This sounds like a great event that my husband and I would love.
I’ve been to a food and wine festival and loved it. It was on a much smaller scale then the International WIne & Food Festival so I would definitely love to go to DC and attend.
This sounds cool. Who doesn’t like food and wine? I would also like to see the DC monuments all lit up at night.
WOW! I definetly would love to attend Wine & Food Festival. Also, the DC Lights Tour sounds like it would be pretty cool.
I’m not a big fan of wine of ‘fancy food’ but it does sound neat to see the monuments lit up. Just might try that one out.
Sounds like a great time. I would love to go on some of the tours in the area I relly like learning about the history of the place im at. And the demonstrations just beat everything out. maybe I could learn a thing or two while there
Having never been to DC, these tours would be a great way to take all of the sights in. When I decide to make the trip, I will definitely be keeping these in mind.
A trip to our nation’s capital, complete with fine wine and tasty delicacies? Sounds like the definition of ‘vacation’ to me!
Washington DC was one of the most increabiable places that i have been. Well that and the time i went to Mexico. but when you are in DC you must look at all the monuments while you are there
This sounds like a blast not only do you get to see amazing sights, but you also get to eat amazing food and drink great wine. There can’t be a more amazing weekend.
I love food and wine fesitvals. Does anyone know how I can find out when one is going to be coming to my area? Thanks
I want to go to this festival next year. My brother and sister in-law are going to be living in Washington D.C. so I will get to visit them also.
I love learning about the history behind big cities.. and DC definitely has A LOT of history. Tours are a fun and quick way to take all that in. I definitely would do some tours in DC if I ever went.
My siste-in-law has invited us to stay with her anytime in DC, maybe we can catch next year’s event!
I’ve been to DC, and would love to go back. This would be such a cool thing to do there! I’m not much of a fan of wine, but I do love food!
Looks pretty tasty to me :]
This sounds like a great mother-daughter type trip. My mother loves to relax and enjoy easygoing activities, plus she love CG so what better combination for great girl bonding time!
