Just one more week ’til I get to enter into a wonderful, wine-induced coma.
That’s right – it’s almost time for the second Columbus Wine Fest, taking place July 30-31 at Franklin Park Conservatory. The festival provides an opportunity to sample and learn about more than 200 wines from around the world and around the corner. Mix that in with some of Columbus’ finest foods, like Barrio Tapas, Due Amici, Trattoria Roma, and BRAVO! Cucina Italiana, and you’ve got a can’t-miss Columbus event. There will also be a Belgian Beer Café to educate guests on proper beer pouring techniques, the importance of using the right glassware and food pairing ideas.
Proceeds from the festival benefit Franklin Park Conservatory, Columbus’ premier horticultural and educational institution and a staple in the community. So feel good about that next glass of vino!
I had a BLAST at Columbus Wine Fest last year. You know when you’re six years old and your parents take you to Toys R Us and everything is so magical and perfect? That’s kinda like the Columbus Wine Festival, for grown-ups! I can’t wait to go back this Friday and look forward to recording an episode of TappedIn.tv there!
