Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival at Harrah’s, Atlantic City, NJ

Last month, Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, NJ hosted the first annual Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival.  I, unfortunately, was unable to attend to share all the exciting news, however, Maya from Gemini Girl went in my place and was came back with all the adventure details to share with you!

Below is her experience:

Last week I was given two tickets by NYCityMama to the Food & Wine Festival in Atlantic City. Since she was on a road trip, she couldn’t use her tickets. I jokingly told her I would be her purse carrier if she had an extra ticket for me. She told me she would do me one better and give me her tickets if I would write a little review.

SCORE!

I went on Sunday, August 2, and decided that the massive amounts of rain wouldn’t deter me from my excursion. t the door, we were greeted with a smile and an empty wine glass (best way to be greeted by the way). The place was JAM PACKED. It was great to see all my fellow foodies walking around and truly taking in the event. The vendors who were there to promote their products were very cheerful and you could tell that they really loved their product. We had some VERY GOOD Chardonnay. The best I have ever had actually.

We waited on a VERY LONG LINE for a sampling of some wonderful gourmet food (well worth it!)

They had a cooking demonstration where a few chefs gave us all quick and simple recipes that we can all utilize at home:

I mean, what more could you want in an event? All in all, it was a wonderful time and I will definitely be attending next years event!

Thank you Maya!  To read more from Maya visit her blog at Gemini Girl.
