WOMEN'S SYMPOSIUM
BEYOND THE CAST
The Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine festival is all about fun and sharing our knowledge about the quiet sport of fly fishing. If you don't know where to begin your fly-fishing journey, or you want to take your experience to the next level with like-minded women, please join us.
EXHIBITORS
Our festival is custom made to fit the unique needs of a select group of vendors. We are not a "one size fits all" sort of an operation. We seek to associate ourselves with only the best fly shops, manufacturers, custom rod builders, artist, guides, lodge owners, non-profits, and specialty vendors. We turn down dozens of vendor's inquires each year, because they simply aren't a good fit. While we don't take applications from home improvement companies, we are open to vendors with fresh ideas and novel approaches which may not be seen at other fly-fishing related events. We tend to sell out rather early, so don't wait until the last minute to apply.
CLASSES
Bring your family, relax, take a casting class, and pick up a new sport that the entire family can enjoy. Several new classes for beginners for both adults and children have been added. We’ve also added a bourbon tasting class for adults.

We don't just attract fly anglers, we create them!
The Virginia Fly Fishing Festival is the largest event of its kind in the country and attracts fly anglers from across the United States and the Mid-Atlantic in particular. Nowhere else can anglers learn about the quiet sport in such a beginner-friendly environment. Our unique event combines fine wine tasting, microbrewery beer, and everything you ever wanted to know about fly fishing but were afraid to ask.
The mission of the Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival is to introduce as many people to the sport of fly fishing as possible, and to raise the level of awareness to the many pressing conservation issues facing Virginia. We do this believing that people, who are connected to the outdoors in their recreational activities, are more inclined to protect the natural resources they enjoy.
Bring your family, relax, take a casting class, and pick up a new sport that the entire family can enjoy. Several new classes for beginners for both adults and children have been added. We’ve also added a bourbon tasting class for adults.
The 26th Annual Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival will be held at The Meadow Events Park, just a few miles outside of Richmond, Virginia, on Friday January 8th and Saturday 9th, 2027.
The festival — the largest event of its kind in the country, drawing fly anglers from as far away as New York and Georgia — appeals to anglers of all ages and stages.
Festival attendees listen to lectures from various experts and practice hands-on skills at the two-day, family-friendly event. Several wineries from throughout the Old Dominion provide free wine tastings for those 21 and older.
The festival will be held regardless of the weather. All vendors are under roof and contained within the Farm Bureau Building at Meadow Event Park located approximately 2 miles east of Kings Dominion.
