s Peonies. Providing flower lovers with fresh-cut beauty for over 100 years, Styer\u2019s Peonies is well-known for the quality of their stems and their Peony Festival every May. Summerfest provides another opportunity to experience their peonies the weekend after the Peony Festival closes. Bouquets will be available for purchase along with other homewares. Styers Peonies will also provide blooms for the Summerfest floral display.<\/p>\n

In yet another brilliant pairing, Chaddsford Winery will bring their latest Dry Ros\u00e9, a collaborative blend with Styer\u2019s Peonies, just released in May. \u201cProduced in the saign\u00e9e style,\u201d Krejcik from Chaddsford Winery describes, \u201cthis vintage is made with the slight skin-contact juice of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, and Steuben grapes. It\u2019s bursting with fragrant strawberry and has a crisp, grapefruit pith finish. It is a must-try!\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s floral display will feature the iconic teal vintage truck from Summerfest sponsor COCOON Home Remodeling. Attendees eagerly anticipate the creative and Instagram-worthy display dreamed up in collaboration with Zena Florist\u2019s owner, Maria Navarrete-Olvera. To enhance the floral experience, Brandywine Blooms, one of the many additional artisan vendors, will offer wearable floral options for purchase.<\/p>\n

Topping off the Summerfest experience will be the musical stylings of Tuk + The Big Brass Ones. The band’s unique sound blends traditional New Orleans-style jazz with contemporary rock and pop influences, creating a unique, toe-tapping sound. \u201cKennett Square is a very artistically minded place for visual and performing arts,\u201d shares Bryan Tuk, performer and founder of grooveKSQ. Tuk continues that Summerfest celebrates Kennett\u2019s love of the arts in a \u201cfusion of wine, food, flowers, and live music\u2014a great experience that reaches you through many different senses all at once.\u201d This year\u2019s musical performance will be fresh and invigorated, including performers the Summerfest audience has never seen before. \u201cI certainly have more than one surprise up my sleeve,\u201d Tuk cheekily concludes. \u201cYou\u2019ll have to attend the event to find out!\u201d<\/p>\n
