More than 40 local chefs, winemakers, growers, and business owners will be on hand offering sips, samples, cooking demos and more. Enjoy local produce, fresh fish and other crave-worthy tastes.

Some of the demos will be enlightening even to serious foodies. You can learn everything from the history of the wasabi plant to cutting Tillamook Meat and how to make ceviche Baja style.
