Taste The Good Ninth Annual Wine & Food Festival National Harbor waterfront April 29 and 30, 12-6 pm If being wined and dined on a waterfront location moves you, then prepare to sail into your own personal Heaven.

The ninth annual Wine & Food Festival at National Harbor’s waterfront brings together world-renowned chefs, artisanal craftsmen, and culinary pioneers with thousands of foodies in a two-day tasting feast that will be sure to excite every palate.

Guests attending the festival on April 29 and 30 will enjoy over 150 different international and local wines, beers and spirits.

Foods from seafood to barbecue will be available to taste and buy from some of metro DC’s favorite eateries and food trucks. Beer lovers will appreciate Bier Garten - where they can experience special craft beers they won’t find at their local watering hole.
