The weekend kicks off with the Opening Night Celebration at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Highlands Country Clubhouse. The evening includes live music, a variety of wine tasting tables and the delectable cuisine of Highlands’ local chefs. Throughout the weekend, there will also be an array of activities, cooking demonstrations, tastings and dinners hosted by area restaurants, merchants and accommodations. Experience the wares of Highlands’ fine shops by attending the annual Sip & Stroll held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 7-8 in downtown. It’s impressive to see the creativity that goes into Highlands Culinary Weekend.
