The weekend begins with Wine and Food Fest Chef Vintner Dinners, an ultimate dining and wine experience! The Chef Vintner Dinners offer the unforgettable experience of enjoying food and wine pairings in intimate surroundings with stand-out chefs and vintners from select wineries.

By pairing world-renowned wineries with some of our area’s finest chefs and then placing them in Southwest Florida’s most exclusive residences in Lee and Collier counties, guests will enjoy an evening unparalleled.

These exclusive gatherings will be as unique as each chef’s cuisine and the home of the Chef Vintner Dinner hosts. Included in the dinner tickets, all dinner attendees will have a seat at the host’s reserved table the next day at the Grand Tasting and Auction.
