Sampling Beyond the Booth 🍽️ Winter FancyFaire* Expanded Experiences

At #WinterFancyFaire* 2026 in San Diego, product discovery continued across the city, from the three-day Campus Tasting Trail bringing exhibitor products to local restaurants and shops to the Buyer Welcome Reception to the community-driven Culture in Common. Through the Campus Tasting Trail, exhibitors could apply to showcase and sample their products at restaurants and retail locations throughout San Diego—creating new opportunities to connect with both buyers and the public beyond the show floor. Buyer events and community gatherings like the Buyer Welcome Reception and Culture in Common further brought the specialty food community together across the city. Expanded Experiences will return at Winter FancyFaire* 2027 in San Francisco—we hope to see you there: https://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-shows/winter-fancyfaire/
