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! 

Win 2 More Tix to Chocolate, Wine + Food Lovers Evening 2015

We have two more tickets to the Chocolate, Wine & Food Lovers Evening on 2/5 up for grabs. It’s all going down right the The Marriott Hotel & Spa in Stamford from 6-9 with plenty of food, drinks, sweets, and boutique items that you can stock up on to give to your Valentine. In addition, there will be some silent auction items that you can bid on. All profits from the night go directly to Shelter for the Homeless, helping to provide housing and assistance to the homeless to bring them to self-sufficency.

Chocolate, Wine & Food Lovers Evening 2015 Sweet Deets + Ticket Giveaway

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and, you know what that means: yup, time for the annual Chocolate, Wine, & Food Lovers Evening! This year it’s going down on 2/5 from 6-9 at The Marriott Hotel & Spa in Stamford. This event has been held as a way to not only help people find the best drinks, food, and desserts in Fairfield County, but to also give attendees a chance to pick up some great gifts at the Valentine Boutique or via silent auctions. But, the real heart of the event is the cause: 100% of the proceeds go directly to Shelter for the Homeless, a Stamford-based organizaton that serves Lower Fairfield County by “[P]roviding temporary housing to homeless men, striving to obtain permanent supportive housing and services for men and women tailored  to meet their relevant needs, and empowering people to help themselves achieve their greatest level of self-sufficiency.”

Last year was so much fun, we talked with so many great people, ate so much great food and tried out so many new restaurants, drinks, chocolates, and cupcakes that it was well worth it. Tickets are just $60 and can be bought here, by calling (203) 406-0017, or online/at the door for $70 after 2/4.
