Event Alert! 2019 South Beach Wine & Food Festival

February 10, 2019 by Chi@glance

At Chi@Glance we cover A LOT of food festivals. From Chicago Gourmet, to Cochon, Taste Talks, First Bites Bash, Luxe Home Chill……well you get the picture. 🙂 We’ve also done our fair share of food reviews and interviewed countless chefs. It’s always a good time to get to travel to see what other cities present in terms of their culinary scene.

Last October we packed our bags  and headed to New York to check out the New York City Wine & Food Festival (click HERE for recap). This time we’re heading South to the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival. There’s going to be over 100 events and 60,000 people all getting together to EAT, Drink, and be Educated. With over 350+ Chefs and talent in attendance it’s sure to be a good time. Read below for more information.

INDULGE IN BEATS & EATS ON THE BEACH AT THE 2019 FOOD NETWORK & COOKING CHANNEL SOUTH BEACH WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL!
Festival Returns to EAT. DRINK. EDUCATE. February 20 – 24, 2019

The 18th annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) returns to EAT. DRINK. EDUCATE. February 20 – 24, 2019.  Widely known as one of America’s favorite gourmet gatherings on the beach, the Festival has once again added an all-star line-up of musical acts to join its fan-favorite roster of renowned chefs, culinary and lifestyle personalities, winemakers, and spirits producers.

On Saturday, February 23, GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Cassadee Pope and popular band Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will take center stage at the Festival’s signature Coca-Cola Beachside BBQ presented by The National Pork Board hosted by Guy Fieri.  In addition to sipping on libations and savoring carnivorous creations from more than 30 of the nation’s top grill maestros and pitmasters, Pope, the first female winner of NBC’s The Voice, and Nelson, co-producer of the music for the film A Star is Born, will treat attendees to a live performance of their pop and country-rock hits.

Wildly popular musician and mogul DJ IRIE, who is recognized for his continuous support of a variety of local and national non-profit organizations, will provide the high-energy beats at two Festival events.  These include:

  • Taste Jamaica presented by the Jamaica Tourist Board and TEF hosted by Cindy Hutson & Delius Shirley (Friday, February 22)
  • Goldbelly presents Sweets & Beats hosted by Cake Boss Buddy Valastro and Joe Ariel (Saturday, February 23)

GRAMMY® Award-winner and 90’s icon Rev Run will bring the beats to a returning Festival favorite Midnight Eats: An Española Way Block Party hosted by Bar Lab, Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos.  Taking place on Saturday, February 23, this late-night soiree will take over the charming, pedestrian-friendly corridor known as Española Way in the historic Art Deco part of South Beach.  Featuring midnight bites from the restaurants that call the coveted respite home and specially crafted cocktails from the masterminds at Bar Lab, this party has all of the ingredients to create a great night out on the town.

On Sunday, February 24, the Festival signature daytime tasting on the beach will include two featured musical experiences throughout the event.  The Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village featuring Mastercard Grand Tasting Tents & Publix Culinary Demonstrations sponsored by Sub-Zero Group Southeast will delight attendees by adding music from Nu Deco Ensemble, an eclectic chamber orchestra designed for the 21st Century based out of Coral Gables, FL, to the event.  As attendees sip on wines and libations from more than 80 suppliers from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio and nosh on tastings from more than 55 restaurants, they will also enjoy the return of the featured David Grutman Experience throughout the day.  Curated by the nightlife and hospitality leader himself, this 360-experience will include interactive activations and high-energy beats.  The David Grutman Experience will be hosted by Ludacris with top DJ’s on-site, including a set by wildly popular artist and producer Cedric Gervais as part of the experience.

EAT. DRINK. EDUCATE.  All proceeds from the Festival benefit the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University.  Tickets to these events and more are available online at sobewff.org or by calling 877.762.3933 (Phone sales are open Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST).  To date, SOBEWFF® has raised more than $28 million to support the education of the future leaders of the hospitality industry.

Staycation Alert! 🚨 I headed to Obama’s homet Staycation Alert! 🚨 I headed to Obama’s hometown of Hyde Park for a relaxing staycation @Sophyhotel. The boutique hotel epitomizes the essence of Hyde Park, Chicago and showcases a curated selection of artwork from local artists. 

I stayed in the Dorchester Suite. It is HUGE and I love the attention to detail. 🥰 You see that Nina Simone record? 👀 Also make sure you head down to onsite restaurant @Meslerkitchenbarlouge. We had a FABULOUS dinner. I loved the daily special Housemade Seafood Bucatini Pasta. AND the Manhattan cocktail with the @unclenearest infused cookie from @strugglebeardbakery was fantastic.

The travel industry’s leading international trad The travel industry’s leading international trade show @ustravelipw is in Chicago June 14th - 18th. During the show travel professionals get to experience world class entertainment, immersive activations, and unforgettable evening events. 

I was invited by @Visitwyoming for a one-of-a-kind event that consisted of unique hands on experiences from many destination partners within the state. The event brought the last bastion of the West to Chicago. 

We got our own custom-made cowboy hats with @Beavercreekhats, mastered the art of lasso with Cody Yellowstone’s expert guidance, savored the bold untamed flavors of @brushcreekdistillery, witnessed the live creation of Wyoming inspired art by Cheyenne’s Bria Hammock and we got to wear a piece of her vision with a custom temporary tattoo. We smelled the rich earthy scent of handcrafted leather as we watched master carvers from King Ropes and the Brinton Museum. Last, but not least we enjoyed a special performance by two- time world champion hoop dancer Jasmine Pickner Bell of the Northern Arapaho.

What a FUN event! I’m ready to go to Wyoming now!!! 🤠 Are you?
