New York City Wine & Food Festival

The New York City Wine & Food Festival takes place each October as a benefit for the Food Bank for NYC and Share Our Strength's No Child Hungry campaign, so you can feel good about filling up with food and drink for a good cause. For four days, the calendar is packed with themed seminars, wine pairings, culinary demos, and other events, held at venues throughout the city and hosted by celebrity chefs from the Food Network and Cooking Channel. The largest and most popular are the walk around Grand Tasting events on Saturday and Sunday, where attendees visit tasting stations from hundreds of chefs from around the country, while mingling with celebrity chefs in the crowd.
