Description

The Asheville Wine & Food Festival features the finest regional, national, and international wines, exceptional local restaurants, craft beer and spirits, and handcrafted artisanal foods for three days of palate-pleasing indulgence. The Festival kicks off on Thursday night with the finale of a hot competition to name the best chef in western North Carolina. The last teams standing in the Chefs Challenge will have one frenzied afternoon to create and prepare dishes using a secret local ingredient, revealed only hours earlier, to win the coveted award. On Friday evening it?s SWEET, a decadent after-dinner f?te featuring locally sourced desserts, sparkling wines and spirits. The big event is the Grand Tasting on Saturday, held in the newly renovated U.S. Cellular Center, with cooking demonstrations, a mixology contest, a wine competition, opportunities to learn from the area?s internationally recognized culinary experts, and plenty of products to purchase for a tasty reminder of your Festival fun.
