"The Middleburg resort's famed food and drink festival, held over four days in August, celebrates diversity in the hospitality industry with panel discussions, cooking demonstrations, recreational activities, legendary feasts, and vibrant nightly parties. Chef and restaurateur Kwame Onwuachi, the resort's CEO Sheila Johnson, and Food & Wine editor-in-chief Hunter Lewis have even bigger plans for this year's festival (August 14-17), including legacy dinners and golf excursions; the full schedule will be released in the next few months, and overnight packages and event passes are available on the resort's website." - Emily Venezky
