The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is hosting a Virginia Pavilion at the Winter Fancy Food Show, Jan. 22-24, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
At least a dozen Virginia specialty food companies will exhibit. Almost all are part of VDACS’ Virginia’s Finest®trademark program, which identifies, differentiates and promotes top-quality, Virginia-produced and processed specialty food and beverage products.
The Winter Fancy Food Show is the largest specialty food trade event on the West Coast. Buyers representing grocery stores, restaurants, markets and gift shops rely on this annual trade event to find innovative foods and beverages to freshen up their product mix and fulfill the growing consumer demand for specialty food and beverage products. The Virginia Pavilion will be located in booth spaces 403-412. Virginia foods featured at this year’s show include peanuts and peanut products, chips, chocolates, confections, cookies, cured meats, snacks, frozen vegan entrees and more.
VDACS promotes Virginia’s specialty food products at the Fancy Food Shows, which highlight the world’s most innovative and exciting specialty food and beverages products, as well as the people behind them. The 2017 Winter Fancy Food Show will feature more than 80,000 products, 30,000 food professionals and 1,400 exhibitors.
