The 18th Annual Waltham Food and Wine Festival
New for 2010, the festival will be held in the Eden Vale Ballroom of the luxurious Westin Waltham Boston Hotel, conveniently located just off I-95/128 on Third Avenue in Waltham. The new location provides the festival with easy highway access, convenient parking, and room for more restaurants, more activities, and more attendees.
More than 300 attendees from Waltham and Metrowest communities will enjoy an elegant evening of food, wine, music, and surprises. Each guest enjoys champagne and samples the fare of some of Waltham’s most popular restaurants. A bounty of fine wines, served by the sommeliers of Gordon’s Liquors, complements the cuisine. In addition, Waltham area cultural attractions, such as the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra, will provide entertainment throughout the evening, along with cooking demonstrations from Waltham’s own celebrity chefs. The festival will also showcase innovations past and present such as the James Bond DBS Aston Martin, and more.
