The 24th annual food and wine event, Taste of Lake County, will once again pair premium Lake County wines with gourmet food from local purveyors. Taking along the shores of Clear Lake in Library Park in downtown Lakeport on Saturday, August 220, the food and wine tasting runs from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, with a dance following until 10:00 pm. Event tickets are $50 in advance, $60 at the door, and include a souvenir wine glass, 7 wine tasting tickets, 7 food tasting tickets. A $25 ticket is available for food tasting only and includes 10 food tasting tickets. Additional food and wine tickets will be available for purchase.

An expected fifteen wineries will offer tastes from fine wines either produced in Lake County or made from grapes grown in the county. Approximately 15 local restaurateurs and caterers will provide tasty bites. To keep the fun going, live music will play throughout the tasting and we will have "Made In Lake County" Artisans on hand to sell their crafts.. After 8 pm, the party turns into a lively street dance under the stars with music by the Funky Dozen.

Proceeds from The Taste of Lakeport benefit the Lakeport Main Street Association and its work toward the continuing revitalization and renovation of downtown Lakeport.
