Fourth Annual Savour food & wine Festival has Something for Everyone

February 1, 2007 marks the beginning of the Savour food & wine Festival - a month-long celebration of Nova Scotia's culinary creations and amazing libations .

Savour, the biggest food and wine festival east of Montreal, presents 22 events across the province, the first ever Dine Out Nova Scotia program as well as the main Savour Show featuring over 60 booths of taste sensations.

From special Valentine's dinners to whiskey nosing and jazz brunches, February promises to be an exciting month for food and wine enthusiasts.

"This year the Dine Out program adds a new element to Savour. Over 40 restaurants across the province are offering $30-$45 fixed price menus from February 19-28," explains Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia (RANS) president Joe McGuinness. "Dine Out gives consumers a chance to experiment with new restaurants or visit their favorite establishments for great prices…I know I'll be quite busy this month."

Savour food & wine Festival climaxes on March 1 with the Savour food & wine Show from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at The Westin Nova Scotian Hotel. Over 60 booths will showcase the best of Nova Scotia's chefs and sommeliers. Tickets are $69 tax included. The Westin is offering a special rate of $179 for two Savour tickets and overnight accommodation. Call 1-877-993-7846 or 902-496-8585 for reservations.

Gordon Stewart, executive director of RANS encourages everyone to, "Get out of the house and beat the winter blues by tasting your way though Savour food & wine month. Try some cooking lessons or improve your wine appreciation skills. Let your senses guide you…indulge…enjoy the culinary and beverage experiences that Savour offers."
