West Alabama Food and Wine Festival

West Alabama Food and Wine Festival

April 19th, 20264 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Northport

For more than a decade, the West Alabama Food & Wine Festival has celebrated the region’s growing culinary scene by bringing together local chefs, restaurateurs, and food and wine enthusiasts for an unforgettable evening of Southern flavors. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of food tastings from some of West Alabama’s favorite restaurants, along with curated wine, beer, and spirits selections. The festival highlights the creativity and talent within our local dining community while offering a lively, welcoming atmosphere for attendees to explore new flavors and connect with friends. Beyond the tastings, the event serves a meaningful purpose, benefiting two impactful nonprofit organizations: the Humane Society of West Alabama, which works to find loving homes for animals in need, and Table of Grace, a client-choice food pantry dedicated to addressing food insecurity with dignity and care. The festival blends exceptional cuisine, community spirit, and philanthropy into one signature West Alabama event.
