If you've been visiting the blog for a while, you know how my family and I love visiting Kings Dominion every year. We always have a great time every time we visit!
If you and your family are planning to go visit Kings Dominion soon, you'll be glad to know about their brand new event, Taste of Virginia Kings Dominion happening on Saturdays and Sundays from May 6 to May 21.
At this exciting, mouth-watering event, you'll be taken to a delicious journey through the commonwealth as you taste sample-size dishes inspired by regions such as Chesapeake Bay and Tidewater including crab cakes and seared oysters. For a sneak preview of the Taste of Virginia event, you can watch videos on Kings Dominion's Facebook page.
Taste the delicacies of colonial Virginia with Smithfield ham and cheese empanadas or sweet potato and roast duck popovers.
Love desserts? Taste of Virginia has that covered for you too, with peanut butter fudge, fried Winesap apple pies and much more!
Kings Dominion park has also partnered with several of Virginia's world-class breweries, wineries and distilleries to help quench your thirst featuring favorites like Hardywood, Copper Fox Distillery, Legend Brewing Company, Center of the Universe and many more.
And while you're enjoying all the great food, you'll also be grooving to the sounds of the BEST local live bands, and this Saturday, May 13, Taste of Virginia Kings Dominion will feature appearances by two special guests:

I had no idea this happened at that park. It's not that far from me, so I will definitely be remembering this for next time. Woohoo!
What a super fun & tasty time to be had!!! I love tasting events, I always discover a new favorite something!!!
The chance to be at a food fair is good enough reason to travel. I would like to have a taste of the cheese empanada. It sounds so good. I wish i lived closer to Virginia. This would be such a fun event to go to.
I need some of that apple pie in my life! It looks absolutely amazing and some peanut butter fudge too couldn't hurt. 😉
Taste of Virginia sounds like a really cool family event! The food certainly looks tasty - would love to attend one day!
The Taste of Virginia event sounds amazing at Kings Dominion park . It sounds like so much fun to attend. We love visiting food festivals to taste all the different foods. Thanks for sharing this awesome event.
Virginia is one beautiful place to visit. We explored one of their cities last year and we had fun! Food is delicious!
Taste of Virigina sounds awesome. Atlanta has a version here too.
That looks wonderful. I'm not very food-worldly so I confess I never knew quite what an empanada was before. Now I get it.
Everything you mentioned sounds and looks absolutely scrumptious! This is totally up my alley and my kind of foodie event. Those popovers - wowza! I've never seen anything so creative for a popover before.
I've never been to an event like this. I'll have to see if I can work in a trip there the next time they 're going to have one of these.
Now this is one event that would make me feel bad if I could not attend. Okay, now I am feeling bad. We live too far from Virginia! Anyway, I hope you have a great time!
Oh wow this sounds like such a fun event if I happened to be nearby I would totally have to make sure I made it.
Oh fun, I'd enjoy going. I love to eat so I'd like all this food. Desserts make me very happy! We'll be in Virginia this summer.
I love Damaris! This looks like such delicious fun. I was just thinking before I read this about how we are going to Virginia, but not until October.
That looks like such a fun time! I've been to Kings Island and Cedar Point which are both run by Cedar Fair, but I've never been during a food event. I would love to though!
These different tasting events are always so popular. This one sounds wonderful and a day full of great food.
I would love to take a big bite out of Virginia by visiting Kings Dominion! The food looks amazing and the trip is perfect for a family vacation. I need to visit soon!
That sounds like such a fun place. I would love to plan a family trip to visit Kings Dominion sometime.
