South Beach Wine & Food Festival
Celebrity chefs, beachside tasting villages and late-night parties at one of the country's premier food festivals.
About the South Beach Wine & Food Festival
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) is a multi-day celebration that brings celebrity chefs, renowned winemakers and Miami’s top restaurants together each winter. Events range from intimate dinners to giant beachfront tasting tents.
Every event is ticketed separately, and the most popular parties sell out quickly. With Miami’s hotels busy in February, book rooms early and pick a few anchor events, then fill in with walk-around tastings.
