Party Like a Connoisseur

The International Wine and Food Festival is back. It's happening at DeVos Place on Thursday, Nov. 12 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday, Nov. 13 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 14 from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This event showcases some of Grand Rapids' finest restaurants as they offer sample plates as well as food and beverage pairings. The Riverfront Market is new for this year and will be selling breads, cheeses and other similar products.

The Grand Rapids Wine and Food Festival is also welcoming its five sister cities from around the world: Japan, Poland, Italy, Ghana, and Mexico. Each city will have samples of its main products.

Food, wine, beer and spirits seminars will also take place during the three day festival, led by Fred Bueltman of New Holland Brewery, for example, or Scott Lindquist, a manager for Constellation Wines.

The event is for adults 21 and over; tickets are $15 and are available here. Visit the Festival's Web site for more info.
