Start your dining, drinking and shopping plan of attack with the suggestions below. For a full list of all 65 vendors that will be in attendance, visit the Brandywine Food & Wine website.
Food
Be sure to come hungry, as 20+ local restaurants and artisan food purveyors will be on the scene to satisfy your cravings for sweet, savory, spicy … or all of the above!
