A few weeks ago we gave you a heads up about a special Wine and Food Showcase. Now it’s time to start planning this coming weekend’s outing to take advantage of all the events at the Fifth Annual Wine and Food Showcase (discount price link valid until 2/10!). Chantilly’s Westfields Marriott will be the site of the two-day event, Saturday and Sunday February 12 and 13.

There’ll be chef-driven demonstrations, free seminars, and an opportunity to taste a record number of impressive wines. Instead of visiting a single winery in a weekend, you can form a better palate-producing taste at the Showcase. Maybe this is a good event to bring along a non-drinking friend who’ll be more food focused while you do the important sampling! You have a few days to plan your outing so you can maximize all the great events.

Food, wine, and chocolate: A perfect formula for a one-stop trip.
