Calirosa Tequila Sunset Happy Hour
hosted by Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Date & Time: Thu, Feb 24 | :
Price: $150.00
Location: The Beach Club at 1 Hotel South Beach -
Entrance at 24th Street and Boardwalk

If your golden hour is looking a little pinker these days, you have Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo to thank. The Maroon 5 frontman and wife, former Victoria Secret Model, Behati Prinsloo are the co-founders of Calirosa Tequila, the ultra-hot new brand -- and star of this SOBEWFF® happy hour -- whose blanco tequila brims with a vibrant, fruity flavor and warm, rosy hue. (Unlike most tequilas, which are produced in whiskey or bourbon barrels, this one is uniquely crafted in red wine barrels.) For this spirit-forward party, we’ve tapped the celebrity couple to help us kick off the Festival in high style at 1 Beach Club, an outdoor oasis in a laidback luxurious atmosphere tucked behind the astonishingly chic and tranquil 1 Hotel South Beach. The evening’s centerpiece will be Calirosa’s fragrant trio of tequilas -- the honeyed, dark berry-flavored Rosa Blanco; the cinnamon and caramel-rich Añejo; and the deep, amber-colored Extra Añejo -- all of which have been crafted in partnership with the Real family, who has owned and operated their Jalisco-based distillery, Tequila Selecto de Amatitán, for nearly 80 years. Complemented by fresh and flavorful canapés from 1 Hotel South Beach’s ace culinary team, this star-studded party will be like something out of an Instagram-perfect postcard. No filter needed, of course.

Location: MIchael's Genuine Food & Drink

What would Miami’s culinary landscape be without Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink? Thankfully, we don’t have to imagine a world without Schwartz’s Design District mainstay, which turns an astonishing 15 years old this March. The landmark restaurant, which earned Schwartz a James Beard Award and is largely credited with putting Miami on the nation’s culinary map, has been given an incredible refresh -- and just in time for the Fest-ivities! To light the birthday candles, Schwartz and MGFD's longtime Executive Chef, Dillion Wolff, have enlisted the help of pal Michael Symon, the ever-exuberant Food Network personality and Cleveland-based chef of Mabel’s BBQ and B Spot Burgers. Together, they’ll curate a boldly flavored, multi-course menu that celebrates MGFD’s signature dishes -- but with a SOBEWFF® twist! Expect these pros to make ample use of the restaurant’s wood-burning oven (now a centerpiece of the space’s thoughtful redesign) as they showcase much of what makes MGFD both a tried-and-true favorite among locals and a top-notch dining destination among Magic City visitors. Put your party hats on because after 15 extraordinary years of service, the “restaurant of honor” at this birthday dinner looks (and tastes) better than ever.

Iron Chef Marc Forgione has spent his entire culinary career demonstrating that rustic can indeed be wonderful. His is the kind of food one would expect from the son of “The Godfather of American Cuisine” (the great Larry Forgione) -- unflinchingly honest, complex, and always presented with a sure-handed artist’s touch. The masterful chef, who helms the kitchens at Peasant (the Italian restaurant in Nolita that he took over in 2020) and his eponymously named Tribeca restaurant, made history when he became the youngest American-born chef and owner to receive a Michelin star in consecutive years. Upon enjoying this exceptional meal, you’ll immediately see (and taste) why. For this SOBEWFF® dinner at Osteria Morini, the charming Altamarea Group restaurant tucked inside the Kimpton Hotel Palomar, Forgione and Osteria Morini’s Executive Chef Bill Dorrler will be pulling out all the stops to deliver a seasonal menu layered with playful touches and contemporary twists, accompanied by bold wine pairings from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio.

Classical cuisine meets eye-catching graphic style at this sensational SOBEWFF® dinner that unites two culinary greats at the height of their careers.

Friday nights have never felt more fun. But don’t take our word for it -- just look at the sterling group of headliners we’ve rounded up for this sensational Shabbat dinner, taking place at the glittering Artisan Beach House at The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami. First up is the incandescent Adeena Sussman, known to thousands of passionate foodies (and Instagram followers) as the bestselling author of the seminal Sababa and Chrissy Teigen’s outrageously popular Cravings cookbook series. For this exclusive SOBEWFF® dinner, she’ll develop a vibrant Israeli-flavored menu alongside The Spice Detective himself -- Yaniv Cohen -- the chef behind the terrific Jaffa (located inside the Design District’s Mia Market); and Miami favorite Sam Gorenstein, Executive Chef of the appealingly relaxed Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen. And what would a first-rate Shabbat meal be without a decadent dessert course prepared by Miami’s endlessly inventive pastry wizard, Hedy Goldsmith? Under the direction of Yos Schwartz, this formidable foursome will do it all -- light the candles, pour the wine (courtesy of Israel’s acclaimed Recanati Winery) and say the Hamotzi (after which you’ll no doubt recite a fourth blessing over their peerless gastronomic gifts). By the end of the evening, don’t be surprised if you feel like you’ve formed another kind of family. The gloriously scented and spiced dishes prepared by these exceptionally fine chefs have a mystifying way of making everyone feel like “mishpachah.” This dinner will be Kosher.

