2010 Philadelphia Food and Wine Festival October 28, 2010

The Philadelphia’s Food & Wine Festival is coming to town on Halloween weekend, showcasing the finest in wine, spirits and gourmet foods along with the talents of local chefs and culinary personalities–all in one space (the Valley Forge Convention Center)!

As an event with a mission to “Eat, Drink & Shop Everything Gourmet,” it’s exciting to note that every year the size of the gourmet show seems to double. Last year alone they added over one hundred additional exhibits including gourmet gifts, kitchen cabinets, appliances, cook books, spices and sauces, microbrew beers, wine tasting, celebrity cooking demonstrations, wine and beer seminars, cooking contests, live music and more.

For 2010, guests will be able to taste samples from the Philadelphia area’s finest chefs and receive discounts to join them at their famous restaurants for your next dining adventure. This Gourmet Shows event will make for a great day out or weekend away!

And, we couldn’t contain ourselves knowing that as part is of this year’s Celebrity Chefs for the Chefs on Stage series, our local convention center will be packed with notable chefs, including Aaron McCargo, Jr., host of the Food Network’s Big Daddy’s House, Bravo’s Top Chef Season 6 winner (and heartthrob), Michael Voltaggio, and Fabio Viviani, Bravo’s Top Chef Season 5 Fan Favorite and Executive Chef of Café Firenze. Additional celebrity chefs will be featured throughout the 3 day event during the live culinary demonstrations.
