The South Beach Wine & Food Festival, a staple of Miami's culinary scene, promises a blend of education, entertainment, and competition this 2024 season. Running from February 20-23, the festival boasts over 100 events celebrating food and wine while supporting the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at FIU. Notably, the festival has raised $40 million since its inception in 1997. Embracing the growing popularity of culinary competitions, festival founder Lee Schrager notes that this approach aligns with food media trends, making the event more engaging for attendees and chefs alike.
The festival, which runs from Feb. 20-23 and is now in its 24th year, can also be a competition. Not every event pits chefs against each other, of course. Most don't.
According to festival founder Lee Schrager, the move makes sense: the consistent popularity of competitive television shows means there’s an appetite for good-natured rivalries.
