Organiser and next edition

Organised by Uncorked Wine Festivals (3300 Maxella Ave. #900, Marina Del Rey, CA 90094; info@uncorkedwinefestivals.com). The 2026 Chicago edition has passed and no 2027 Chicago date has been published yet; on the organiser’s site Chicago currently sits under PAST EVENTS while Arizona, Miami, Jacksonville and Del Mar are the upcoming stops. The organiser’s site remains active (other city pages updated through September 2026) and the Field Museum is an active venue, so this is treated as a between-editions renewal rather than a cancellation.
