Solomons, MD, April 3, 2023: Join No Thyme to Cook (NTTC) on Saturday, May 6, 2022, for its third annual Wine Festival. Enjoy samples of wines from near and far, plus taste delicious foods and shop wine-related wares, all while listening to live music. The festival runs from 11 am to 7 pm. Timed tickets for entry can be purchased at https://www.nothymetocook.com/specials-events. Every guest will receive an engraved wine glass to commemorate the day.
“We are excited to bring our Wine Fest back to Solomons for a third straight year,” Chef Gwyn Novak, founder and President of NTTC, says. Because a complete culinary experience includes beverages as well as food, she is proud that the wines available during this event will elevate the palette and enhance enjoyment of all cuisines. Novak adds, “New this year is a Premium Experience, which includes a private tented area with seating, special wine pourings, a charcuterie board, additional tasting tickets, and discounts with select vendors. It promises to be a great time!” Because this year’s event coincides with the coronation of King Charles III, Novak expects more than a few glasses will be raised to honor the new monarch.

Food will be provided by Blue Wind Gourmet food truck (bwgfoodtruck.square.site), breads and cheeses from Lyon Bakery (lyonbakery.com), plus olive oils and balsamic vinegars from Oakmont Olive Oil Company (oakmontoliveoilcompany.com).
