Harwood Hospitality is launching a new food and wine festival in Dallas this month with free-flowing food and beverages


Chefs for Farmers is a few months away, but the folks behind the Harwood District aren’t waiting to strut their culinary bonafides.

On Friday, April 28, the downtown collection hosts Harwood Food & Wine Festival, which they’re billing as “a journey through the tastes of the Harwood District through wine, food and more in the beautiful Marie Gabrielle Gardens.”

The event will feature bites and drinks from Harwood’s 11 culinary concepts, including Elephant East, Dolce Riviera, Saint Ann, Poco Fiasco, Harwood Arms, Happiest Hour, Te Deseo, and Mercat Bistro.

Champagne, Rosé, Italian & French wines will flow from the open bars. A wine seminar and blind tasting led by master sommelier Barbara Werley will take place at the Dolce Riviera booth at 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm.

General admission tickets are $125 and VIP tickets are $150 (buy them here).
