Winetoberfest was created by Tara Shiffert in 2010 as a means of bringing people together for a great time in our community while helping benefit two fantastic charities.. Tara is the owner of After5 Gifts on Skippack Pike, and is the mind behind the magic for this celebrated occasion. Her store offers uniquely tasteful cocktail accessories
and home decor that is ideal for any gift. But After5 offers far more than just popular merchandise on their shelves. If you are looking for a great place to socialize in a comfortable setting, or to talk and share your passion for everything red & white, then their wine clubs are just the thing for you. It’s also a fantastic spot to host your own birthday, bridal, or martini party! Their wrap around porch is ideal on nice days and can accommodate up to 25 people. Tara also brings in wine aficionados to teach classes for the newly discovered wine lovers.
As you take a stroll through Skippack Village, you’ll discover multiple covered venues offering wide varieties of wines from numerous Pennsylvania wineries. Burgundy colored mum’s placed throughout the side streets will designate the locations of the venues that are hosting the Pennsylvania wineries along with perfectly paired food samples, live music and art exhibits.
