The seventh annual springtime festival is this weekend with wine-tastings, music and food. The weather should be splendidly warm, a far cry from the rain that nearly spoiled the fall festival last October.

Seventeen wineries will pour 70 different wines for the seventh annual Willcox Wine Country Festival Saturday and Sunday.

That’s a whole lot of wine and a whole lot of people are expected to partake — as many as 3,000 by organizers’ estimates.

The festival runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday mostly in Railroad Park and along Railroad Avenue in downtown Willcox.

Area bands will perform under the ramada.

The festival and music are free. Samples are not. It’s $20 for six tasting tickets, $25 for 10.
