South Beach was “the” place to be this past weekend, as the South Beach Wine & Food Festival returned to the 305, and attracted food and wine enthusiasts from around the world. Festival-goers were spoiled with food from the area’s top restaurants, fine wine from around the world — and had the chance to mingle with some of world’s best chefs and Food Network personalities.
The weekend kicked off with Moët Hennessy’s The Q hosted by Michael Symon and models from the 50th Anniversary of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where guests satisfied their carnivorous cravings and the excitement didn’t end until Sunday night, when the Best of the Munchies: People’s Choice Food Awards took place at The Ritz-Carlton.
We stayed with the tried and true this year — and ventured down to the beach for the Grand Tasting Village, where we experienced a little bit of everything.
