HEALDSBURG, Calif., Aug. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wine Road, an association of wineries and lodgings in Northern Sonoma County, kicks off their annual event season with the 21^st Annual Wine & Food Affair. The event, featuring two full days of tantalizing food and wine pairings along the Wine Road, takes place November 2^nd and 3^rd from 11am to 4pm each day.

Throughout the weekend, guests will have the opportunity to visit more than 80 participating wineries stretching across Sonoma County's Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys. Each participating winery offers a taste of gourmet cuisine prepared by a local culinary artist paired with the wine of their choice. Recipes from the event and events past can be found on the Wine Road's online cookbook, so guests can replicate the parings at home.

"Wine and Food Affair is our premier event, and this year we asked our wineries to take their wine and food pairings to the next level," said Beth Costa, Executive Director of Wine Road. "We wanted the event to better showcase the bounty that Sonoma County has to offer, so each winery was required to partner with a local artisan, farmer or producer in some way to create their recipe. We've never asked this of our wineries before, so we're excited to see – and taste - the results of these collaborations."
