The highly anticipated 23rd annual Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One (SOBEWFF®) is returning this year with a bang. Known as one of the largest and most prestigious wine and food charity festivals in the country, this four-day event promises an incredible lineup of culinary delights, celebrity chefs, Grammy-winning musicians, and renowned lifestyle personalities. With over 105 events and the participation of more than 500 chefs, wine and spirit producers, this festival is set to be an unforgettable experience.
Founded and directed by Lee Brian Schrager, the Festival not only showcases exceptional food and drink but also celebrates the vibrant spirit of Miami. The city's magical ambiance adds a unique touch to the Festival's success, along with the extraordinary talent, both local and international, that entices fans to return year after year. Schrager expressed his delight in seeing the Festival grow from its humble beginnings on the campus of Florida International University (FIU) to an international stage that supports the development of future hospitality leaders.
Culinary Delights and Celebrity Chefs Await
Food Network stars such as Bobby Flay, Rachel Ray, Guy Fieri, Alex Guarnaschelli, Katie Lee, Geoffrey Zakarian, Robert Irvine, and many more will grace the festival with their presence and participate in various special events throughout the weekend. Their culinary expertise and captivating personalities are sure to elevate the festival experience.
Two iconic open-air tasting tents, the American Airlines North Venue and Goya Foods' Grand Tasting Village, are an integral part of SOBEWFF®. These venues will host two days and four nights of unparalleled culinary creations from the nation's most talented chefs and lifestyle personalities. Supporting this grand affair are over 1,500 student volunteers from Florida International University, who contribute their time and effort to make the festival a resounding success.
Supporting Future Leaders and Philanthropic Endeavors
Since its inception, the Festival has raised an astounding $37 million in support of its educational mission to foster future leaders in the hospitality industry at the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at FIU. Combined with its sister festival, the New York City Wine & Food Festival (NYCWFF), over $51 million has been raised to benefit the respective charities of each event. Beyond the monetary contributions, both festivals bring attention to the vibrant dining cultures of their cities, stimulate economic growth, and serve as platforms to raise awareness and engagement for various philanthropic endeavors.
