Terra meaning “of the earth” and Vita meaning “life,” captures in its definition the very spirit of this event. Last year, TerraVITA Food & Wine Event brought together some of the finest biodynamic and organically-grown wines and microbrews in the world with some of the very best North Carolina chefs, known and celebrated for their outstanding reputations and chosen for their devotion and allegiance to locally-grown organic ingredients!

This year, expect the experience to rise a notch!  With TerraVITA 2011, we are adding the Sustainable Classroom - a new optional component that will offer an all-day experience that will stimulate your senses in every way!  If you choose to attend both the Sustainable Classroom and the Grand Tasting on the Green, you will begin your morning at 9:30 am with local pastries, organic coffee and tea - and jumpstart your classroom experience with your first of four 35-minute sessions (pre-selected by you).  Led by respected experts, the classroom tracks offered will be in one of four categories: wine, food, farm & garden, or sustainable culture.  You can focus your programming by attending all the tracks in one category or mix and match according to your specific interests.  Once you have attended your four sessions, you will get first dibs (early admittance) at the Grand Tasting on the Green, officially beginning at 1 pm.

If you choose only to attend The Grand Tasting on the Green, expect an afternoon of tastings from dozens of international fine wine producers and select microbrewers, chefs from North Carolina’s top restaurants, confectioners, cheese-makers and food artisans that have prepared culinary treats using seasonal and organic fare! 

Stimulating to all the senses, the full-day affair will offer an intellectual broadening with an amazing party to top off the afternoon!  Limited tickets available for both.
