News just in about this years Eat Drink SLC, back for 2022, as a two night event. Here’s the full press release from the organizers:

Nibble, nosh, sip and swirl the evening away while enjoying live music, opera, and dance on Tracy Aviary’s lush grounds at Eat Drink SLC 2022 on September 14 and 15, from 5:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Festival-goers, aged 21 and over, sample seasonal fare from many of Salt Lake’s leading restaurants and purveyors; sip from a selection of over 100 wines from an international assortment of family-owned wineries; taste craft cocktails from small-batch distilleries, including several which are locally owned and operated; enjoy local beers from award-winning Utah craft brewers; and choose from a variety of quality non-alcoholic beverages. Each of the two nights feature a different mix of food and libation partners.   

“Eat Drink SLC represents Salt Lake’s arrival as a culinary hotspot with chef-driven and -owned restaurants, esteemed mixologists, and elevated beverage programs,” says Tracey Thompson, President of Vine Lore Wine and Spirits, one of the event’s organizing partners. 

“This year, we’re spreading the fun over two perfect September evenings, each with a distinctive synergy of different culinary & libation partners,” Thompson continues. “Though tickets sell out every year, we remain committed to an intimate, uncrowded event with ample opportunity for patrons to engage with winemakers, chefs, and other ambassadors of our incredibly generous and talented vendors. That, plus the presence of professional performing artists, and a garden like setting is what sets Eat Drink apart.”

Attendance is capped at 350 lucky ticket holders for each night. Food and drink partners include: local restaurants such as Copper Onion, Whiskey Street, Provisions, SAPA Sushi Bar & Asian Grill, Pretty Bird Chicken, and Yoko Ramen; award-winning wineries like Lorenza, Obsidian Wine Co., Duckhorn, and Piattelli; and Utah-owned distilleries Beehive Distilling, Ogden’s Own, and Waterpocket. The website includes a complete, updated list.


Eat Drink SLC is hosted under a nonprofit partnership umbrella consisting of Tracy Aviary and SB Dance. These two organizations represent, respectively, a place and an arts-maker that contribute to the unique character of our community. Net proceeds support these two organizations and a third nonprofit—Women of the World–a small but mighty boutique organization that empowers refugee, immigrant, and asylum- seeking women and their families to achieve self-reliance in their new home of Salt Lake County. Many of Women of the World’s constituents go on to contribute meaningful skills and ideas to the service industry. Indeed, Eat Drink SLC’s mission is to honor the entire industry, from customers, business owners, managers, and servers to purveyors and agricultural workers. Over the years, Eat Drink has raised over $75,000 for Salt Lake County nonprofits. 

Admission includes all food and drink and a complementary signature wine glass. Guests must be 21 years old and over. ID is required. 

Wednesday, September 14 and Thursday, September 15, 2022. 5:45-8:15 pm. Tickets: $100. Website and tickets: www.eatdrinkslc.com
