USA TODAY Paradise Coast Wine and Food Experience

Okay, Okay, Okay.

Usually, it takes me a good month or two to organize a blog and get my thoughts to be publicly presented to you guys but today I’m winging it because this event was AWESOME and you need to know about it!

First and foremost, let me give you some background on my food festival experience. Because I’ve been to a couple of these shindigs before I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. This had to be one of the best food and wine experiences I’ve ever been to! And I promise I’m not just saying that. The fact that I live in the SWLF area and all the restaurants that partook in the event were located in Naples made it that much better! It was so exciting to get to try 30+ dishes from restaurants I can visit any time. The wine was provided from local vendors, RUMS of Puerto Rico was here, and bottled WATER was everywhere! I mention water because some food&alcohol festivals neglect to keep you hydrated. Oh and I forgot to mention, Marth Stewart was casually there just cooking live on center stage. NBD. All in all, this was a great experience and I seriously can’t wait for next year! I encourage you to check out @usatodaywinefood for their upcoming events, you won’t want to miss it!
