Stowe Wine and Food Classic 2015
Updated on March 31st, 2015
Stowe, with its 50 restaurants, has established an marvelous reputation for culinary performance despite being the home to less than 5,000 permanent residents. Each year for the past 17 years, Stowe hosts a remarkable event that literally showcases Vermont culinary excellence over a three-day festival. The goal of the event is to allow participants to enhance their personal tasting palate. Vermont already claims world class, award winning craft brews, breweries and cheeses of all styles, and it has been a leader in farm-to-table food preparation and dining. Enjoy it all during the Stowe Wine and Food Classic. Plan your getaway to our Stowe bed and breakfast, and take advantage of our great spring special:

New this year is a Spanish Farm to Table Gala Dinner on Saturday night featuring the wines from Cune Rioja (We were a bit surprised that Linda wasn’t asked to contribute one of her Stone Hill Inn famous breakfast offerings — Crème Brulee French Toast – possibly as one of the desserts for the Gala Dinner! Perhaps, next yearJ)
The Stowe Wine and Food Classic is the annual signature event of Stowe Charities Inc. The proceeds from this year’s event will go towards refurbishing Copley Hospital’s Chemotherapy/Infusion Suites – a facility that provides over 2,000 infusion services annually. Stowe Charities, Inc. is a 501c(3) charitable organization formed in 2008 for the purpose of raising funds for charitable organizations in Vermont. Each year Stowe Charities, Inc. presents its signature fundraising event, the Stowe Wine and Food Classic, which is a one-of-a-kind food and wine experience, taking participants from farm to table and vine to glass. Over the past 17 years the event has raised close to $250,000 for Vermont area charities including this year’s beneficiaries, Copley Hospital and The Vermont Foodbank.

At Stone Hill we’ve been to this event in the past and can vouch for the quality of the foods, wines, beers. Food has such importance in Vermont that we’ve just added a new Honeymoon Food Lover Package.
We’re also sensitive to the need to assist our area charities in so many ways; we’re exploring the possibilities for volunteering. We’d love to show you around the event – it’s only a couple of miles from the Stone Hill Inn.
