Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit the Chaddsford Winery\u2019s \u201cBack to Back\u201d competition among 14 different food trucks, which will be held again this coming weekend from 11AM \u2013 8PM on Saturday and 11AM – 6PM on Sunday.<\/p>\n

There is no admission fee. It\u2019s held as a pay as you go event so you can visit as many of the food trucks as you wish, and each purchase yields a coupon to vote for your favorite food truck creation.<\/p>\n

Last weekend\u2019s winner was Wink & Moo, for their spicy barbeque sandwiches. There is plenty of free parking for the expected one thousand visitors. You can enjoy live music and complimentary winery tours at 2PM and 4PM each day.<\/p>\n

They will also be serving the winery\u2019s wines grown from Pennsylvania grapes so that you can have fun pairing wines with food. Treat yourself\u00a0to a wine tasting experience \u2014 either a standard tasting ($10), or the reserve tasting ($15) which includes the limited-release Artisan Series<\/em> wines Dry Ros\u00e9 and barrel-aged Chambourcin. \u00a0And they will be serving a sangria made with berries and red wine. The tastings include keepsake glassware.<\/p>\n

According to Chaddsford Winery\u2019s wine manager, Greg Kuhn, the event is intended to provide a friendly gathering for families. Picnic tables are set up under the trees so once you pick out your favorite dishes there are comfortable places to relax and eat.\u00a0\u00a0 All the vendors are local to the area, mostly from Philadelphia.\u00a0\u00a0 Some in fact have won national honors. I visited with Sophie Mamalis and her son George from Rigatoni\u2019s Mobile Crab Cakes. While they run an Italian style restaurant in Philadelphia, the food truck features seafood including crabcakes and they were voted among the top one hundred food trucks in the country. The crabcake was indeed a large portion and delicious.<\/p>\n

But if your taste runs toward barbeque or tacos, there are plenty of ethnic foods to sample as well. Here is the expected lineup for this coming weekend but others are expected beyond the listed vendors.<\/p>\n
