Win Tickets to the Food and Wine Christmas Show

Posted by: peter in: Competitions | Food Events

food-and-wineThe FOOD&WINE Magazine Christmas show will take place next weekend, November 27 -29 in the RDS, Dublin. The first event of its kind in Ireland, this gastronomic gathering is the perfect way to start the festive season.

I’ll be attending it myself, and I’m looking forward to checking out live demonstrations by some of Ireland’s top chefs including Derry Clarke, Ross Lewis and Dylan McGrath, as well as FREE master classes on topics covering everything from whiskey appreciation to becoming a restaurant critic.

CheapEats has three pairs of tickets to give away. To be in with a chance of winning just answer the following question: What would you like to see included at a Food and Wine Magazine Christmas show? As usual, the winners will be picked at random.

Tickets for this event cost €20, and are available at ticketmaster.ie. Click here for more information.

Irish craft beer - it’s out there and is often very good, so let’s create a demand for it. Not strictly food or wine, but I don’t see why beer shouldn’t be included if wine is…
