TASTING ETIQUETTE

DO NOT LINE UP - You will have access and PLENTY of time to visit all vendors - come back to the table later if more than six people are waiting. If a vendor has a line-up, it's likely because their product needs to be prepped to serve. Mingle! Wander! Explore!

This is a sample festival. Each vendor is exhibiting their product in sample sizes, not meal sizes. Make sure you come ready to take your time and taste everything.

WILL IT BE BUSY?
Yes! The event will sell out which means it will be a full house. Please take your time between vendors.

WHAT WILL THE PORTIONS BE LIKE?
Keep in mind all vendors are providing a sample of their product. So each food sample ranges between 0.5 - 3 ounce servings. Beverage samples will be between 1 - 4 ounces.

SHOP AT THE EVENT
Festival ticket holders will also have access to shop directly with vendors. You will be able to purchase cheeses, oils, meats, pork rinds and other products. Tasting something you love at the festival and bringing it home with you that evening.​ We will be able to accept all major credit cards.
