 If you don't live in New Orleans, it's time to start planning your trip for the 2007 New Orleans Wine and Food Experience. This five-day event focusing on wine and New Orleans food takes place over Memorial Day weekend, and it's always a memorable event (unless you have too much wine). Much of New Orleans may still be struggling, but the great restaurants and hotels are up and running at full steam--if you don't leave the tourist areas, you'll never know there was a problem.
More than 15,000 glasses of wine will be poured from 1,000 different bottles produced by more than 200 winemakers at the 2007 NOWFE. The event will present its most ambitious schedule of events yet May 23-27, featuring world-class wineries from around the globe and New Orleans top culinary artisans.
“We intend for the 16th annual event to be a celebration of wine and food, as well as a salute to our city’s triumphs over the past 16 months,” said Mark Needham, 2007 NOWFE board president. |

The 2007 NOWFE begins with Vintner Dinners at more than 20 restaurants and culminates with the Bubbles and Brunch event. The expanding Royal Street Experience and the two-day Grand Tastings are two more highlights. If you can't do anything else, attend one of the Grand Tastings...at $80 ($85 at the door) and literally hundreds of wines to taste, it's the best value for your wine-tasting buck. If you do two things, take in a Vintner Dinner at one of the city's finest restaurants.
VinNOLA!, the new premium tasting event, will give 150 wine enthusiasts an opportunity to mingle with notable winemakers while sampling up to 120 wines from around the world at Muriel’s Jackson Square. Each wine exceeds a retail value of $75.
Make those reservations now! A good time awaits you in the Crescent City. |
