Mohegan Sun’s Wine & Food Fest returns this weekend, after a fest-free 2020. (You know why, right? Don’t make me type “pandemic” again.)

The event offers two new features, in addition to the popular classics.

The newbies:

A Night with Toms’ Good Lovin’ from 9 to 11 p.m. Friday at novelle features Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz of “Vanderpump Rules” fame. It will be a “mixology experience,” according to the press release, featuring their new whiskey. Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 on Friday.

Game Day Brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at novelle is hosted by Buddy Valastro, the “Cake Boss,” and boasts special guest, former NFL player Victor Cruz. Tickets are $90 in advance, $100 on Sunday.
