Covington Business Association is proud to announce the
Fourth Annual “A Taste of Covington” happening April 9th through April
12th in Covington, Louisiana. A Taste of Covington celebrates its fourth
annual food and wine event in and around downtown Covington and the
historic district. Chairman Cliff Bergeron created this family event to
showcase downtown Covington’s restaurants and shops. The four-day event
boasts numerous activities for local residents’ food & wine
experiences. Organizers so far are pleased with the response to the
fourth annual event which they predict will be even bigger than the
sold-out 2014 event.
Thursday begins the event with the Vintner’s Dinner, a four-course meal with expert wine pairings at top local restaurants. The participating restaurants include Annadelle’s Plantation, Dakota Restaurant,
Del Porto Ristorante, English Tea Room & Eatery,
Gallagher’s Grill, Mac’s on Boston Street, Pardo’s, Ox Lot 9 and Seiler
Bar.
The Grand Tasting takes place on Friday, April 10th under two tents at Acquistapace’s Wine Warehouse. Here you can enjoy approximately 75 different wines, along with dozens of cheeses. The tents can accommodate up to 400 people and will adjoin the wine warehouse where wine will be displayed. There will also be room for more activities.
The Festa Del Vino Wine Tasting, presented by the Town of Covington’s Mayor Mike Cooper, will be at the Southern Hotel in the Historic District of Covington, Saturday afternoon, April 11th. The featured wines will be premium wines donated by some sponsors of the event with exclusive attendance for only 100 connoisseurs to this high-end tasting. Most of these wines are not found on the shelves in the local St. Tammany Parish stores.
On Saturday evening, April 11th, St. Tammany Art Association’s “Spring for Art” fills downtown with art, live music, food, shopping, a fashion show and more. Chairman Cliff Bergeron explains, “In each block of Columbia Street there’s going to be a loosely formed group of amateur chefs. It’s called
the ‘Ancient Order of Southern Gourmets.’ These
Chefs will sell food samples to passersby as they make their way from
one shop to the next during this evening of art and entertainment in
downtown.”
“A Taste of Covington” wraps up April 12th with Sunday’s Champagne Jazz Brunch at Ox Lot 9. The fine dining experience will be created by Chef Jeffrey Hansel and accompanied with live entertainment from Steppin’ Up.
This year’s presenting sponsor is the Southern Hotel, while wine sponsors are Champagne Beverage Company, D&E Fine Wine Group and Acquistapace’s Supermarket. Grand sponsors are The French Mix and First Castle Credit Union, Festa Del Wino sponsor is Covington Mayor Mike Cooper, and five star sponsor is the City of Covington. Volkswagen of Mandeville will provide grand cars as the grand tasting sponsor; Music, food and spirits sponsors are Rosemary’s Closet, Stone Title and Mountain Valley Sparkling Water; and media sponsors are The Slidell Independent, Tammany West, New Directives, Covington Digital, WWNO, High 5 Studio, The New Orleans Advocate, Lake 94.7, the St. Tammany Farmer and Country Roads. A part of the proceeds from A Taste of Covington are donated to the St. Tammany Art Association.
