Int'l Wine & Food Festival Celebrates 14th Anniversary

Eclio Dumon hosts an Exclusive Tasting of Achaval-Ferrer

From our friends at the International Wine & Food Festival...

Join us from February 5th through February 9th, 2013, for a week of Wine and Food at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.

All New Festival format for 2013!

After twelve years of success with an average of 6,000 attendees each year, recent guest feedback has encouraged us to expand this year’s Festival!
The 2013 Festival will be extended over several days and will include seminars, tastings, food pairings, dinners, and a signature event each evening.

Our goal is to provide guests with multiple, focused opportunities to sample high quality food and wine, meet and greet winemakers, chefs and tastemakers, and continue our tradition of sharing the art, culture and fun of food and wine.

The International Wine & Food Festival is pleased to announce exciting changes for 2013. In past years, our “grand tasting” format has provided guests the opportunity to taste a myriad of wines each afternoon over a two day weekend. This format showcased wineries from all over the globe as well as spirits, merchandise, edibles, travel and wine experiences. After twelve years of success with an average of 6,000 attendees each year, recent guest feedback has encouraged us to expand this year’s Festival.

With our increasingly knowledgeable consumer base, the 2013 Festival will be extended over several days and will include seminars, tastings, food pairings, dinners, and a signature event each evening. Our goal is to provide guests with multiple, focused opportunities to sample high quality food and wine, meet and greet winemakers, chefs and tastemakers, and continue our tradition of sharing the art, culture and fun of food and wine.

We are currently honing our event calendar to provide the most diverse, interesting and entertaining schedule possible and will be announcing the line-up soon. Stay tuned to get the latest International Wine & Food Festival events by signing up to our mailing list and follow us on Facebook.
