Arguably one of Central Florida’s best food and wine tasting events, Cows ‘n Cabs returns to Winter Park for its 5th year on Saturday, October 24. A charity-based affair curated by ABC Fine Wine & Spirits’ David Larue and Chef John Rivers of 4 Rivers Smokehouse, the event is held under a gargantuan tent in Winter Park’s West Meadow at 150 North New York Avenue and invites attendees to don their best cowboy duds as they sip and sample fare from some of Orlando's best chefs and wine/beer vendors.
Hay bales, corn husks and a live country band set the tone of this outdoor, Western-themed festival designed to showcase a selection of 20 invite-only restaurants through unlimited tastes of their best dishes. Anheuser-Busch, Southern Wine & Spirits and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits will contribute to the evening with more than 200 wines, spirits and craft beers samplings.
