The Hampton Wine & Spirit Expo made its triumphant return to the Hampton Roads Convention Center for its second consecutive year—and let’s just say, it continues to prove itself as a must-attend event on Coastal Virginia’s social calendar.
First launched on April 6, 2024, the Expo is the inspired creation of visionary Lance of the Future Outlook Group. His goal? To bring something fresh, vibrant, and unforgettable to the Hampton area—and he and his team did exactly that. Now in its second year, the Expo brought together an eclectic mix of wine enthusiasts, small businesses, fashion influencers, media personalities, and members of the local community. It was more than just an event—it was a lively fusion of culture, flavor, music, and style.

Attendees were welcomed with signature tasting glasses that unlocked an array of wines from across the region. From bold reds to crisp whites, there was something for every palate. Complementing the sips were delicious bites and decadent desserts provided by local eateries and bakeries—each offering a little something to pair perfectly with every pour.
Of course, wine tasting is all about the experience—and this one brought the vibe. Guests danced the afternoon away to the sounds of a soulful live band, shopped from a curated selection of local brands, and even participated in exclusive style interviews with media correspondent Patricia Alwayz A Lady. These mini fashion moments sparked lively conversations about the intersection of wine and wardrobe—and proved that style is absolutely part of the wine expo experience.

Because let’s face it: when you're attending a wine event, you're not just there to sip—you want to be seen. From chic casual to runway-ready, everyone came dressed to impress, turning the Expo into a stylish showcase all its own. Adding a meaningful touch to the festivities, Lance and the Future Outlook Group awarded funding to local Non-Profits to help fund their mission (M.I.K.E Men Aspiring Kids Everyday & Ketchmore Kids). It was a powerful reminder that giving back to your community is always in good taste. Whether you’re a seasoned sommelier or a curious beginner, the Hampton Wine & Spirit Expo offered an incredible opportunity to explore new flavors, connect with local entrepreneurs, and celebrate community in a beautifully curated setting. If you missed it this year, don’t worry—the best is yet to come.
Stay tuned to see what the Hampton Wine & Spirit Expo team has in store next!
