On Sunday, May 19, the resort-wide event will feature over 70 local and national food and beverage vendors alongside world-class entertainment
WHAT: Kalahari Resort and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains is hosting its inaugural resort-wide Food & (Not Just) Wine Festival on Sunday, May 19, 2024, from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. The retro-inspired festival will be themed “Peace and Love,” featuring food and drink samples, chef demonstrations, and live entertainment. Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau is sponsoring the event.
At the festival, guests can taste over 30 culinary creations while sampling signature handcrafted cocktails from Kalahari’s on-site restaurants. Additionally, over 50 local and national wine, beer, and spirit brands will be sampling their products. Guests will also enjoy chef demonstrations and unforgettable entertainment, including a live performance from TikTok sensation NGBX Piano. “The Food & (Not Just) Wine Festival is a celebration of Kalahari’s commitment to culinary excellence,” Kalahari Executive Chef Stacy Calles said. “The concept for this festival started at our Round Rock, Texas, resort — and due to its success hosting thousands of guests, we knew we had to expand to our Poconos resort. This event is not to be missed.”
Kalahari Resorts has over a dozen on-site dining options, from grab-and-go options to signature restaurants, including Sortino’s Italian Kitchen, B-Lux Grill & Bar, Double Cut Steak House, and Cinco Niños. All will be showcasing a variety of
favorites, including appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks. In addition, Kalahari’s world-class chefs will be hosting demonstrations from how to make sushi to mixology.
General Admission festival tickets are available for $125 per person. VIP Access tickets include complimentary valet, a meet & greet brunch with Kalahari chefs, priority seating for cooking demonstrations, and behind-the-scenes kitchen
tours, and are available for $175 per person.
Guests can save $20 on up to four tickets using code WINEANDDINE at checkout.
Discounted tickets are also available for groups of ten or more by emailing pafoodandwine@kalahariresorts.com.
