MIAMI
2018 Miami Beach Food & Wine Festival
One of the country’s great culinary festivals will be taking over Miami (and beyond) before you know it—for the 17th time.
The 17th Annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival: February 21-25, 2018
We’re talking, of course, about the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, and many of its 85-plus events go down within easy reach of Mercato Della Pescheria. Take in the celebrity chefs, the exquisite wine-and-food pairings, the exuberant celebrations of cuisine from all corners of the globe—and work in a world-class Italian meal at our Espanola Way restaurant while you’re at it!
Presented by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and Florida International University in cooperation with the Food Network, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival draws more than 65,000 happy and hungry attendees each year. The 2018 edition will take place February 21 through 25.
