Cape May’s 14th Annual Food and Wine Festival
Each fall, foodies from around the country and across the globe head to Cape May NJ for the annual Food and Wine Festival. In 2010, the festival runs from September 18 through the 26th; we still have a few openings during the week at our Cape May bed and breakfast, so you, too, may participate in the festivities.
Stretch out in a comfortable bed after wining and dining your way through Cape May.
Events range from beer and wine tastings to classes and seminars, and most are open to everyone (excepting children). More than two dozen restaurants are participating, along with dozens of chefs, vintners and and sommeliers. Favorite activities include the Monday through Friday Gourmet Lunches, held at a different restaurant each day, and the Chefs Dine Around – five course dinners, each course is held at a different restaurant.
It’s always fun to attend a class on Victorian Etiquette (puts our manners to shame), and to learn about various teas, cheeses, and how to pair wine and food. Learn about blends (just what is the different between a varietal and a wine blend?) and the complexities of German beer. There is truly something for all tastes.
The trolleys will be out in force, shuttling participants from one event to the next, one restaurant to another. Sidewalks are sure to be full of people trying to stave off the accumulation of extra pounds. We recommend simply bringing loose clothing.
It is indeed a festive time at our bed and breakfast Cape May. We just love to hear about meals our guests loved, wines they enjoyed, and classes they attended. There are some mighty fine restaurants in town – come try a few.
