Wellington Bacon & Bourbon Festival
Community Center & Amphitheater, 12100 Forest Hill Blvd. Wellington, FL 33414
A Culinary Journey with a Pig and a Barrel
Everything is better with bacon! And when paired with an eclectic array of over 40 American bourbons and whiskeys for your tasting pleasure, then add in FREE admission, well . . . what’s not to like?
“Pig-out” on a wide-ranging menu developed by local chefs exploring the boundaries of bacon and pork related dishes from the inspired, just like the comfort food Mom used to make, to the somewhat insane and unusual of bacon ice cream. Bring this together with the flavors of well-aged bourbon and you have a match made in heaven. But just in case you can’t be tempted to partake of bourbon, Irish whiskey, rye, icy cold beer and a sampling for wine will be at the ready.
Eat, Drink & Be Merry
The Wellington Bacon & Bourbon Fest isn’t just about fabulous food and delightful drink. It’s more like an intimate backyard BBQ with plenty of backyard games, Jenga, checkers and even infamous pig races. Learn about the distiller’s art with tastings and seminars, sample amazing pork, farm-to-table dishes and dance to live music guaranteed to “rock your bacon”.
