<p>The <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/review-kings-dominion-taste-virginia-goes-roots/">2017 Taste of Virginia</a> food festival was a new format from the previous Spring Bloom event held in 2015 and 2016. The 2018 Kings Dominion Taste of Virginia is being held Fridays through Sundays May 4-20.</p>
<p>While last years event was done without a Kings Dominion Executive Chef at the helm, chefs from both Carowinds and Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm stepped up to create a specialty menu that really tied in all of the various flavors from the region. This year, Chef Tiffanie Facey has crafted her own personal menu that we are really excited to try! </p>
<p>Previous events at Kings Dominion were done with a token system. New for 2018, Taste of Virginia will implement a new Tasting Card for both food and wine. </p>
<p>For $25, guests can purchase a food Tasting Card allowing you to choose 6 menu items from around the event. Also available is a Wine Garden Tasting Card, for $25, that gets you 6 wines or a flight of four specialty cocktails. New for 2018, a special Food &#038; Wine Combo of both tasting cards is $45.</p>
<p>The following drink menu is available.</p>
<p>Wine- $8.99<br />
Beer- $8.99<br />
Specialty Cocktails- $9.99</p>
<p>&#8211; Kings Dominion Strawberry Lemonade (Habanero Honey Moonshine, Lemonade, Ginger Ale, Strawberries)</p>
<p>&#8211; Grapple Grove Punch (Dark Rum, Grape Juice, Apple Cider, Lemon Juice, Sprite, Grapes)</p>
<p>&#8211; Peach Whisk Tea (Whiskey, Sweet Tea, Peach Juice, Peaches)</p>
