Beaufort Wine & Food implements new methods to reduce waste

BEAUFORT, N.C. (WITN) - Beaufort Wine and Food is coming up later this month with tons of events for folks to enjoy.

The festival kicks off on Thursday, April 27 with a variety of wine dinners and continues through brunch at 11 a.m. the following Sunday.

Tickets for some events are sold out, but there are still plenty of opportunities to plan a trip for that weekend. Ticket information is available on their website.

Director Brittany Pittman is working with other organizers to implement ways to reduce waste including digital tickets, a digital map and a digital wine shop.

Pittman says those efforts will save thousands of sheets of paper. She spoke with WITN’s Courtney Bunting on ENC at Three Wednesday to explain details.

A new feature this year includes the Green Room Lounge at Vin de Mer. The Kind Thieves will play there from 4-6 p.m. on April 29.

Visitors can also enjoy the Midday Mingle on Friday, April 28 at noon which will feature Chef Preeti Waas who will prepare Indian cuisine.
