The annual Blue Ridge Food Ventures Marketplace showcasing the artisan and gourmet foods of BRFV clients has an exciting new venue: a special pavilion inside the WNC Magazine Asheville Wine & Food Festival.

The event takes place August 14, 1-5pm inside the air-conditioned expo center at the WNC Agriculture Center, across from Asheville Regional Airport. For the price of admission, $35 in advance and $40 at the door, festival attendees can enjoy tastings from 20 Blue Ridge Food Ventures producers and 35 wineries, distributors and stores.

In addition, 24 local restaurants and bakeries will also offer samples -- plus, the best chef in WNC will be named with the live finals of the Chef’s Challenge cook-off.

Don't miss this exciting (and tasty!) event, and the opportunity to support local food and wine producers, farmers, chefs and businesses.
