How to Win Tix to The 2015 Greenwich Wine + Food Festival on Saturday

Fall ushers in crispy leaves that coat the ground, cooler temperatures, and some of our favorite events of the year . . . namely The Greenwich Wine + Food Festival. And, while it’s tough for us to pick our favorite part of the entire experience, we always look forward to Saturday where all the action goes down. This year, the Festival and Grand Tasting is on 9/26 at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, goes from 12 to 10 and is destined to be even more amazing than last year. From talking with and watching demos from celebrity chefs, to trying great bites of food and tastes of drinks from over 200 restaurants and vendors, to sipping on amazing drinks, and to live music, there’s so much to experience that you really need to stay there the whole day. Tickets are $145.20 and that includes more experiences and food than ever! 

But, thanks to Greenwich Wine + Food Festival, we’re psyched to be giving away not one, not two, but three pairs of tickets to the full-day Grand Tasting on Saturday. That’s almost $900 worth of tickets, OmNomivores! Entering couldn’t be easier, either:

1) Go to our Facebook post that announces the contest and mention a friend that you want to take with you.

2) Go to our Instagram post that announces the contest and mention a friend that you want to take with you.

3) Mention a friend you want to take with you and be sure to mention @OmNomCT and @GWFOODandWINE so we can track your entry.

Good luck and we both hope to see you there! The contest starts now and goes until Friday, September 11 at 6 pm. A pair of tickets will be given away for each of our social media accounts listed above. Well, let’s look at more of what’s going on Saturday to get you even more excited:
