South Beach Food And Wine Fest

SoBe Food and Wine Fest tents at the beach

The South Beach Food And Wine Fest is an epic affair of glorious food, famous chefs, flowing champagne, or wine... or beer... and it will be attracting its share of foodies to one of the most spectacular places to be this time of the year, gorgeous South Beach.

The festival consists of a large number of events, some private, some open to the trade only, and many many more open to the public for all of our enjoyment.

What kind of events? This is an entire weekend of star-studded culinary events with the food world's top-notch celebrities. Brunches, Cocktail Parties, Seminars, Dinners, Burger Bashes, Wine Tastings, VIP galas... you name it, and of course the Grand Tasting Village set up beachside in tents along 13th Street and Ocean Drive.

The fantastic venues vary from year to year and this is great chance to visit the most popular beachside, rooftop, and poolside settings in the city's iconic properties. Some of the regulars coming back year after year: the Delano, the Fountainbleau, the Ritz Carlton, the Biltmore...
