South Beach Wine & Food Festival: February 19-22, 202
Ah, February in Miami! As Miami gets ready for the Miami International Boat Show February 11-15 followed a few days later by the South Beach Wine and Food Festival February 19th -22, MIAbites is gearing up for lots of food and wine lovers descending on our city.
The Boat Show attracts over 100,000 attendees and SOBEWFF draws over 65,000 attendees. No comment here about expected traffic, but suggest you plan accordingly and walk, bike or use mass transit where possible.
The South Beach Wine and Food Festival presented by CapitalOne is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and the 4-day event is hosting over 105 different culinary, wine, spirits and food culture events including Signature events like the Goya Foods Grand Tasting Village, Mikes Amazing Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray, and a Drag Brunch with Antoni Porowski and Ana Navarro.
The festival proudly also hosts intimate Chef-driven dinners at top restaurants and other unique culinary experiences.
Tickets for all events are available on this link:
While the list is mouthwatering and somewhat daunting, it is easy to spend thousands of dollars over the four-day event, so we decided to focus on the $100 and under events:
