Food & Wine
Festivals where eating and drinking are the event itself, not the interval.
Choosing within Food & Wine
That changes how you plan. Seating, tents and tastings are the constrained resource rather than the accommodation, and the good ones are reserved well in advance by people who go every year. Going on a weekday, or in the first days rather than the last, is usually the difference between joining something and queueing outside it.
These also travel badly as day trips. The eating is unhurried by design, and the drink makes driving a poor idea, so a night nearby is part of the plan rather than a luxury.
Food & Wine
Every festival has food. These are the ones where the food is the point — where the thing being celebrated is a harvest, a brewing tradition or a season of cooking, and the programme is built around tables rather than around a procession you watch from behind a barrier.
