Wine connoisseurs, get your tickets to Chef Daniel Bruce's Boston Wine Festival, one of the nation's longest-running wine events.

The 23-year-old event features wine tastings, paired with signature dishes created by Chef Bruce. Throughout the history of the Boston Wine Festival, the menu has never been repeated.
