Tinley Park Brew and Vine Fest on Tap for May 2

Beer and wine lovers, this fest is for you. The Brew and Vine Fest returns Saturday, May 2, from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Tinley Park Convention Center, located at 183rd Street and Harlem Avenue.

The event is considered the only beer and wine festival in the area offered at an inside venue, and includes craft beer, wine and food tastings from over 50 different vendors along with live entertainment the entire evening.

This year, organizers offer a VIP section where a limited number of patrons can enter 1 hour early, talk one-on-one with vendors and have their very own area to get away, relax and sample special craft beers not available in the main area.

All returning patrons will also see a new layout designed to make visitors more comfortable. Tickets went on sale Feb. 2 and will be available until the event is sold out.

For those wishing to imbibe and stay off the roads that night, discounts are available with The Holiday Inn 866-460-745, Wingate by Wyndham 888-595-3511 or La Quinta Inn 708-633-1200. Mention the Brew & Vine for that discount.