Uncovering the Different Shades of Barolo with Marchesi di Barolo
Wine Spectator Wine Seminar

Date & Time: Sat, Feb 26 | 2:00PM
Price: $85.00
Location: Eden Roc Miami Beach

A unique journey through space and time: through space to discover how different soils influence the expression of Barolo wine from the same vintage, and through time, where different climatic trends and the passage of time mark the differences. A journey through the history of a winery , a variegated reality, always evolving, which fascinates us with its many faces. The Marchesi di Barolo Estate encompasses vineyards in the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato areas: some of the finest in Piedmont, recognized as UNESCO heritage site. The cellars are in the centre of the village of Barolo, right in front of that castle which was once the home to the last Marquises Falletti of Barolo – Carlo Tancredi and Juliette – founders of the winery who first vinify Nebbiolo grapes in a dry style. For this rich and precious grape, Marquise Juliette created magnificent wine cellars to facilitate its fermentation and aging process in large fine oak barrels: Barolo, as we know it today, was born here. When the Falletti dynasty came to an end in 1864 with Marquise Juliette’s death, the winery was donated to the Opera Pia Barolo – a Charity Administration created by Juliette herself – and then acquired in 1929 by the local wine producer Pietro Abbona. Since then, the estate has been under the direction of the Abbonas as their family business. After five generations in the wine business, the mission of the family – today represented by Anna and Ernesto, and their children Valentina and Davide, still consists in knowing how to marry "tradition and evolution” by combining ancient winemaking techniques with the ability to present Barolo in a contemporary way, according to the most authentic and sought-after trends in "Made in Italy" food and winemaking. The Abbonas, armed with great human and winemaking experience, present themselves and their company “Marchesi di Barolo”, as faithful interpreters of the native varietals and their locations, respecting them and rigorously preserving the typical qualities, focusing on the peculiarities of every single vineyards. Featured Wines 2018 Barbera d'Alba Peiragal 2015 Barolo Coste di Rose 2015 Barolo Cannubi 2015 Barolo Sarmassa 2010 Barolo Riserva 1990 Barolo Riserva

From the soils to the movement of air on the mountains to the angle and access to the sun, mountain winegrowing presents a unique set of challenges. Yet with exceptional challenges come exceptional rewards. The grapes grown in mountain vineyards have concentrated character and flavor, naturally high acidity, and a structural component that is unrivaled. The resulting wines have incredible weight and texture, a lifting acidity and a backbone of structure that is undeniable and allows for extended aging. This seminar will explore the Wines of Chris Carpenter, who is winemaker for many of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries, including Caladan, Cardinale, Lokoya, La Jota Vineyard Co., and Mt. Brave. Over the past two decades, Chris has earned a reputation for taming Napa Valley’s mountain tannins and creating legendary wines from Bordeaux varieties.

Who doesn’t enjoy a great destination meal? This one will take you to Peru (gastronomically speaking, of course) courtesy of James Beard Award winner Stephanie Izard and Diego Oka. For this intimate dinner, Izard, the Iron Chef winner best known for her highly successful Chicago mainstays Girl & the Goat and Little Goat, is taking a page or two from her recipe book at Cabra Cevicheria, the Peruvian-inspired eatery she opened to much acclaim in 2019. Cabra, which translates to “goat” in Spanish, draws inspiration from Izard’s travels throughout Peru, where she captured some of the country’s diverse flavor profiles. Joining Izard on this culinary journey is the extraordinarily gifted Peruvian-born Oka, who has helmed the kitchen at La Mar by Gastón Acurio since 2013. With influences including his grandmother’s cooking, his Japanese-Peruvian heritage and the foods he discovered while living in Mexico and Colombia, Oka brings a deft touch to his kitchen at La Mar -- and to his SOBEWFF® dinners as well. Together, these two titans will execute a boldly flavored menu rivaled only by the sparkling views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.

There are few culinary destinations that have the kind of staying power of The Slanted Door, Charles Phan’s world-class Vietnamese restaurant that opened in 1995 and has remained a darling of critics and diners alike ever since. (The restaurant now boasts two outposts in San Francisco and San Ramon and a soon-to-open third location in Napa.) The James Beard Award winner is largely credited with elevating the Southeast Asian cuisine in America with his innovative interpretations of classic Vietnamese fare that taste equal parts fresh and familiar. For this transportive dining experience, part of our new SOBEWFF® Pop-Up Series, Phan will serve up his aromatic dishes alongside the team behind one of Miami’s most cherished culinary institutions -- Tung Nguyen, Lyn Nguyen, and Kathy Manning’s Hy Vong. (Devotees of the much-loved Hy Vong can think of this dinner as two pop-ups in one)! These trailblazing women, who co-authored the profoundly moving memoir Mango and Peppercorns, are bringing their own distinctive culinary approach to the evening’s menu, which will feature the fragrant, complex flavors that are the touchstones of Vietnamese cooking. Hosted at SGWS Wynwood, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits’ modern-industrial hospitality center, this feast of the senses will find its roots in the exquisitely calibrated combination of sweet and savory and in the process, remind you that in life, balance is everything.

