The Grand Tasting: Largest gathering of its kind in Asheville
On Saturday, August 25, from 1:30 to 5 p.m., the festivities continue with the Asheville Wine & Food Festival Grand Tasting, inside the sparkling newly renovated U.S. Cellular Center. Featuring a smorgasbord offering more than 300 wines, creations prepared by some of Asheville?s most celebrated and internationally recognized chefs, and samples of local artisan food products such as Lusty Monk Mustard and Imladris Farm jams, the affair promises to be the largest gathering of its kind that Asheville has ever seen under one roof. Come ready to spend the afternoon strolling, sipping, savoring and shopping.

As if drinking wine all afternoon, noshing on local delicacies, and enjoying live entertainment weren?t enough, the festival also features a mixologist contest, an amateur wine judging competition, cooking demonstrations, countless opportunities to meet, greet, and learn from area culinary experts, a fashion show of high-design culinary apparel, and plenty of tasty products to purchase and take home. (Many festival-goers even get a jump on holiday gift-buying at this event!)
Not a wine drinker? Come anyway ? there?s something for every taste. Sample craft brews that have earned Asheville its status as Beer City USA. Or discover spirits from the region?s newest distilleries ? this ain?t your grandpa?s moonshine. (And don?t worry: limo and taxi services will be close at hand, and special lodging packages are available, too.)
