The festival will showcase the culinary and pairing skills of local restaurants and chefs who will be competing for awards in five categories – best presentation, most creative, best of show, best use of local products, and consumer favorite pairing.
Professional judges will judge four categories and event attendees will get to vote in the consumer favorite pairing category.
Attendees will stroll between the two wineries along the vineyard trail that overlooks the beauty of Anderson Marsh and Clear Lake.
Special transportation accommodations will be provided for guests who require them.
Tickets to the event are $40 per person and include a commemorative wine glass as well as tastings and pairings at both winery venues.
Creative cuisine will be paired with fine wines from a variety of local restaurants and chefs.
Proceeds from the festival will benefit Konocti Regional Trails and the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association.
Attendees will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a two-night stay at Vigilance Villa and other great prizes.
Gregory Graham Winery is located at 13633 Point Lakeview Road and Vigilance Winery & Vineyards is located at 13888 Point Lakeview Road, both in Lower Lake.
