During this event, over 50 chefs, wine and spirit merchants, and hundreds of food connoisseurs will join together to create a platform for extraordinary culinary exploration. As part of the event's unique experience, more than 50 culinary students will be working side by side with New York's premier industry professionals as they prepare and unveil the latest trends in food and wine.
The event highlights will include a culinary sampling from select restaurants paired with winemakers, distributors and outlets from around the world as well as fine restaurants displaying gourmet tastings.
