First Blacksburg food and wine festival announced
Food, wine, art and music have always been available in Blacksburg, just not in one place at one time.
Come May 2, that will change when the Blacksburg Partnership puts on the first ever Blacksburg Fork & Cork wine and food festival at the First & Main retail center off South Main Street. The event is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine. Advance tickets are $15 or pay $18 at the gate.
That ticket will get you...
Music: Cheryl Lunsford and the Star City Hot Club Band, Lenny Marcus and the Waterdrops and Porch Loungers.
Wine: Amrhein Wine Cellars, Chateau Morrisette, Davis Valley Winery, Fincastle Vineyards and Winery, First Colony Winery, Hickory Hill Vineyards and Winery, Peaks of Otter Winery, Rebec Vineyards, Sans Soucy Vineyards, Spring Creek Wine Cellar, Virginia Mountain Vineyards, West Wind Farm Vineyards and Winery, and White Rock Vineyards and Winery
Food: Preston's, Awful Arthur's, Bull & Bones and Sake House
Art: Gourd artist and painter Tony Browning, handcrafted jewelry by Anne Vaughan and handmade stone pendants by John and Cheryl Vest.

In total agreement here and will be there for sure! Blacksburg is truly picking things up and not allowing anyone there to linger behind in times! Bravo Folks Bravo...

You have to be 21 and over so that means we cannot bring our child or families can't attend unless you can get a babysitter.
Bummer and we were looking forward to attending. We usually attend the BlueRidge wine/food pairing trail with our daughter and have lots of fun.
