A Brand New Showcase of Wine and Food in Historic Plymouth

Plymouth offers visitors an unmatched example of early American history. It’s a destination with a convenient location between Boston and Cape Cod on the Massachusetts coast. The city has something for every traveler from historically significant landmarks like a Mayflower ship replica to large-scale community festivals and events.

 

The South Shore Wine & Food Expo is entering its first year and is ready to make an impression on the Massachusetts event community. Planners expect roughly 1,200 people in attendance for each session of the event. The event will feature hundreds of wines from some of the country’s leading wineries. Patrons will also have the opportunity to sample a variety of different foods from some of the top culinary minds in the New England area. The Expo is held at the historic Plymouth Memorial Hall, which adds an extra layer of living history to the event. ResortsandLdoges.com got the chance to interview Steven Hall, the Founder and President of HopHead Events, to talk about this unique event.
