Riverbank Cheese-Wine Festival Marks 49th Year

Food and wine events are drawing attention in several communities. Riverbank’s 49th annual Cheese and Wine Festival featured tastings from local wineries, a classic-car show, food vendors, live music and cultural performances. The Suncoast Food & Wine Fest is scheduled for Nov. 14 at Premier Sports Campus, continuing an event that has generated more than $2.5 million for local nonprofits and Rotary service initiatives. Orlando’s Taste of Baldwin Park is set for Nov. 19, with street closures around the event from 6 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. A separate Soda City Living segment also spotlights the Irmo Food & Wine Festival.
