The Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE (SOBEWFF) is upon us. The festival is now in its 15th year and will be taking place February 24 – 28, 2016. The event allows you to sample delicious eats, and mingle with some of the most talented chefs and celebrities. Recently recognized as the #1 food and restaurant industry event in the U.S. by BizBash for the third year in a row, the Festival has raised more than $22 million to date for charity.
The Festival’s iconic tents on the beach stretching between 10th & 13th Streets off Ocean Drive house Goya Foods Grand Tasting Village featuring MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents & KitchenAid® Culinary Demonstrations, which continues to capitalize on the revamped setting and programming structure successfully introduced during last year’s Festival. This gourmet sampling features the finest pours from the Southern Wine & Spirits of Florida portfolio, and a tri-county array of restaurants, led by this year’s Culinary Captains representing neighborhoods across South Florida.
