Join us for one of the most highly anticipated events of the year—our Specialty Food & Beverage Tasting! Taking place on April 10th from 4:00 PM—6:00 PM, this event is a unique opportunity for Vermont specialty food and beverage producers to showcase their products to legislators, agency heads, retailers, distributors, and others, highlighting the critical role of grants and funding in supporting this vibrant industry.
This year, we’re thrilled to once again partner with the Vermont Chamber of Commerce to host the Tasting in collaboration with Tourism Economy Day. Tourism Economy Day is a day-long celebration of Vermont’s $3 billion visitor economy, which employs 11.5% of the state’s workforce. Industry leaders from tourism and hospitality will gather at the State House to engage with legislators and demonstrate their collective contributions to Vermont’s economy, culminating in our Tasting event.
Vendors
This event is open to VSFA members and non-members who produce Vermont specialty food or beverage products, including members of the Vermont Cheese Council, Vermont Brewers Association, Distilled Spirits Council of Vermont, Vermont Cider Association, and Vermont Grape & Wine Council.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to connect with legislators, share your story, and highlight the impact of Vermont’s specialty food and beverage industry on our economy.
