What Happened at The 2017 Terroir Rural Retreat

Now that we’ve recovered from the epic feast that was the 2017 Terroir Rural Retreat at Adamo Estate Winery, we thought we’d share the highlight reel.

Last week marked the 11th anniversary of the Terroir Symposium�where people who work in the food industry gather to speak and learn about innovative issues and trends in hospitality.

This year, 12 Feast On chefs gathered at Adamo Estate Winery in Headwaters to cook over open fires for a crowd of over 200 hungry speakers, sponsors and media from the Symposium. Here’s what went down!
