Vintner's Crown Fairgrounds

• The party is a midday party in the courtyards of the Spires of the Morning temple. It is without a doubt the social event of Greengrass, and many people are seeking to be present for it.
• The courtyard is filled with wooden stands, constructed by the various Houses (and guild).
  • Each one has a pavilion over it, a table with simple wooden cups, servants behind that table dipping from open casks behind them.
  • Most of the stands also have seats arranged in front of them for musicians to sit performing, to lure folk over, or large open areas with benches to provide seating under the pavilion, and the like.
• The judging will be performed by a secret panel of judges, led by the High Radiance Ghentilara, high priestess of the Spires.
• There are also a variety of Lathandran acolytes circulating bearing platters of smallfoods from the kitchens: small wedges of cheese, pieces of fruitcake, bits of stewed or broiled meats on slices of bread, and the like.

The Guild Stands

Each vintage represented by the Vintners', Distillers, and Brewers' Guild is given its own small stand, all gathered in a great circle that is entered via an arch. Everyone within wears the livery of the guild. Stands serve:

• Waterdhavian Fields Finest: A Fine dandelion, rose hips, violets and other herbs flower wine, all the rage for serving in garden or hunting parties of late, manned by a trio of guildsmen with violet-and-rosehip boutonnieres at their breast.
• Dark Delights: A Fine resinated bloodwine, redolent of shadowtop resin and other woodland scents and flavors, attended by a guildwoman with long dark hair and showing plenty of cleavage.
• Taste of the East: A Fine conditium fortified red wine
• Zzar: The Good white mistwine fortified with almond alcohol, fiery orange in color
• Good Spirits Scarlet: A Good red wine, overseen by younger-looking guildsmen, under the watchful eye of the guildmaster Razaar Slissin
• Old Devil Firewine: A Good firewine, tended by a pair of Calishite brothers
• Sweetruff Sweetwine: A Good hill-wine, crafted of carrots flavored with sweetruff and lemongrass, the product of the Sweetruff halflings who tend the stand.

The Ammakyl Pavilions

Two stands, with plain canvas pavilions, but banners marked with the green-hills-and-blue-sky heraldry of the House.

• One stand features their Maiden's Tomb Tor vintages: Dancing Maiden, an amazing Fine red wine, and Red Tor Sweetest, a flavorful Good strawberry wine.
• Another stand features their Ardeep Emerald Wine, a deep green Fine tart fortified apple wine, with rich aromatic herbs and some fortifying alcohol; and Elfin Hill Amphail, a Good mistwine (sparkling white wine)

The Rosznar "Houses"

Two stands, both designed very differently from the others.

• One, the "House of Decadence" is a large pavilion tent, in which delicate resin incenses burn, lightly scenting the air and augmenting the intoxicating qualities of the vintages they serve there: Whitehawk Greatwine, a Fine xera-fortified red wine; Whitehawk Spicewine, a Fine conditium; and Whitehawk Black, a Good chessentan-fortified bloodwine, deeply rich and highly intoxicating
• The other, the "House of Spring" is also a large pavilion tent, decorated with standing trellises of woven hothouse plants, and delicately playing musicians, and featuring: Laradael Honey Wine, the Good honey wine actually made in the Rosznar villa in Waterdeep, from the honey of their apiary there; and White Magic, their Good white artwine.

The Amcathra Pavilions

Three stands, all with blue-and-red pavilions, with three silver moons emblazoned on the fronts of the stands.

• One stand provides tastes of its Horseshoe Gold, a Fine honey wine. This stand has space for a revolving set of bards, who all sing springtime love songs and elven ballads.
• Another is set up for two kinds of Good gooseberry-and-huckleberry wines, Maeldmar's Finest and Maeldmar's Magical (the last of which is an artwine).
• The last is for three other Good vintages: Brightblade Bitterwine, a hibiscus, lavender and wormwood herbal wine; Three Moons Dawnwine, a dawnwine of a beautiful pink hue; and Horseshoe Haelracras, a strong, spicy drink redolent of cinnamon, clove, ginger and other spices. There are no particular entertainments there.

The Melshimber Pavilions

Three stands, with pearlescent grey pavilion canopies, and elegant furnishings set out on large carpets in front of each, providing comfortable seating. Each stand has a Fine highlight, and supporting vintages.

• One offers Manycherries Bold, a fine red wine redolent of cherries as its highlight, with First Frost, a Good quality wine of purple-blue color and far Northern provenance.
• Another features High Pulass, a fortified wine that is dry, somewhat salty and pleasantly nutty, supported by Clarry Superior, the House's Good dawnwine incorporating raspberries, rosemary and bee pollen.
• The last is the Coin Stand, featuring Gold Coin, a Fine white wine the color of liquid gold, supported by Copper Coin, a Good white wine the color of copper.

The Thann Castle

House Thann has erected a faux castle, with 15' tall square towers and walls, all wood with painted facades to make them look like stone, featuring several panes of stained glass with the Thann heraldry, and vines that drape down over the top of the "battlements".

• Upon the "throne" dias is the House's Wintermist vintage, a Fine ice mistwine (ice champagne), rich and served incredibly cold.
• Around the dias are other tables, serving Arbor Coast White, their Good white wine; Radamandar Sweet, a white clarry sweetened with honey, cardamom and other spices; and their Bridgewater Claret, a sweet claret wine.

The Bardic Circle

Nestled in the eastern cradle of towers is the Bardic Circle, a simple arrangement of stools and benches, with a slightly elevated stand for musicians to play facing the temple itself, allowing their performance to be magnified and echoed off the walls of the great spires. The Temple of Lathander has offered a prize purse for the finest performance of the day, inviting all the musicians who are there either as guests or working for one of the exhibitors to try their talent.
