Before booking
Use the official Food & Wine page for the live schedule and tickets. Read the official FAQ for venue, re-entry, weather, and dietary-information limits. Individual events have different locations and admission rules; do not infer one event's policy applies to another.
Arrange a sober driver, designated driver, taxi, or other transportation before any tasting. Confirm parking and accessibility with the specific venue.
