Celebrity Chefs & More

AN INCREDIBLE LINEUP OF CULINARY TALENT

 Joining us this year are renowned Chef Lorena Garcia, Chef Timothy Hollingsworth and local legends Pitmaster Rashad Jones and Executive Pastry Chef Yohann Le Bescond. Also in the lineup of industry experts is WEC’s own Master Sommelier, Roland Micu. Throughout the weekend, these professionals will guide you through a series of tastings, including a wide range of cuisine, as well as beer, wine and spirits education sessions.

GROOVE TO THE MUSIC OF THE
HONEY HOUNDS

Since their debut album "No Sleep" in 2016, the deep pocket power trio has evolved into the funky quartet they are known as today. The hounds are known for their heavy hitting yet soulful rendition of the blues, but their funk, rock and pop influences radiate throughout their catalogue.
