Appreciated the wide variety of vendors at the event but would have liked the beer and wine vendors to be alternated versus separated to allow more sampling along the way for those who liked just beer or just wine. Could some more tables/chairs be put up to allow for seating during the expo? It is nice to take a break to rest part of the way through. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and enjoyed tasting a variety of items from several places - food, wine, and beer. Thank you!

Liked having the beer and wine in separate rooms, but was ready to go by the time I got to the beer garden.

We had a great time. We do this event every year. There was plenty of wine and beer, could use more food venders. Hy Vee had too much display only.
