With the city surrounded by the breathtaking
Nantahala National Forest, visitors of Highlands Food and Wine Festival will be
able to enjoy tunes while experiencing the premier culinary destination of the
Southeast this fall. New signature events, along special wine dinners offered
by Highlands’ award- winning restaurants, will create a great weekend
experience. Tickets for the Festival are on sale now.
Headlining musical talent will include Bruce Hornsby at
the recently announced exclusive dining event, “Rockwood Rocks!,” held at the
private estate, Rockwood Lodge, where Hornsby will perform a medley of his
well-known classical and jazz hits. Rockwood Rocks will be an intimate dining
experience curated by renowned chefs from across the Southeast in addition to
local talent Chris Huerta, executive chef of Madison’s at the Old Edwards Inn
& Spa. A portion of this event’s
proceeds will benefit The Food Pantry of Highlands, which provides food and
personal items to local families in need.
Also new to this year’s festival is a Sunday Gospel
Brunch at which five-time Grammy award-winning gospel group Blind Boys of Alabama will
perform. A team of praised regional and local chefs will prepare comforting
brunch-inspired tastes while guests enjoy the live gospel performance and
morning cocktails.
Rhiannon
Giddens of Grammy-award winning
group Carolina Chocolate Drops is set to perform at this year’s Main Event on
Saturday, November 13. The Main Event, held in a picturesque location right off
of Main St, will include an oyster roast, local beer and tastings from local
and regional chefs.
In addition, Brooklyn-based American
musical group The Lone
Bellow will perform at the Friday Truckin’ event, featuring a
selection of the Southeast’s most beloved food trucks including Canyon Kitchen,
Root Down and Farm to Fender.
“We are thrilled to launch the new programming for
this year’s festival, and look forward to what its offering brings to our
community,” said Highlands Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bob Kieltyka.
“These musical acts are the first of many new and exciting additions to this
year’s culinary weekend, that has been, and continues to be, anchored by the
incredible local restaurants and chefs we are lucky to call our own.”
The complete festival schedule and chef line-up
will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned for upcoming updates through the
