Bank of America has agreed to become the Presenting Sponsor of the rebooted 2014 MidAtlantic Wine + Food Festival.
More than three dozen food, wine, beer and spirits events will take place from May 14–18, 2014 in all three of the state’s counties. The goal of the event is to build tourism, aid culinary education and support arts organizations in the state.
Also joining B of A were Mastercard and American Express.
Tickets for all 42 events will go on sale to the general public on November 11 at 11:11 a.m.
Chip Rossi, Delaware market president for Bank of America said, “The MidAtlantic Wine and Food Festival serves as an economic driver and has a great deal of growth potential for our area. Not only does it help increase tourism and increase awareness of our cultural assets, but it also provides an unparalleled experience for the high school, college and other culinary students who are being tapped to support the Festival chefs during the course of all 42 events.”
Festival founder and Board President Ajit Mathew George said, “Our purpose is to be the premier food and wine event of the MidAtlantic featuring international vintners and chefs in collaboration with our local talent, to bring tourism to Delaware and to increase awareness of our cultural assets.”
The festival was last held in early March and saw praise for its offerings as well as criticism over the allocations of proceeds to non-profits. Sponsors took pains to explain the goals and strategy of the festival.
