The TASTE is a panorama of sights, a symphony of sounds, and a festival of flavors that represent all that’s great about our little corner of the Midwest.
Every year in late summer, restaurants, caterers, craft breweries, and wineries from throughout Montgomery County gather to bring you the TASTE. This event on the shady, rolling hills of the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum showcases a huge variety of tasty treats and mouth-watering morsels.
To add some sound bites to the food bites, the TASTE also hosts three live musical acts representing different musical genres. From blues to funk, Celtic to rock, the TASTE features terrific tunes to satisfy almost every palate.
For lifelong residents or those just passing through, the TASTE of Montgomery County puts the sweetness of Hoosier living right on your plate.
