2nd Annual West Alabama Food & Wine Festival Returns On May 8th

Tickets are now available for the second annual West Alabama Food and Wine Festival, which will be held Thursday, May 8, 2014, at the Cypress Inn Pavilion.

The event will highlight local food and drinks while supporting the American Red Cross of West Alabama. It's a great opportunity to for attendees to sample signature cuisine of West Alabama restaurants and spirits made here in the area and beyond.

Peter Schmidt, Hotel Capstone director of food and beverage, who spearheaded the development of the festival said,

We are excited to bring back the festival for a second year. We got great feedback about last year’s event and will have even more restaurants for guests to try. Where else in Tuscaloosa can you sample specialties from multiple area restaurants, taste local beer, and try new wines all in one evening?
