We can’t say this enough: how lucky we are that each year the weekend before Thanksgiving, area food and spirits enthusiasts get to discover new flavors and tasty treats that can make you the informed star at your next holiday affair. The 11th Annual Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer, & Food Festival returns bigger than ever to DeVos Place this weekend and you will want to be sure to visit.
This event opens up to you a chance to enjoy the first sips of brand new products like local canned cocktails, to chef-led culinary workshops and instructional sessions with food authors, to any one of the many multi-course meal tasting menus from area eateries. For the
tasting menus, you will want to book reservations in advance to guarantee you a seat.
The venue is organized into fun names like The Vineyard, Hemingway Hall, Beer City Station, Cider Row, and the RendezBREW, a spirits and coffee-themed space.
