2012 Food & Drink Festivals throughout the US and beyond

Food and Wine events are popping up everywhere and I was thinking how dynamic would it be to go to every event on this list, flying all over the country and back again eating and drinking and writing about it. I’m thinking there’s a “novel” idea here! As new events pop up I’ll be sure to add them to the list; if you have an event you would like to be considered for this list please email us with your submission, via the contact us page. But in the mean time I think you’re pretty well covered here, this should give you your food and wine fix for a while.

  1. I think attending them all is a fantastic idea, and I’m sure your employer sees the value of paying for all your travel. (-;

    If it helps, I, for one, would read all of your reviews and even click on some ads while reading them to help cover the expense!
