Rich Flavors. Simple Pleasures.

Stylish Tastes. Perfect Setting.

Join Us!  for the 6th Annual 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.  Our passion and our dedication is to tasting and trying NEW and EXCITING styles or wine. This year, we are offering more of the same with great departures into vertical tastings, French sections, Best value buys, a salute to Grenache, and many more fun win-eaux experiences.  We pour bottles that range in retail value of $8.99 - $500+.

• Lots of covered seating under the big tents.

• A special craft beer tasting BIER GARTEN experience will give guests 
something they don’t get at other local wine festivals.

The Whiskey & Bourbon Experience Lounge offers a relaxing setting 
complete with hand rolled cigar demonstrations for guests.

Our VIP pier experience is sure to please.  This is a fully catered affair with restaurant tastings from Noon - 4pm and then the Sunset Champagne Closing Party each evening for your last call.

• The Tasting Theater features hands-on cooking demonstrations and 
wine pairings that offer fun for all guests.

• Local, regional and nationally recognized chefs converge to offer meet and greets, book signings and demonstrations throughout the event. 

• Great LIVE JAZZ in Three Different Performance Areas

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.
