Southwest Florida Wine & Food Fest Event Itinerary

The weekend begins with Wine and Food Fest Chef Vintner Dinners, an ultimate dining experience! By pairing world-renowned wineries with our area's finest chefs and then placing them in Southwest Florida's most exclusive residences in Lee and Collier counties, we will create an evening unparalleled.

Grand Tasting

The event continues the next afternoon with The Grand Tasting and Auction beachside at the beautiful Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club where local chefs will show off their culinary talents and prepare an array of tasty tapas and delectable desserts. Alongside the food tables, guests will enjoy wine pairings with tasting stations from wineries featuring fine wines from America and the world's major winegrowing regions.

The Wine and Food Fest's Grand Tasting chef stations and wine tastings will be set near the shoreline mixing the best of what Southwest Florida has to offer. The wine will continue to flow throughout the afternoon to enhance lively auction festivities.

At the auction, guests are invited to bid on exceptional packages of wines (many of which will be featured during Wine Fest), wines donated from the cellars of local wine collectors and participating wineries, exclusive trips, marvelous food experiences, artwork by world renowned artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and more. During the spirited live and silent auctions, reserved seating for all guests, dinner hosts and their guests, and our sponsors will be the backdrop along the Miromar Lakes beachside venue.
