With a grand tasting event that includes over 150 wineries plus local olive oils, artisan cheeses, and specialty foods, foodies and wine geeks alike will be thrilled. Chef demonstrations and focused tastings (such as port and chocolate pairings and microbrew samplings) provide education for the novice or professional. Competitions include judging of wine and olive oils and a Hispanic cook-off, in addition to jazz performances, an apple tasting, and a beekeeping display. There are even farm animals for the kids to meet! Click here for more info
