The festival season is upon us in major cities from coast to coast. Taking place from July 19-20, Savour Stratford Perth County Culinary Festival aims to be one of the greatest food and wine, music and cultural festivals to hit Ontario in 2014 to date. Presented by GE Cafe Appliances, this year will aim to bring inspired dishes “using Perth County ingredients, as well as refreshing Mill Street brews, Reif VQA wines, Rosewood Estates Mead, and spirits by Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers.” So let me tell you why you won’t want to miss this festival celebrating the best that Stratford Perth Country has to offer.
Located in the quaint town of Stratford, known most commonly for its international art and theatre festivals, this year’s Savour Stratford Perth County Culinary Festival will be celebrating all its sponsors, participants and supporters in a way that truly genuine. Stratford might just be one of the most beautiful small towns in all of Ontario that I have had the pleasure to visit. With options to go for the day to my Toronto based friends and family, or availability to stay for the two day affair at local accommodations, this is one festival not to miss.
