Savour Stratford Tasting

The Savour Stratford Tasting is the centerpiece of the festive weekend. Set under marquee tents along the Avon River, guests will enjoy our culinary garden party and dine on over 30 local delicacies crafted by over 30 acclaimed chefs and their partnered farmer, watered with Ontario VQA vintages and craft brews accompanied by a range of jazz and contemporary music.
