THE “FOODIES” came out in their numbers for the third Barbados Food & Wine And Rum Festival, which was officially launched opened at the Beach House last weekend.
The four-day festival is fast becoming a highly anticipated event on the local social calendar, with patrons attracted by the rare opportunity it provides for exposure to the culinary skills of international chefs, as well as the best Barbados has to offer in the culinary field and to the talent of sommeliers and rum aficionados.
Patrons at the Friday night launch mingled with celebrity chefs Marcus Samuelsson, Aaron McCargo Jr, Anne Burrell, Mark McEwan and Barbados’ own Paul Yellin. Nilou Motamed, features director and senior correspondent for Travel + Leisure magazine, was there again reinforcing American Express Publishing’s support for the three-year-old festival staged by the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA).
It was one great evening of partying with the choicest of food, music, wine and rum.
