W E LC OM E Highlands’ fanfare is not a herald of trumpets or pounding tympani, it is amazing hospitality, glorious panoramic views, mountain majesty, award-winning culinary creations, and an exceptional array of fine wines. Those are the flourishes that strike a chord with thousands who visit every year, especially those who participate in Highlands annual Food and Wine Festival.

If you fancy yourself a foodie of distinction and an appreciator of fine wine, a pleasure-feast awaits.

Highlands is not just any food and wine destination… it’s a world-class happening. In just a few years time, the Highlands Food and Wine Festival has become a must-experience event.

So, welcome, one and all. Thank you for coming to our cork-popping, pouring-and-tasting, ladling-and-savoring, roasting-and-toasting, dancing-and-singing, partying-and-more-partying good time, high on our historic mountain top. Is it any wonder our event gets hundreds of rave reviews year after year? Streets, restaurants, bars, tents, and food trucks are bursting at the seams.

Enjoy the crowds of smiling faces, grinning with good old-fashioned mountain satisfaction.
