Wine Lovers and Foodies head for Annapolis

The Annapolis Food and Wine Festival, the premier event in historic downtown Annapolis, Maryland, combining the cuisine of the city�s best restaurants with award-winning wines, will be held during the weekend of November 6 and 7 in the Downtown City Dock Area of Annapolis.

It is centered around three of Annapolis' prime attractions: fine dining and gourmet food; premier wine and spirit purveyors; and the natural setting of the Chesapeake Bay. Here you can enjoy food and wine pairings; gourmet chef cooking demos; and wine tasting flights � all add up to a fun-filled weekend for wine lovers and foodies alike.

Special events include a selection of "Vintner Dinner Parties" at award-winning downtown Annapolis restaurants as well as tastings of "Champagne and Oysters on the Half-Shell." For a romantic afternoon, perhaps "Wine, Dine, and Cruise the Chesapeake Bay."

Known as the �sailing capital of the world,� Annapolis and its city dock waterfront provide a natural setting for the two day event.  With a great view of Ego Ally and its parade of sailing vessels, this historic seaport is an inviting, romantic, and fun-filled city.

As a premier travel destination on the east coast, Annapolis boasts over seventy-five restaurants in its downtown Main Street-Maryland Avenue-West Street-Dock Street-Eastport area. Many restaurants create menus that highlight local seafood cuisine but one can also dine on authentic Sicilian pasta or simply sip a cocktail on a deck overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.
