Taste of Fort Lauderdale Series: SOBEWFF in Broward
New to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival is a notable, celeb-laden five days of excellent events in Fort Lauderdale. So if you want something a little closer than Miami Beach, and you’re a fan of Food Network’s Robert Irvine (pictured), Cooking Channel’s “Extra Virgin” hosts Debi Mazar and hubby Gabriele Corcos (pictured), Todd English, Marc Vetri, Paul Lemieux or the cast of “Chopped” (among others), you’ll need to hustle and buy a SOBEWFF ticket here.
Tickets range from $95 to $250, depending on the event. You won’t want to miss the event at the Bonnet House, or the Napa-style dinner at the stylish Auberge Beach Residences & Spa or the Bloody Mary brunch hosted by the “Chopped” cast at the Ritz-Carlton. Oh yum.
