New for 2026: Wine Tasting Throughout the Festival

We're introducing a new way to discover and enjoy wine at this year's Festival.

The 2026 Wine Tasting will feature six tasting stations located throughout Old Mill Park, each hosted by a participating winery. Meet winery representatives, sample their wines and explore the Festival at your own pace.

Festival Friends receive the Wine Tasting Pass as part of their package. For all other Festival ticket holders, the wine tasting is available as a $15 upgrade to your Festival admission.

Your tasting pass includes samples from all six participating wineries. Upon entry, you'll receive a wine tasting wristband, compostable tasting cup and a map showing all six tasting locations.



Meet the 2026 participating wineries:

• Barra of Mendocino
• Blackbird Vineyards
• Gibbs Vineyards Napa Valley
• Honig Vineyard & Winery
• Merriam Vineyards
• Theorem Vineyards



After discovering your favorites, visit one of the Festival's nonprofit beverage booths to purchase a full pour of the featured wines. Full pours are not included with the tasting pass and will be available to all Festival attendees.

Art, Community & Giving Back

For nearly 70 years, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival has brought artists, music and community together beneath the redwoods. As a self-sustaining nonprofit event, proceeds help support the Festival and scholarships for emerging local artists.

This year, we're expanding scholarship eligibility to students from all Southern Marin high schools and increasing the number of scholarships awarded.



When you attend the Festival, you're not only enjoying a weekend of art, music, food and community—you’re helping create opportunities for the next generation of local artists.

The Festival is presented by a very small professional staff augmented by our hard-working Committee. The Committee is comprised of community members and exhibiting artists.

As a non-profit organization, the Festival is governed by its Board of Directors who have fiscal and policy responsibility for all aspects of the Festival. The Staff, Board and Committee work all year long to prepare for our annual Fall Festival.
