For food lovers, one of the hardest choices to make when traveling to a new city is what restaurants to hit while there. A way to sidestep having to make those tough decisions is to plan your trip around a food and wine festival.
These well-organized events take place all over the country throughout the year, and this spring, some will transport you to fantastic destinations, including Maui, Aspen and Austin. So, don't forget to pack your favorite stretchy pants because there's no shortage of good eats ahead.
