The Virginia Food and Beverage Expo is coming back next spring with a familiar-sounding yet new theme: Timeless Traditions – Trendy Tastes 2014. The culinary show sponsored, by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, will again showcase the wide variety of food and beverage products from all parts of Virginia at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on Wednesday, March 26, 2014. The Expo will take place in Exhibit Hall C.

Admission is free, but the show is open exclusively to the food and beverage trade. No one under age 18 will be admitted.

The expo takes place every other year on even years. Potential participants and buyers may view a video of the 2012 show at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmpOUUFzdZU.
