The 8th Annual Plano Food + Wine Festival returns to Legacy West on Saturday, November 1, from 12 PM to 6 PM, promising an unforgettable afternoon of flavor, fun, and discovery. This beloved North Texas tradition draws thousands of food lovers and wine enthusiasts each year for a vibrant day of tastings, entertainment, and community spirit.

Foodies won’t want to miss the Food Tasting Pass, which unlocks access to sample bites from 15 of the area’s top restaurants between 12 PM and 4 PM. Each chef brings their best to the table, competing for the coveted People’s Choice Award. Expect standout dishes from crowd favorites like Toulouse Café & Bar, KĀI, Lombardi Cucina Italiana, Taverna, Haywire, Shake Shack, Moxies, Wild Fork Foods, Son of a Butcher, Uchiko, Truluck’s, Ford’s Garage, True Food Kitchen, Amorino Gelato, and Renaissance Hotel, with even more to be announced.

Wine lovers can sip their way through the afternoon with the Wine Tasting Pass, featuring 20 one-ounce pours from more than 100 exceptional wines. Tastings run from 12 PM to 6 PM, with plenty of opportunities to discover new favorites. If you prefer spirits, premium samplings from brands like Western Son Distillery, Pinhook Bourbon, BeatBox Beverages, and Round 2 Spirits will also be available.

To round out the day, the festival will host the Lombardi Family Concepts Culinary Demonstrations, dozens of local vendors, and plenty of photo-worthy moments and interactive sponsor activations scattered throughout the venue.

Ticket options range from VIP ($125) — which includes food and wine tastings plus exclusive perks — to the Food + Wine Tasting Pass ($80), Wine Tasting Only ($45), and Food Tasting Only ($55). Tickets tend to sell out quickly, so early purchase is highly encouraged.
