Those that have been awarded a medal will be on display and most of them available for tasting in various booths.
This feature alone would make a visit worthwhile. Entry fee is $ 20.00, and tickets for tasting are available for purchase.
In addition to taste there will be hundreds of wines, beers and spirits from all over the world. Those who wish to learn more about wine can register for tutorials staged by sommeliers, wine writers, and famous beverage personalities like Kevin Brauch.
