The GREENWICH 2014 WINE+FOOD FESTIVAL, a three-day event that benefits The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, is just a few days away. The festival is hosted by Serendipity magazine in conjunction with other event sponsors. The festival will be taking place Thursday, September 25 – Saturday, September 27 at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Dozens of restaurants will be sampling their delicious creations. Beer + Wine + Spirit Vendors will also offer tastings.
In addition to these tastings, demonstration tents will house cooking presentations by celebrity chefs including Geoffrey Zakarian, Jean-Georges, Aaron Sanchez, Anne Burrell, Adam Richman and more. Other features include demonstrations in the sommelier and mixologist tent as well as the BBQ Pitmaster’s stage, celebrity chef book signings, the third annual Burger Battle and the first annual Top Bartender Showdown. The Ian Murray Band, The Bacon Brothers and Alabama will be performing beginning at 6:30pm, with food served during the musical performances by various local food trucks.

A new ticketing option this year includes access for a select number of attendees to “Tequila & Tostadas! With Aaron Sanchez,” an intimate gathering featuring food and beverage.
