After a five-year hiatus, one of the Rocket City’s most beloved culinary events is back — and better than ever. The 46th Annual Taste of Huntsville returns this fall with a reimagined format, an iconic new venue, and a renewed mission to support the local hospitality industry! Proudly presented for the first time by Redstone Federal Credit Union.
Hosted by the Huntsville-Madison County Hospitality Association (HMCHA), Taste of Huntsville Reimagined will take guests on a scenic stroll through the trails of the Huntsville Botanical Garden, where top local restaurants, caterers, and beverage vendors will serve up creative small bites and sips in a beautiful open-air setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
•A Garden Stroll: Wander through the lush trails of the Huntsville Botanical Garden on a Fall evening as you sample delicious bites from dozens of local favorites.
•A Sparkling Welcome: Your evening begins with our complimentary signature welcome cocktail — the Pineapple Prelude, a refreshing pineapple spritzer served upon arrival (and available for purchase cash bars along the trail).
•Unlimited Tastings: General admission includes unlimited tastes from participating vendors, from savory to sweet, traditional to trendsetting.
•Cheers to Hospitality Upgrade: Elevate your experience with this $25 add-on, featuring an exclusive bourbon and wine pairing curated to complement select dishes. Proceeds benefit the HMCHA Scholarship Fund, supporting the next generation of hospitality leaders.
•Live Music Along the Trail: Enjoy elegant, acoustic sounds from local musicians strategically placed throughout the Garden to set the vibe and enhance the atmosphere.
•Cash Bars Benefitting the Garden: Sip and support! Cash bars will be located along the route, serving wine, beer, and signature cocktails — all operated by and benefitting the Huntsville Botanical Garden.
TICKETS:
•General Admission: $75
•Cheers To Hospitality Upgrade: $100 (includes General Admission, plus an exclusive bourbon & wine pairing; the $25 upgrade goes to the HMCHA Hospitality Scholarship Fund)
