Food and Wine Events

From the Regional Wine Reception to the Keynote Speaker Luncheon, Exhibitor Sponsored Trade Show Buffet, or the Best of the East Grand Gala, we find a way to offer you networking and social activities through various food and wine events.

Special Guests

We are pleased and excited to have Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and Virginia State Agriculture Secretary Todd Haymore in attendance at the Best of the East Grand Gala.  Back by popular demand will be Virginia native Andy Beckstoffer of Beckstoffer Vineyards who will attend the Regional Wine Welcome Reception on March 29 and speak at the General Session on March 30th. In addition, we are delighted to have Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, as our Keynote Speaker at the Keynote Lunch on March 31.
