Greetings everyone,
How did I fail to mention the 2nd annual Food & Wine Festival at the National Harbor ? If you didn't know, now you know :-).
Taking place from June 6-7, the Food & Wine Festival at National Harbor celebrates the chefs’ use of local, fresh and responsibly sourced ingredients from both land and sea, which inspire their creativity and protect the environment. Attendees will also be able to explore the expanding world of food pairing with wine and beer.
Now in its second year, The Food & Wine Festival at National Harbor features:
What’s Cooking For Kids? a new program of fun activities and demonstrations to inspire children to cook and enjoy healthy food.
Seminars and Guest Chef Demonstrations
A varied selection of informative and entertaining sessions will be offered to both the consumer and trade professional. Accomplished chefs, wine and beer experts will host demonstrations, tastings and share signature dishes and techniques.
Belgian Beer Café
Relax and enjoy in our waterfront Belgian Beer Café featuring Stella Artois, Hoegaarden & Leffe.
Artisanal Products and Boutique Wines
Sample and learn about the growing trend of handcrafted artisanal products, which are made with great care and attention to detail, such as premium sea salt, cheese, bread, chocolate, coffee, teas, beer, olive oils, ice cream, etc. Boutique Wines represent vineyards making fewer than 5,000 cases per year and specialty wines from larger vineyards made in limited quantity. These exclusive wines present a particular passion by the winemaker.
