Sunday, September 18 at 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Savor your favorite fall treats as you learn the history and science behind nature’s golden gift: honey! From reviving old drink-making traditions (honey wine) to sweet scones and breads for dipping in honey to surprising new twists in savory dishes, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Guided by food historian Christine Rai, discover honey’s rich history, the magic of honeybees, and the secrets to seasonal pairings.
Attendees will sample many different treats that illustrate how local food artisans are using honey today.
