Wine and Food Festival - Sidney

Saturday, November 07, 2009

The Wine & Food Festival is held at St. Matthew's Parish Center. You will be greeted with warm smiles, laughter and the mouth watering aroma of delicious morsels waiting to be tasted. Sample your choice of champagne, chardonnay or zinfandel, non alcoholic specialty drinks and beers, while enjoying spectacular works of art donated by local artists. The unique combination of wine, food and art make this a much anticipated event. Attendees stroll about during the evening's silent auction, bidding on many different types of art. A much anticipated feature is the evenings' quick draw program. Three different artists take center stage and create an original artwork to be auctioned live later in the evening.

Area restaurants take this opportunity to showcase their new holiday treats along with old favorites.

A tradition of the Wine & Food Festival is the commemorative wine glass. Every year the committee selects a different local landmark to be showcased and local artist Bill Clark does a rendition of the selection to be screen-printed onto the glass.

This event is a fund raiser for the Foundation for Community Care and tickets are $35.00.
