Celebrating Our 12th Year~
The Pride of New York Harvest Fest is an annual celebration of New York State food and wine bounty, held at The Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Albany, New York. Guests gather to taste-test the State’s glorious yield, made possible and available by a deeply rooted and progressive agricultural community. New York State’s orchards, gardens, farms and food production industries are represented by 50 purveyors at a smorgasbord of exceptional edibles, and premier vintages from more than 40 New York State wineries are poured for guests. Proceeds from Harvest Fest benefit the Classroom Enrichment Fund at the Community Foundation of the Capital Region, to help local teachers purchase curriculum and classroom.
