FOOD FOR THOUGHT DENVER

Denver

News: Following a one-year hiatus precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cherry Creek Food & Wine returns with a revamped format and many special touches.

Presented by Cambiar Investors as a fundraiser for Food for Thought Denver, the food and wine extravaganza moves from a one-evening walkabout supper to what organizers say is a “Four-day, dining dream” that gets underway Wednesday with a five-course Latin wine dinner at Toro, a Richard Sandoval restaurant at 150 Clayton Lane.

It culminates with a Grand Tasting on Aug. 14, when 15-plus restaurants will set up on Fillmore Plaza to serve some of their most popular small bites. In addition, there will be 50 wines for a sampling curated by The Vineyard Wine Shop.

Many of the events are already sold out, but some of those with open spots are: Margaritas 101 at Sol Mexican Cocina, 200 Columbine St., on Aug. 13; Dinner on the Plaza on Aug. 13 and Chef & Shucking on Aug. 14 at Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood, 2625 E. 2nd Ave.
