Transport yourself to beautiful vineyards, sip on the smoothest spirits, and indulge in delicious cuisine when the 3rd annual Skopelos Wine, Spirit & Food Festival presents Flavors From Around the World.
On July 28th, the doors to the Skopelos Grand Ballroom will welcome you to explore the tastes of over 125 top wines and the smoothest spirits from around the world, all while learning about them from the experts. From Chilean white wines to Australian reds; exceptional spirits including whiskey, gin, rum, vodka, tequila, and more; a Sake Corner, Bubbles Bar, Rosé Garden, and Florida Spirits, this festival was planned with the ultimate wine & spirit lover in mind.
No festival would be complete without food so the award-winning Chefs from Skopelos will have stations set up throughout the ballroom with gourmet national and international culinary bites, including fresh seafood, meats, cheeses, vegan cuisine, gluten free bites, and desserts.
Live jazz will set the mood and complimentary raffles will complete the scene as numerous local businesses give out prizes throughout the afternoon.
