The Market of Taste will showcase products that personify the Slow Food mantra – that they are “good, clean, fair,” that they taste good, that they are grown and/or produced cleanly, that the farmer is paid fairly and that they are indicative of our region. Stroll this “street market,” tasting and purchasing quality foods and products of our region.The event will bring together artisan producers and wineries to create an impressive marketplace for the consumer.
