WGBH Food and Wine Festival: Event Breakdown!

Calling all food and wine enthusiasts!
 
WGBH is excited to host the sixth season of the Taste of WGBH Food & Wine Festival October 4-8, 2017.  We are again collaborating with the best chefs, producers, wineries and breweries to deliver the finest food and wine in the region. The four-day festival will include an Opening Chef’s Gala Reception, The Artisan Taste, Brunch Bar and the return of the WGBH Food Fight. Thousands of guests are expected to join us for a weekend full of delicious festivities.
