WINE AND BOAR AND CAVIAR, OH MY! FREDERICKSBURG FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL SETS ITS LINEUP

Want to learn how to break down and cook a feral hog, or how best to pair artisan cheeses and wines for your next dinner party?

Check out culinary demonstrations at the Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival, which is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 26.

Add-on tickets for the presentations went on sale this week, and range from $35 to attend the “Blend It Like Becker” wine blending competition to $75 to watch Chef Jesse Griffiths break down a wild boar into chops, roasts and hams.

Other presentations include a presentation on different meet grades and cuts, a ribs and caviar pairing and a demo on making homemade butter tortillas from scratch.

Attendees must purchase both a festival badge and the add-on badge to attend most demonstrations. Tickets start at $150 for general admission badges, but locals in certain ZIP codes can buy passes for $100.

The festival, which is produced by the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce, starts with a dinner on Friday, Oct. 25, featuring five Hill Country chefs and five wines and cocktails, followed by a full day of activities on Saturday, Oct. 26. The morning schedule includes Vino Vinyasa Yoga, a family friendly community event and a waterfront brunch, while the Grand Tasting Event and culinary demonstrations run from 1 to 5:30 p.m.
