Blas na hEireann – Finalists & Winners at BITE Food Festival

August 12, 2016 by Irish Food Awards

Blas na hEireann will this year have a dedicated area at The Bite Food Festival, Main Hall, RDS. 18th-20th November 2016. The Bite Food Festival is an Irish Times event run by the team behind the National Crafts & Design Fair.

This year past finalists and winners of Blas na hEireann will have an opportunity to come together at a central point under the Blas na hEireann banner. We are very excited to be taking part in this show and to bring a showcase of Ireland’s very best tasting food and drinks to this growing show.

Bite 2015 in numbers: 15,000 visitors – 100 exhibitors – 4 days

  • 80 Artisan Food producers- making everything from cheese to chocolate, organic meats to handmade marshmallows as well as lots of healthy and free-from options.
  • 6 Craft Beer Brewers, 6 small batch distillers, 4 Craft Cider makers 3 wine specialists
  • 1 pop up seafood restaurant, serving lobster, oysters and cocktails.
  • 1 Main Stage featuring demonstrations from well-known chefs and our food and drink producers.

  • 1 drinks masterclass, where you could learn about everything from coffee to cocktails.
  • 1 Irish Times area with special Q&A’s with various food and wine experts and critics.

Exciting plans for Bite 2016

  • The bulk of sales took place on Friday afternoon & on the weekend days. This year Bite will run as a 3 day event this year and concentrate the business into 3 days instead of 4.
  • There will be a dedicated trade morning on Friday 18th November.
  • There visitor profile at Bite differed from the visitor profile at the National Crafts & Design Fair, it’s a younger age profile, young professionals and families  who appreciate the importance of local, seasonal, quality food and drink products.
