The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $13 online or $15 at the gate. Children and guests under 21 are admitted free.

Food options span traditional and modern Latin cuisines, drawing large lines as families gathered for the winery’s signature summer weekend.
