Three Days of Slow Food in Denver
For three days in July downtown Denver, Colorado, will host the first Slow Food Nations gathering in the United States. Farmers, chefs, educators and foodies will meet July 14, 15 and 16, 2017, for a weekend of tastings, tours, talks, culinary workshops, seminars, dine-around dinners, informal eating and drinking and a grand tasting hall.
Under the banner of Slow Food Nations, Slow Beer, Slow Fish, Slow Meat, Slow Grain, Slow Wine, Slow Gardens, Slow Money and other Slow Nations will organize product-specific seminars, tastings, and culinary workshops for both experts and novices. Denver’s cellars, warehouses, and restaurants will become spaces for food enthusiasts, chefs and industry experts to interact with each other and taste new flavors.
The Big Eat, showcasing some of Denver’s independent restaurants in an outdoor setting at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. July 13, 2017, as a prelude to Slow Food Nations. The Big Eat will feature bites and sips from 75 eateries.
