Experience Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival as a VIP

Saturday, October 24 Tour A: 1:00 PM Tour B: 3:00 PM Guided by Andre Boada · $25 per person · Limited to 6 people per session

There is no shortage of things to taste at the Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival. On Saturday, October 24, the festival’s Grand Tasting takes over Marktplatz, bringing together more than 35 wineries among the 75-plus culinary and beverage partners participating throughout the weekend. This year’s lineup includes Grape Creek Vineyards, Heath Sparkling Wines, Becker Vineyards, Augusta Vin, William Chris Vineyards, Signor Vineyards, Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa, Adega Vinho and Whatley Wines, among many others. With so much to discover, it can be tempting to arrive with a plan, or simply wander from pour to pour and hope something wonderful finds you. We prefer a little more intention. Let VinoCadre take you through the Grand Tasting with a private, sommelier-led experience designed to make the most of the afternoon. With Andre Boada as your guide, you’ll have a thoughtful path through the festival’s abundance, discovering wines worth lingering over and gaining insight into the people and places behind them. And, well, it never hurts to know a few people. Wink, wink. Come share in our great love of Fredericksburg wine — and let us show you a little more of what makes this place so special. Know Before You Go: Festival admission is not included, and must be purchased separately. Tickets can be purchased here > https://fbgfoodandwine.com/festival-event-tickets/grand-tasting/#event Guests must be 21+. A designated meeting point will be shared with you after you receive confirmation of your tour. Please arrive to the meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of your selected session time.

A Sommelier-Hosted Culinary Experience in the Heart of the South with Andre Boada

November 13–15, 2026 · Charleston, South Carolina

Spend a long weekend in one of America’s great food cities with VinoCadre, as Andre Boada hosts and guides an intimate journey through the Charleston Food and Wine Classic. This three-day event featuring celebrated chefs, premium wines and spirits, and the best of local food and culture is presented by Explore Charleston, the official destination marketing organization and convention & visitors bureau for the Charleston, South Caroline region. The experiences are artfully designed by experts from the beloved culinary and lifestyle magazines Food & Wine, Southern Living, and Travel + Leisure.

Rather than simply attending the festival, you’ll experience Charleston through a wine professional’s perspective. Andre will lead the group throughout the weekend, from festival events and chef-driven dining to wine tastings and the city’s celebrated culinary scene. Along the way, enjoy the ease of having the details handled — from accommodations and dining to transportation and reservations — so you can concentrate on what brought you here in the first place: excellent food, great wine, and good company.

Expect a carefully considered itinerary with access to some of the festival’s most anticipated experiences, alongside a few VinoCadre touches beyond the festival grounds.

Space is limited to keep the group intimate and the experience personal.
