South Beach Wine & Food Festival Returns
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Feb. 25, 2023 – PRLog — The South Beach Wine & Food Festival will celebrate its 22nd year. It’s one of the most popular food festivals in the country. One of its major sponsors is the popular TV channel Food Network.
And I would guess another reason the event is always sold-out is that it runs this year from February 23, – February 26, 2023. And who wouldn’t want to spend four days in the Sunshine State, when it’s currently 82 degrees from my perch on Ocean Drive.
The event’s founder and top executive Lee Brian Schrager ever present on the scene is expecting 60,000 visitors this year says, “We’re going into the best years of the festival. The level of talent and the support of the community is better than it’s ever been.”
Our mission today is the same as when we started in our first year, to shine a spotlight on the local chefs that are putting Miami on the world’s culinary map.”Long before Nobu or Thomas Keller or Fabio Trabocchi opened restaurants here, they saw how great Miami is. It’s been a boomerang effect. Miami is no longer a seasonal place. It’s busy all year round,” says Schrager.
Four of the events expecting big numbers are and with a lineup is way too packed to fully do justice to here, but to whet your appetite, here are a few highlighted events that still had tickets available at press time. Check the full schedule here (https://sobewff.org/
