Food Demonstrations

Several Food and Wine Demonstrations will be held in the Heard It Through the Grapevine Demonstration Tent at the northeast corner of the festival grounds. Local chefs will prepare dishes paired with some of the wines you are able to purchase at the festival. Also, the Teflon Chef Competition will pit two of these chefs in a battle to see who can come up with the best tasting dish using a particular meat.
