New for 2012’s festival is the debut of the organizers’ inaugural series of the Bottling Hope Collection, a unique project where Chester County artists team up with Chester County wineries to support Chester County patients living with cancer. Local artists Lele Galer, John Hannafin, Phil Jamison and Karl Keurner have each created a painting for 2012’s wine labels, with the special wine collection produced by Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery in Kennett Square. The collector’s series features two reds and two whites, and will be sold at the festival. The artists’ four original pieces of art will also be auctioned off at Sunday’s event.

The Dilworthtown Inn, and the Brandywine and Greystone branches of The Women’s Auxiliary to The Chester County Hospital jointly organize this event. It is made possible through the generosity of many sponsors. Find out who those helping hands are, get more information, and purchase tickets HERE.
