Food and Wine Festivals in your Town

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Long and Foster Smith Mountain Lake Office

Who says networking has to be dull.   Food and Wine Festivals are held every month around America.   If you enjoy networking with other REALTORS and  great  Food and Wine, then this Blog may be for you.   If your area is hosting a Food and Wine Festival, please join this blog  and share the dates and times of the festivals with other REALTORS, along with other things they might enjoy while visiting your area.     

Here is a Hyper-Link to one website that shows a list of Food and Wine Festivals around the US and it is pretty good, but if you are a local REALTOR of any of these  , you can add more details of how to really enjoy your areas festival and also allow other REALTORS to meet and greet you,while they are visiting.  I had a wonderful experience at the Food and Wine Festival of Charleston SC and got to meet a great REALTOR named Debbie Cromar, who shared her knowledge of that beautiful historic area.     Our Smith Mountain Lake Area holds a Food and Wine Festival every Year at the Bernards Landing Resort and this year it will be held September 26th-28th.  This festival is held in the Fall and showcases many of the Virginia Wineries.  The Roanoke Valley also holds a Wine Festival and this is a hyper-link to the details.

 Maybe if start enjoying the great uses of media for sharing good things that are happening, maybe the Mediawill catch on and stop reporting only negative reports and start reporting on what is truly great about living in America and owning the American Dream.

Hi Chris

Looks like you are from California and if you are anywhere near Napa Valley, Sonoma and more, you

are in the "Wine City".    Good Luck finding a great Food and Wine Festival.    I hear they have a Mustard and a Garlic Festival in the above areas.... Sounds like fun for the future.

You're right Glanda, I should have no trouble!  I'm actually going on a wine tasting tour at the end of the month, so that should be fun.  Bunch of the girls getting together.  My sister owns a transportation company so we get the limo cheap : )  Hope you're having a great weekend!

Anyone been to the Food and Wine Festival Held in South Beach Miami Florida?   It is the Best of the Best!

Over 30,000 people attend all the different functions and you get to meet a lot of great people.  Nothing like getting a group of people together with good food and good wine.  The South Beach Festival is held around Feb 20th each year and you really have to get tickets October 15th to get in most of the great events.

 I find it helps to sign up on their email list and they will send you a notice when tickets are up for sale.

They also help with accommodations at a better rate
