The highly anticipated four-day culinary extravaganza returns next week from Dec. 12-15, and there are still a few tickets available for some stellar events.
In partnership with the legendary Wine Spectator, this year’s festival will host more than 100 wineries (all with a 90+ rating by the publication) at its Grand Tasting soiree and welcomes four new events.
The first evening kicks off with five multi-course dinners curated by some of our most beloved local chefs, including Cindy & Jeremy Bearman of Oceano Kitchen and Lindsay Autry of Honeybelle. Friday’s treasured lunches and evening events will be hosted around the county, including Meat Market, Café Chardonnay, PB Catch Seafood & Raw Bar, Eau Palm Beach, Aioli, La Sirena, The Boca Raton and The Breakers. Saturday is filled with wine tastings, a cocktail workshop, a barbecue-inspired walkaround event, and even kids’ cooking demos at the Four Seasons Resort. End the weekend with a bang with three brunches, including one hosted by Daniel Boulud, and the impressive Grand Tasting at the Palm Beah County Convention Center.
New events this year are Friday’s Polpo dinner featuring Zenato Winery and co-hosted by chefs Joe Flamm, Sarah Grueneberg and Giorgio Rapicavoli; Saturday’s lunch at NIMO with Niente Wine Estates and hosted by chefs Niven Patel, Ayesha Nurdjaja and Timon Balloo; and Saturday night’s “A Night at The Ben” walkaround event with several chefs like Stephen Stryjewski, David Burke and Ashley Christensen.
This is also the festival’s second year donating a portion of the proceeds to the Els for Autism Foundation and its mission of serving those with autism spectrum disorder and their families.
