First Ever International Wine Festival Coming to Poughkeepsie, NY

Wine lovers getting ready for the 1st annual Queen City International Wine Festival.

Revel 32 and 1915 Wine Cellar are teaming up for the first ever Queen City International Wine Festival. Revel 32 was originally built in 1845 as a Methodist Church and later expanded in 1895. The iconic building in the City of Poughkeepsie underwent a transformation in recent years to become a one-of-a-kind event space in the area at 32 Cannon St.

1915 Wine Cellar next door at 40 Cannon St. is an upscale wine bar with a modern-industrial vibe, bringing you a wine bar experience that is second to none.
