Savour Stratford Tasting

The Savour Stratford Tasting is the centerpiece of the festive weekend. Set under marquee tents along the Avon River, guests will enjoy our culinary garden party and dine on over 30 local delicacies crafted by over 30 acclaimed chefs and their partnered farmer, watered with Ontario VQA vintages and craft brews accompanied by a range of jazz and contemporary music.

New for 2010 is a VIP Ticket providing early entry to chat with chefs and artisan food producers and a take away Savour Stratford package. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased on-line, by phone or in person.
