Start the year with something worth savoring. The Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival brings chefs, local restaurants, and culinary talent together for a week of tastings, dinners, classes, and special events. Plus, a portion of festival proceeds benefits Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
The Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival is the premier culinary event in Broward County! Featuring activations throughout the year and culminating with a week long celebration, the festival puts the spotlight on Greater Fort Lauderdale’s hospitality industry all year long. Produced by 66 Productions, VLFWF showcases Broward County’s renowned and emerging chefs, restaurateurs and local food & beverage establishments. A portion of all proceeds from the Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival will benefit Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
South Florida as a whole, is a hot bed of new and emerging restaurant trends that has led to a culinary renaissance throughout Broward County. Established in January of 2018, the Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival was created with a focus on our local hospitality industry.
The festival’s goal remains steadfast in shining the spotlight on Greater Fort Lauderdale’s restaurants, hotels, chefs and mixologists while raising much needed funds for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. From our 23 miles of award-winning beaches, to sprawling downtown communities and emerging arts & entertainment districts, each of our events will offer a unique setting that will showcase why Greater Fort Lauderdale is so special to us all as we benefit local charity.
