Wine Glasses toasting at Huntsville Crush Wine and Food Festival

Huntsville's eighth annual Crush Wine & Food Festival will be held September 4th in downtown Huntsville's Big Spring Park East. Tickets have sold out in previous years, so if you want a chance to try 150 wines, get your tickets now and use code iHeartHsv to save $10 off your ticket. This year’s theme “Take Flight” is a nod to how festival attendees will get to learn more about the wines and the cultures they come from as they fly around the park to different regions.
