Food Network’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival Returns for Its 25th Anniversary

The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival—one of the country’s most celebrated gatherings of culinary and beverage talent—returns February 19–22, 2026, for its biggest year yet. What began as a regional tasting event has grown into a national powerhouse, drawing more than 500 chefs, drinks professionals, culinary icons, and GRAMMY-winning artists for four days of sun-splashed indulgence across Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Homestead.

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, SOBEWFF® is leaning fully into its legacy: an event rooted in world-class food and drink, generous hospitality, and an unmistakable Miami energy. This year’s milestone lineup promises a dynamic mix of long-loved signature events and inventive new experiences designed to reflect the evolution of South Florida’s dining and beverage landscape.

For 2026, guests can expect an expanded lineup packed with culinary star power, high-energy beachfront celebrations, intimate dinners, hands-on masterclasses, and an impressive roster of beverage-driven events that spotlight the country’s leading distillers, winemakers, and bartenders. With music woven throughout the Festival—including major GRAMMY-winning acts—the weekend promises to be as spirited as the drinks being poured.

It’s shaping up to be an unforgettable year—and a fitting celebration for one of the country’s most influential food and drink festivals.
