Limited to 400 Guests · August 8, 2026 · 2–6pm · Courthouse Square Plaza

This isn't just a festival ticket. It's a front-row seat to the best of Hunterdon County — the farms, the breweries, the distilleries, the wineries, and the people behind all of it. Designed for guests who want to slow down, sip well, and experience CTB Fest at its fullest.

Your VIP Ticket Includes:

Craft Beer Flight
Choose four beers from our VIP-exclusive lineup of Hunterdon County Beer Trail breweries — poured fresh and served in your very own take-home souvenir flight cups. A keepsake as good as the beer inside them.

Tomato Tasting Experience
Co-hosted by the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) and the Hunterdon 579 Trail, this immersive tasting celebrates the very best of New Jersey's summer harvest — heirloom varieties, local farms, and the stories behind the season's finest tomatoes. There is truly no better place to taste a Jersey tomato.

Spirits Tasting by Luscious Spirits Craft Distillery
Sip your way through a curated tasting from Luscious Spirits Craft Distillery, one of New Jersey's standout small-batch producers. A truly unexpected and delightful addition to your festival afternoon.

Wine Tasting by Angelico Winery
Sip and savor with Angelico Winery, a beautiful Hunterdon County winery located in Lambertville. Their wines are an elegant complement to everything on your tasting menu — the perfect pour to complete the flight.

️ VIP Lanyard & Custom Pass
Your official CTB Fest VIP credential — your ticket in, your souvenir out.

VIP Tote Bag Filled with Goodies
Every VIP guest receives a curated tote bag packed with surprises from our sponsors and partners. Consider it a festival gift that keeps giving.

️ Cooling Fan
Because August in Flemington is beautiful — and hot. We've got you covered.

Exclusive VIP Seating
Relax in comfort in our VIP-only seating area on the stunning new Courthouse Square Plaza. While the rest of the festival buzzes around you, your seat is waiting.

Private Indoor Restroom Access
Clean, private, and exclusively for VIP guests. Say no more.

Your Own Check-In Experience
VIP guests have a dedicated check-in area — no hunting for the entrance, no waiting in the general admission flow. Arrive, check in, and walk straight into your afternoon.

Meet the Makers
Throughout the VIP hours, brewers from participating Hunterdon County Beer Trail breweries, the team from Luscious Spirits Craft Distillery, and representatives from Angelico Winery will be on hand to pour, share their stories, and connect with guests. This is your chance to go beyond the glass and meet the people behind what's in it.

‍‍ Families & Young Guests
Please note that the VIP Experience is a ticketed adult tasting event. While children may accompany a ticketed adult, the programming — including beer, wine, and spirits tastings — is designed for guests 21 and over, and children must remain by their parent or guardian's side at all times while in the VIP area. Families with young children may find the general festival more suited to little ones, with 130+ vendors, live music, food trucks, and activities for all ages just steps away on Main Street.

Limited to 400 Guests
VIP tickets are $45 and won't last. With four tastings, exclusive seating, a curated tote, souvenir flight cups, and more — all packed into one incredible afternoon — we expect them to sell out well in advance of August 8th.

Whether you're a craft beer lover, a wine enthusiast, a foodie, a spirits aficionado, or simply someone who believes the best festivals deserve the best seats — the CTB Fest VIP Experience was made for you.

Raise a glass. Savor the season. Experience Flemington like never before.
