Save to Favorites

Calling all food and wine enthusiasts!

WGBH is excited to host the sixth season of the Taste of WGBH Food & Wine Festival October 5 - 8, 2017. We are again collaborating with the best chefs, producers, wineries and breweries to deliver the finest food and wine in the region. The four-day festival will give guests premier access to enjoy delicious food trends, educational seminars offering insight into the minds of chefs, live music from some of today’s best artists, and the most refreshing adult beverages from around the globe. We’ve even moved this carefully curated festival to the Columbus Day Weekend to allow guests and volunteers more opportunities to join us.

We need your help to ensure this year’s festival is even bigger and better than last year’s. Volunteer positions range from set-up crew, on-site event assistants and breakdown crew...this will be an amazing opportunity to get on-site events/festival experience and help produce one of Boston's most fun food festivals!
