The festival began to emphasize wine education and food pairing recognizing that young professionals were part of the new food and wine movement and were interested in pairing foods with the appropriate wines at the event. Patrons began to request music as part of the festival and artists expanded their artistic offerings.

Wine and Art have grown from a small social gathering to an annual feature festival that hundreds of people look forward to every year. Because of how popular the event was, The BNT changed the duration of the event from just one day to an entire weekend. A BNT Members-Only Night is held the Friday before the weekend event. This change from provided our artists and vendors with greater public exposure and benefits as it allowed more people to experience the event. The festival continues to grow and add new features and experiences like the champagne lounge, beer garden after party, educational classes and workshops and culinary demonstrations.
