Some guest comments from the 2025 Wine & Food Affair:
I just wanted to say that I think this event probably tops anything offered in the country! Whenever I am at a winery, I always talk to the people next to me and ask them if they are familiar with the event, if they say no, I give them the date of the next one ( I always have that as soon as it is released). Or I tell them to check with y’all. I guess I am just a dyed in the wool ambassador for Wine Road. One of my favorite aspects of this event is that folks do fly in from all over to participate. It make it so fun to have these conversations! I talked to one group that flies in about 3 times a year from Burbank to do wine country events! Keep up the good work! Judy C.
Hi – We had a GREAT time at the Wine & Food Affair. Oris Winery was amazing, they had the most unique wines and had the absolute BEST pairing with their olive oil cake!! Thanks – Deborah M.
Four of us are planning to attend in 2026 – it will be our 3rd year in a row. Please let me know the dates, so I can get our lodging booked. We enjoyed some great new wineries this year. Thanks for your work. Don S. – Idaho
