Why: For the 20th Anniversary, the Boston Wine Festival will continue to offer guests exclusive dinners hosted by some of the world's most renowned winemakers, each personally invited by Chef Bruce. To commemorate this benchmark season, each winery will feature either a 1990 vintage or their inception year wine. Chef Bruce pays homage to the past 19 years of the festival by offering guests the opportunity to enjoy a select few of the 3,000 never repeated dishes as he recreates them for this special occasion.

Seminars and dinners hosted by the winemaker or proprietor are sure to include their cellar bests, showcasing many older vintages, barrel samples and wines that are only available at the winery - giving guests an opportunity to be part of a truly once in a life time experience. Themed dinners, many of which are festival favorites, continue this year with special vintages showcased.
