Look, I love Halloween events with my kids as much as the next guy. At the same time, I find myself wondering why there aren't more events around the Halloween season geared toward adults?

Well, adult friends, that moment has come. Vintage Escapes Winery and Vineyard is hosting a Hallo-WINE Trail in Kilkenny, Minnesota on Sunday, October 25th, 2026.

The event runs from 12-5 p.m..

The event will cost $15 in advance or $20 at the door and includes a tasting of six wine varieties, a piece of candy to pair with each wine and a Vintage Escapes tasting glass and five hours of fun.

In addition to the wine tasting, there will be live music from Steve & Steve Co., Winery Kitchen + Twisted Chicken's Food Truck, an outdoor bar and an indoor bar.

The venue recommends wearing hiking boots or good walking shoes to deal with hilly, uneven terrain.
