Music City Food and Wine Festival
September 17 & 18 2016
http://www.musiccityfoodandwinefestival.com/


I had the opportunity to attend the kick-off for one of the best food and wine festivals that South has to offer, the Music City Food and Wine Festival. The fourth annual event will be held September 17 and 18 at Bicentennial Park.

Trust me when I say that there is something for everyone. If you are interested in culinary demonstrations, check out the demo tent where Tim Love can give you tips on how to cook the perfect steak or Andrew Zimmern can share his latest food adventures.

Not only can you wander around the Grand Tasting area and sample bites from some of Nashville’s best, but there are various tasting sessions throughout the day that include Patron Tequila, Belle Meade Bourbon and the latest craft beers from Blackberry Farm. Take it from someone who’s been to this event over the past few years, wear comfortable clothing, conducive to copious amounts of consuming and imbibing. If you find something that makes your taste buds scream with happiness, tag @girlsonfoodblog and @blonde_voyage_nashville on Instagram so we can make sure we check it out and possibly feature your photo!

FullSizeRender 31One of my favorite events is Harvest Night. Only in Nashville, can you eat fantastic food from some of the best chefs around the country while listening to a live music curated by Kings of Leon. I’ll let you in on a little secret; there are so many “special guests” that get pulled up on stage to perform that you won’t leave disappointed. There’s a reason Nashville is called Music City.

In addition to this year’s incredible Sunday lineup, They have added Pappy Hour to the schedule. This event will feature an exclusive tasting with Preston Van Winkle from Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. Bourbon lovers, this is one event that you won’t want to miss!

If you are unsure whether your waistline cannot commit to that much eating, you can always opt for a day pass for $150.00, while the serious eaters can get an all-in pass for $500.00. Get your tickets today as this is one event you don’t want to miss!

Here are a few teasers from the kick-off at Bastion. Thanks for hosting us!

Catherine Courtney

Nashville is not limited to honky tonks, hipsters and hot chicken. My name is Catherine Courtney and I am Nashville native here to highlight the culinary delights that my hometown has to offer. When I was a little girl, dining out options were limited. Chain restaurants like Captain D’s, Shoney’s and Waffle House (although I do love a good grilled cheese from WH) were the only things my hometown had to offer. Growing up, my family had traditional dinners or “suppers” as we sometimes call them in the south. Most of you all know them as the standard meat and three. And yes- mac and cheese counts as a vegetable in the south. Any time my mom would venture outside the box and try something new, I would whine and say “tell me you aren’t experimenting on me again?” Needless to say, my palate and my outlook on food has evolved. In the last 15 years, I’ve discovered that food and travel are the embers that keep my soul on fire. Both have allowed me to become more mindful and adventurous. I am obsessed with finding the best craft beer and the most unique and creative food a place has to offer, regardless of where it is. Time is our greatest commodity. Why spend it eating mediocre food? It is my hope to share Nashville’s culinary evolution as well as my epicurean adventures throughout the world.
