Visit Lauderdale boasts the charm of Greater Fort Lauderdale that draws people from around the world, lending a literal buffet of international cuisine that can be enjoyed all year long. This diversity in food has lent to our own Super Bowl for foodies: the Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival. Although the event is just a few years old, it has quickly exploded into a major festival on par with other regional gatherings that have garnered international acclaim. The Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival runs from January 8 to 14, 2024, in various locations throughout Greater Fort Lauderdale. You can sign up for classes and seminars taught by the pros, from Chef Nancy Fuller’s Tropical Farmhouse Cooking and the Art of Dumplings at Temple Street Eatery to the Nuggs & Bubbs wine seminar at Sidewalk Bottle Shop. Also on the calendar is a mixology contest, the Wok ‘N Roll Asian street food experience, a poolside BBQ party at the Hyatt Centric Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale kids cooking classes, and more. For the highly anticipated Wine Smackdown at Olive and Sea, Sommeliers Anthony Giglio and Amanda McCrossin will be putting new and old world wines to the test to see which pours come out on top. The festival’s signature event is the Grand Tasting at Las Olas Oceanside Park (The Loop), a 21+ event with a village of food and drink vendors from throughout the area. Don’t miss this extravaganza. Further details are available on visitlauderdale.com
