An event is doing well when there is growth. While a lot of craft shows have had less attendance in the previous year, the annual Tallahassee Wine and Food Festival still went on with around 750 attendees. It was presented by the First Commercial Insurance Company, and it has become Tallahassee’s premier event. This year, we expect the events to be sold out once again, as it continues to grow.

A Wine Dinner starts off the festival on the first night. This features an elegant cocktail reception, a live auction, and the wine dinner itself, of course. You’ll get to partake in the full course accentuated by a selection of Italian wines. We will also have celebrity auctioneers - who are to be revealed at a later date! - who will host the bidding on a wide selection of items.

A cooking class is one of the featured events and it features an internationally recognized chef. Anyone who signs up will have the chance to pick one class from a list of three different courses that have to do with French cooking. You’ll enrich your skills by learning new tricks from the master chefs. You can enjoy a fabulous brunch and the celebrity chefs will present cooking demonstrations afterwards that. You may also want to purchase cookbooks from the event.

If you’re interested in wine, you can learn from the best in the business, and go to wine classes that teach you how to cook with it, taste it, and make it from the most advanced connoisseurs. You’ll get to sample select wines from “Down Under”, including an assortment of over 200 distinct wines from the world over.

And at last, while you’re inspired by fine dining and wine tasting, you’ll get to complement these sensations by feasting your other senses at the craft show, wherein there are unique works of arts screened by jurors.
