(Springfield, VA) – On March 26, over 600 residents and guests attended Greenspring’s annual Food & Wine Expo. This year, the event highlighted the community’s extensive wine selection, healthy-choice menu options, and local food vendors, as well as culinary demonstrations by Greenspring’s chefs.
“This event is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase the tremendous variety of dining options and wine offerings available at Greenspring,” said Brian Marandola, the Director of Dining Services at Greenspring. “It also allows residents and guests to meet our culinary partners who supply the community with fresh produce, meat and seafood, baked goods, and other products.”
Greenspring’s own chefs were on hand providing regular demonstrations and the community’s dietitians were available to discuss all aspects of healthy eating. As National Nutrition Month is celebrated in March, residents and guests also had the opportunity to learn more about My Nutrition, an online source for nutritional facts and figures for every item served daily at the community.
Some of the vendors who exhibited at the event included Capital Seaboard, Hershey’s Ice Cream, Metropolitan Meat, Seafood & Poultry, Sysco, Clements Bakery, Kellogg’s and Coastal Sunbelt Produce, among others. They provided a wide assortment of samples and information on gluten-free and sugar-free items, sustainable seafood products, and farm-fresh produce.
Greenspring is home to nearly 2000 residents and operates several dining venues across campus, including five restaurants in independent living. The community rotates 1200 items monthly on its menus and also provides residents with a selection of nearly two dozen wines on any given day.
