With harvest now behind us, we are excited to be a part of the and Buyers Expo this week. We are offering FABx attendees an exclusive, locally sourced wine and food pairing opportunity on Thursday evening from 4:30-6 during the Bites and Sights portion of the expo. This special experience will include the small bite and wine pairing as well as a brief tour of the winery, followed by a unique opportunity to enjoy a private barrel tasting.

The cost for this event is $20 per person, and space is limited. To secure your spot, we recommend arriving early, as participation will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to limited parking, we encourage carpooling where possible.

Additionally, all Basin Food and Buyers Expo attendees who make a purchase at our event on Thursday will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous gift basket, with the winner announced at the public market on Saturday.

We look forward to celebrating the hardworking farmers, food and beverage producers, and talented chefs of this region with you this week!
