Join Us!  for the 5th Annual incarnation of the Wine and Food Festival at National Harbor; bringing together world-renowned chefs, artisanal craftsmen, and culinary pioneers with thousands of Metro DC’s foodies. This year is very exciting, we've added a lot of great new features:   

• Over 150 Different Wines, Beers, and Spirits in an ALL-YOU-CARE-TO-TASTE affair

• Wines and More Wines.  Last year we tripled our selections. This year, we are offering more of the  same with great departures into vertical tastings, French sections, a salute to Grenache, and many more fun win-eaux experiences.  We pour bottles that range in retail value of $8.99 - $349+. 

• More covered seating under the big tents. 

• Over 25% larger floorplan with more pavilions, an extended pier and more live music.
            
• A special craft beer tasting BIER GARTEN experience will give guests something they don’t get at other local wine festivals.

• Great LIVE JAZZ in Three DIfferent Performance Areas

• Special Kid's Activity Area and Moonbounces for the little ones.

 
W & F  will offer several wine, beer and food tastings and dinners that are beyond the regular show hours and offerings.  We will post these as they come available. Look to the LEFT for these unique experiences.  Each is limited attendance, must be reserved in advance on a – first come, first serve basis.
