Toast of Ohio Wine Festival
A charming charity wine festival held each June in downtown Sandusky, Ohio, benefiting the Merry-Go-Round Museum — a nationally recognized museum of carousel art housed in a restored 1920s carousel building. Local Ohio wines flow alongside food vendors and live entertainment at the 301 Jackson Street venue, offering a relaxed lakeside-town atmosphere. The event is small by design, making it approachable for wine newcomers and a pleasant complement to a Lake Erie Islands visit.
