While Kennett Square is known for being The Mushroom Capital of the World and for being the home to Longwood Gardens, the Kennett Wintefest has made this a Winter destination for craft brew aficionados and casual festival goers alike. Amazing brewers bring the best of their creations along with non-alcoholic options, great local food trucks, and live music.

​

The event begins every year with an exclusive Definitely Connoisseur Session, affectionately known as DefCon. The winning brewery from Kennett Brewfest brings their best of their best for an exclusive meet the brewer catered lunch and tasting.
