About the LA Epicurean Festival:
The Los Angeles Epicurean Festival brings together culinary specialties and extraordinary wines and spirits, under one roof in a casual setting. Each year, a new selection of exhibitors, are hand picked in order to keep attendees abreast of new ideas in the market place. Attendees will be able to pair and compare, taste and take home their favorite selections. Live entertainment, mixology and food demonstrations will be offered; our oenologists will explain how to taste and recognize great wines. Join us and discover over 500 boutique wines and spirits, cheeses, spices, coffee & teas, charcuterie, olive oils, mushrooms, organic chocolate, meat, fowl, fish and produce and much more. This year's event will be held on Sunday August 26, 2012, at the Vibiana, a historic landmark in downtown LA.
