South Beach Wine & Food Festival — February 25–28

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) is one of the most celebrated food and wine events in the country, held each February across Miami Beach. Celebrity chefs, James Beard Award winners, and top sommeliers headline a packed schedule of dinners, tastings, and beach events over four days.

What's On

Events range from intimate chef's table dinners to the massive Grand Tasting Village on the beach, where hundreds of wines and bites from dozens of restaurants are poured and served. Tickets for the most popular events sell out months in advance, so plan early.

Dates

The festival runs February 25–28 each year. Individual event tickets go on sale well before the festival — check the official SOBEWFF site for the full lineup and pricing.

Getting There from Fort Lauderdale

Miami Beach is about 35 miles south of Fort Lauderdale, roughly 40 minutes by car outside of peak traffic. Rideshare is the easiest option for evening events when parking on South Beach is tight. The Brightline train to Miami is another good option if you want to skip driving entirely.
