valued sponsor brands. From our Grand Tasting experience to
our partnership with Martha Stewart, we are bringing forward
terrific wine and food experts to create memorable experiences for

Stewart makes special guest appearances in New York, Las Vegas,
Chicago and Los Angeles. Similar to 2017, Stewart will present
cooking demonstrations, meet guests, sign books and more. In nine
of the 12 cities on the tour, The Martha Stewart Experience is an
important part of the day’s festivities and serves as the event
entry gateway, a transformative tented space with the lifestyle
leader’s books, kitchen gear, tabletop vignettes and more,
presented in an engaging, highly branded style for guests to
explore and discover.
Renowned chefs such as Bravo TV’s Top Chef star, Graham Elliot,
and Food Network TV’s Chopped regular, Scott Conant, among others,
will also be special guest chefs during the 2018 Wine & Food
Experience tour.
Wine & Food Experience is unique because of its links to the
robust local-to-national reach of USA TODAY NETWORK’s more than 120
million unique monthly consumers.
A national Wine & Food Experience promotional campaign kicks
off in April across the country.
Central to each Wine & Food Experience is the Grand Tasting,
a vast food and drink tasting experience with chefs, gourmet
personalities and restaurateurs in highly branded booth settings
where guests can get up close and personal with culinary
personalities while sipping wine, craft beer and spirits and
enjoying special recipes. Grand Tasting experiences also include
cooking demonstrations, tasting seminars and celebrity special
guest chefs Martha Stewart, Graham Elliot and others to be
announced.
R Entertainment of Scottsdale, Ariz., which co-developed and
produced Scottsdale-based azcentral Wine & Food Experience with
azcentral beginning in 2015, produces the series in conjunction
