[The Miami Times] South Beach Wine & Food Festival sizzles

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) returns to Miami Feb. 23-26, featuring more than 100 new and established events that are sure to keep festivalgoers both well fed and entertained.

Breathing life into the 22nd annual showcase are hundreds of chefs, wine and spirits producers, and Grammy award-winning artists. Events are scheduled throughout South Florida, from the quintessential North Venue and Grand Tasting Village to Overtown, Wynwood, Hallandale Beach and everywhere in between, with tastings, parties, wine seminars, master classes and more.

This year’s festivities will showcase the talent and diversity of Miami’s local cuisine, chefs and foodie celebrities, says Schrager, with events like The Cookout, hosted by JJ Johnson and pandemic-era darling DJ D-Nice; Overtown EatUp!, hosted by Marcus Samuelsson and Amaris Jones; Chicken Coupe, hosted by Michelle Bernstein; and a Jazz Brunch on Sunday hosted by Mashama Bailey, whom Schrager says is probably one of the greatest Black female chefs in the country today.
