HAMPTON — Taste of Northeast Connecticut will bring regional food producers and artists together at StoneHurst at Hampton Valley on Thursday, November 5, from 5 to 9 p.m., according to the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber’s registration page lists an individual ticket at $85 for both members and people who are not members. Its original 2026 flyer says the ticket includes restaurant and farm tastings, a regional art showcase, live music, a silent auction and community networking.
Rather than a restaurant-only dinner, the advertised format puts farms and visual arts alongside local food businesses. The flyer presents it as an opportunity to sample the region and meet participants; the reviewed materials do not specify a complete menu, performance schedule or which items will be available at each station.
The event will use both the Mansion and Barn wedding venues at StoneHurst, with a trolley carrying guests between them throughout the evening, WINY Radio reported October 28. The venue is at 119 Providence Turnpike in Hampton. The reviewed sources do not assign individual exhibitors to specific rooms.
WINY’s participant list includes restaurants, breweries and bakeries such as Black Dog Bar & Grille, Black Pond Brews, Heirloom Food Company and Willimantic Brewing Company. Farm participants include Little Dipper Farm, BOTL Farm and Russo’s Roots; the art lineup includes Tom Menard and Art Guild Northeast. These are announced participants, not confirmation of what each will serve or sell.
The Chamber’s registration page is the source for current ticket terms. Sponsorship packages are listed separately from the individual ticket; their prices should not be mistaken for general admission. This report does not establish remaining ticket inventory, a sales deadline or a refund policy.
This AI-written report was prepared from the Chamber’s registration page and previously reviewed original flyer, StoneHurst’s venue and contact pages, and WINY Radio’s October 28 newsroom report supplied through RSS. The new two-venue, trolley and participant details are attributed to WINY; Eastern CT News did not interview organizers or visit the site.
