The MidAtlantic Wine + Food Festival is in its third year and has picked Peddler’s Village to host some of its events this year. The festival takes place in seven counties in the mid-atlantic region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) over this weekend.

Bacon, Bourbon, Bubbles – Friday, May 15, 6:30 – 10:30 pm, Buttonwood Grill (Street Road and Route 202), Peddler’s Village, Lahaska, PA
The title alone is enough to make me drool. Four bacon-centric courses, four courses of Bourbon, topped off by sparkling wine. You might want to have a designated driver lined up. Buy your tickets here.
Scrapple + Sparkling Breakfast – Saturday, May 15, 10:30 am – 12 pm, Cock n’ Bull Restaurant, Peddler’s Village, Lahaska, PA
The quintessential mid-atlantic breakfast meat will be given the royal treatment here, dolled up by the festival’s chefs, who have ushered scrapple into the realm of fine dining with variations including buffalo, duck, rattlesnake, goose, antelope and rabbit scrapple, and even a dessert scrapple. Wash it down with sparkling wine from Reichsrat von Buhl. Get tickets here.
Table on the Green – Saturday, May 15, 5:30 – 10:30 pm, Peddler’s Village (in the courtyard), Lahaska, PA
For the first time ever, Peddler’s Village will lay out tables “on the Green,” inviting guests to dine outside in the courtyard in the center of the village. The meal, a collaboration between four chefs, will be five courses, family style, made with freshly farmed ingredients and paired with 10 wines. Winemakers will also be on hand to present and discuss their wines. In the event of rain, the dinner has an alternative indoor location lined up. Buy your tickets right away.
