It’s never too early to start making plans so even though the kick off is some two months away I thought I should take a few minutes to mention the Taste Festivals, 2008 Season.
Here is in their own words what the event is about:
"Imagine a picnic in a park. Now multiply it by thousands of people.
Invite all the best restaurants in the area to contribute the food, and
discerning vintners to bring the bottles. Make sure some of the guests
are famous chefs happy to help out with cooking hints, and organise
live music to eat and drink by. This is a Taste Festival."
Sounds like a great way to spend the day.
Presented by Channel 4, this year’s first event is in Scotland, Edinburgh to be precise (May 29 to June 1st).
It takes place at Meadows Park and the couleur locale will be provided by a whisky tour.
Want to educate yourself on the subject of Single Malts, The Edinburgh Malt Whisky Tour might be a good place to start. They actually offer information in a variety of languages.
The last event of the 2008 season will be in Birmingham (July 10 to 13) at Cannon Hill Park.
If you want to burn some calories after tasting this and that, ride your bike to the event, the park has come bike routes along the River Rea, so nice scenery I guess.
