Wine Down on False River

Immerse yourself in New Roads’ distinctive small-town charm with a weekend of Napa Valley wine tastings, carefully-curated local cuisine, art, and live music—all served lakeside.

A sparkling winemaker’s dinner will kick off the weekend on Friday from 5:30 pm–6:30 pm at private Pointe Coupée venues. The meal will feature wine pairings with select menu items. 6:30 pm–9:30 pm. $250.

Saturday’s event will take visitors to Main Street, where they can sample fine wines and crafted cocktails while exploring local boutiques, restaurants, and venues—each of which will feature artists and wineries from Napa. Make every stop on your punch card for a chance at winning the special raffle. 6 pm–9 pm. $60.

There will also be a Wine Waddle 5k and 1-Mile Fun Run on Saturday morning to support pediatric cancer research. The Fun Run begins 9 am; $15. 5k begins 9:20 am; $30. Register here.
