Tour De Fork = Eat, Drink, Yummy
Victoria Gardens located in Rancho Cucamonga will be hosting the 2nd annual “Tour De Fork” event on Thursday, June 26 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm on South Mainstreet. A special culinary event, Tour De Fork provides guests the opportunity to sample dishes and drinks from dining destinations within the Victoria Gardens shopping center and throughout the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
I had the yum yum nummy pleasure of attending last years inaugural Tour De Fork event and I will be attending this year as well, all opinions are my own. I seriously cannot wait to go again this year if only to completely bust off the button on my pants.
Hello Mr. Beer Pourer Man…
Let’s Get Our Tasting On
The Tour De Fork event is a unique opportunity to devour…er… I mean taste what local restaurants, breweries and wineries have to offer all in one place. Live music sets the mood for a fun filled foodie evening while you get to try foods from restaurants you’ve heard about but haven’t quite had the opportunity to have yet. Last year is when I fell in love with what N7 Creamery is creating and of course what Hangar 24 is brewing (because hello momma loves beer). This year my wonderful husband will be accompanying me to the Tour De Fork event and I cannot wait to get a dude perspective.
