Preview Week 2024 —
With 2024 kicking off a new era for Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival, we only thought it necessary (and fun) to tease the new programming and what’s to come in 2024 and beyond with an official Preview Week! This is a week of events happening around Fredericksburg showcasing the area’s culinary and beverage innovation and elevated experiences. From food and wine pairings, a boozy brunch, family-friendly foodie passport, progressive tastings, culinary competitions and so much more, we’ve got something for everyone!
