Sun Wine Food Fest

At the 18th Annual Sun Wine & Food Fest at Mohegan Sun 

After a year-long hiatus due to the pandemic, The Annual Sun Wine and Food Fest is Back at Mohegan Sun and better than ever!  

 

Beginning Friday, January 28th, wine connoisseurs and foodies alike can sample their way through a massive array of vintages and specialty foods, all while celebrating the return of popular events such as the Grand Tasting, Celebrity Chef Dine Around, and more. Mohegan Sun Wine & Food Fest has an event fit for everyone’s pallet! 

 

Looking to warm up the palate for the big weekend? Then the Earth Ballroom is the place to be on Friday from 6:00pm—9:00p.m. Beam Suntory Inc. will be hosting the Whiskeys of the World Tasting. Guests can mix and mingle while getting a taste of the finest selection of whiskeys paired with bites from their geographic origin. Featuring products from Japan, Ireland, Scotland and down home here in Kentucky, there is a whiskey for you! 

 

On the same night, a sneak peak of the signature Grand tasting will be available from 8:00pm-10:00pm at the Earth Expo center. The Grand Tasting Preview is your opportunity to get an exclusive look at main event while celebrity chefs exhibit their culinary skills right in front of you. 

 

The following afternoon is what countless imbibers have patiently waited for: The Grand Tasting. From 1:00pm-5:00pm in the 125,000 square-foot Earth Expo, there will be over 1,000 different types of wine, beer, and spirits for guests to try. Foodies can also purchase signature dishes and small bites from some of the region’s top restaurants, and the main culinary stage hosts a full day of celebrity chef demos from the likes of Aarón Sánchez, Robert Irvine, Nyesha Arrington, and more! 

 

Overlapping an hour with the Grand tasting, Vintage Cru will take place in the Earth Ballroom from 4:00pm-6:00pm. There, attendees can taste the “best-of-the-best” vintages and even meet with the winemakers one-on-one! 

Later that night, the signature walk-around event takes place in the Uncas Ballroom (8:00pm to 10:30pm.) The Celebrity Chef Dine Around is a food lover’s paradise under the sun. Watch the masters at work over 20 celebrity chefs personally dish out a signature food item paired with a wine, beer, or spirit. Dance into the night with music provided by DJ Irie. 

 

The Event caps off with the return of the Sunday Brunch. End your weekend with a delightful brunch and tasty specialty beverages while Professional Football Conference Championships are airing in novelle.
