Last year’s festival brought award-winning Ferraris and wineries from around the world and close to 6,000 attendees.

Situated on the pristine park grounds of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in historic Saratoga Springs, New York, for the past nine years the Saratoga Wine & Food and Fall Ferrari Festival has been one of the most highly attended events of its kind drawing people from the northeast corridor and beyond and has long been considered one of the best festivals of its kind.

Aside from the weekends festivities and events what is wonderful about this festival is that all proceeds raised help fund innovative education programs and learning experiences for the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Auto Museum.

For those who have long desired to take center stage, the Friday night gala will be on the main stage of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center where noted performers from around the world perform throughout the summer season. Saturday combines the Grand Tasting and Ferrari Auto Show along with a live auction complimented by champagne and desserts. Newly added this year are Saturday evenings After Party hosted by SPAC’s Junior Committee, which will feature hip lounge sounds along savory food and spirits. An elegant jazz brunch at the celebrated Saratoga National Golf Club will round out the festivities on Sunday and will be a well-orchestrated celebration with refined mid-day dining accompanied by the easy sounds of jazz.

Tickets for the Festival can be purchased for each individual event or as a total festival package spanning the weekend. Advance tickets are recommended and are now available. The Saratoga Wine & Food and Fall Ferrari Festival is a celebration for the senses.
