Wine & Food Week is set to hold a series of four events throughout The Woodlands later this year after the 16th annual tasting event week was postponed in May.
The limited event schedule, beginning in August and running into October, will feature an array of new safety precautions in response to COVID-19. Such measures include capacity limits and expanded event layouts, drive-thru event check-in and staff screenings. A full list of event safety guidelines may be viewed here.
“We take safety very seriously as evidenced by our 20-page safety protocol manual implemented at all events. Like dining at a restaurant, we know that social distancing and socializing can safely occupy the same space and that attendees will continue to have new wine discoveries and experiences,” founder Constance McDerby said in a statement.
Wine & Food Week's 2020 schedule will kick off Aug. 21 with the Platinum Wine Vault Collectors Tasting at Bayway Cadillac of The Woodlands, featuring dozens global wines alongside food from local restaurants. That event will be followed one month later by the Ladies of the Vine wine tasting and panel discussion featuring women winemakers and experts. The luncheon will be held Sept. 25 at The Club at Carlton Woods' main clubhouse.
