Children are permitted. Children age 12 and under are admitted for free. Please keep in mind this is an adult-focused event with wine/beer/spirits tasting and very little to interest a child. Buildings can get crowded and be very difficult for a stroller or small child to walk through at peak times.

Food is not included in admission tickets. Many of the gourmet specialty food vendors do offer small free samples of their products so you can taste before you buy. For meals, we have a fine selection of food trucks and food concessions.
