I have gone to this tasting for the past three out of four years. It is set up with several large open-wall tents, each with a tomato theme (beefsteaks, cherries, pastes, etc.). I believe they offer about 80+ varieties of tomatoes for tasting.
I am skipping this year because it gets too crowded with long slow lines and poor organization. Also they seem to lack a lot of the classic varieties I wanted to taste, and the taste buds get saturated after a while and they all start tasting the same. If you go, be sure to take the hay ride!
