New Hampshire Wine Week is a big to-do across the whole state. While we normally only focus on what’s happening in Concord, for something as big as this, we figured we’d give you the full schedule of events in case you decide to venture outside the city. Most wine tastings will take place at New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets – for instance, a location of “West Lebanon Store” refers to a liquor and wine outlet in West Lebanon (addresses are included). Below is a roundup of all non-Concord events related to New Hampshire Wine Week. Don’t forget – the crown jewel of the whole thing is the Winter Wine Spectacular, details of which are at the end of this roundup.
For more details and to purchase tickets to any of the ticketed events, go to nhwineweek.com.
