Taste of Huntsville Reimagined

One of the Rocket City’s most beloved culinary events is back! The 47th Annual Taste of Huntsville returns this fall with a reimagined format, an iconic venue, and a renewed mission to support the local hospitality industry! Proudly presented for the second 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 GUESTS CAN 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 — Pineapple Prelude, presented by NXTSTEP Family Law. When you leave, don't forget to grab your souvenir wineglass!
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 - featuring Irons One Distillery bourbon and wine from Alabama Crown Distributers - presented by Sysco. 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. Featuring Victoria Greer, Micah Jones, Charles & Tanya Harris, and Josh Taylor - presented by Huntsville Music Office.
