Tastings & Pairings

Check Out Our Amazing Line-Up of Tastings & Pairings we offered at our 2024 event.

*Separate Tickets Required

Our organizers have lined-up an amazing variety of Tastings & Pairings. Something for Everyone!

The Tastings and Pairings are held on Saturday, September 7th only.

These sessions are designed to provide the participants with the opportunity to experience wonderful 'and unique' pairings of beverages and foods in an intimate setting. While each ingredient is delicious on its own, in combination, magic can happen!

Session leaders are Stratford Kiwanis Garlic Festival vendors who are leaders in their fields. They provide exciting pairing combinations and explain why these pairings 'work'.

These sessions have limited space and last year they were heavily subscribed prior to the event!