Location: La Terrazza da Fiola Miami

Tickets to this event will be sold exclusively to members of the host venue. Tickets will not be available for purchase to the general public. As the prolific Academy Award-winning film director Frederico Fellini once said, “Life is a combination of magic and pasta.” If pasta is indeed your love language, we suggest you look no further than this exclusive SOBEWFF® dinner, headlined by the great Stefano Secchi and Fabio Trabocchi. These two Michelin-starred chefs will make sweet (Italian) music as they collaborate on a menu that artfully blends Trabocchi’s contemporary approach to the country’s cuisine with the more rustic (but no less refined) appeal of Secchi, who trained under the peerless Massimo Bottura at the famed Osteria Francescana in Modena before opening Rezdôra in New York City. The handsome, wood-beamed elegance of Fiola’s dining room will set the scene for this intimate dinner, which also features robust Italian wine pairings from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio. After savoring this magnificent meal, don’t be surprised if Fellini’s words begin to take on the soaring, tuneful majesty of a Pavarotti classic. That’s simply Secchi and Trabocchi’s magic at work.

The Festival is honored to pay tribute to the outstanding accomplishments of the culinary community’s beloved and iconic Guy Fieri, along with Bill and Peter Deutsch of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. This year’s Tribute Dinner, hosted by Master of Ceremonies and Festival favorite Rachael Ray, will be as vibrant as the careers of these three hospitality pioneers, and will include distinct touches designed to pay homage to both Guy Fieri’s wit and Bill and Peter Deutsch's family flair. The dinner itself will include distinct touches designed to pay homage to both Guy Fieri’s wit and Bill Deutsch and Peter Deutsch family flair. Among the evening's highlights will be an extravagant LIVE Auction led by celebrity auctioneer, Food Network and Cooking Channel star Jeff Mauro, featuring once-in-a-lifetime travel and dining experiences available for bidding. Click here to browse the Tribute Dinner Live Auction lots and start bidding today! Longtime Festival friend Guy Fieri is not just your average chef and restaurateur, he’s created a foodie frenzied culture, deep-frying his way into the hearts of millions with his enormous appetite and even bigger personality. From his New York Times Best-Selling books and Emmy Award-winning shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to Guy’s Grocery Games, this spikey-headed foodie has created the savoriest Food Network shows in existence. But for someone so impressively loud, Fieri stays surprisingly quiet about his extensive charity work. Fieri makes sure any perishables left after filming Guy’s Grocery Games are donated to a nearby shelter. In the 2018 Carr Wildfire devastation in California, Guy and his team prepared and distributed over 2,000 meals to first responders. Recently, the Mayor of Flavortown raised $21 million for restaurant workers affected by COVID-19. Fieri has experienced a huge amount of success in the world of food, and he’s determined to spread both the wealth and the garlic bread. Fieri is also no stranger to hosting the Festival’s most iconic celebrations and in honor of our 21st year, we had to propose a toast to his iconic passion for food, flavor and dedication to the food and beverage industry. Some people are just born to cook and talk and we are thankful for his never-ending puns and passion. The Deutsch family is renowned for its ability to identify unmet consumer needs within the wine and spirits categories and translate them into award winning brands. Bill founded DFWS in 1981 with the vision of running a family-owned company that would import and market fine wines from family-owned producers around the world. Since the company’s inception, it has grown into a top 5 wine company in the USA, selling well over 10 million cases of wine per year. The company has now expanded into the Spirits Category with a portfolio of ultra-premium whiskey, Gin and premium vodka brands. Bill was named Chevalier in 1986 by the French Government, promoted to Officier in 1992, and on to Commandeur of the Ordre National du Mérite Agricole in 2011. In 2012, Bill received France’s prestigious Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur, the highest French decoration for military or civilian service, awarded only for gallantry in action or for twenty years of distinguished service in peacetime. Peter joined the company in 1985, working closely with his father, founder Bill Deutsch, for more than 35 years. Their family-to-family approach, in today’s world of corporate giants, is uniquely valuable and has allowed the company to achieve long-term success. As CEO, Peter has been credited for turning France’s Georges Duboeuf into the No. 1 selling Beaujolais in the country, making the ubiquitous [ yellow tail ] wines from Australia the No. 1 imported brand in the US and building Josh Cellars into the largest premium wine brand in the world. Tribute Dinner attendees will also have access to the Guy Fieri's Late Night After Party hosted by Rev Run, taking place immediately after the dinner!

Dinner hosted by Nyesha Arrington, Valerie Chang, Luciana Giangrandi & Jeff Masanz
part of the ReachTV Event Series

Date & Time: Sat, Feb 26 | 7:00PM
Price: $275.00
Location: The Bath Club

The culinary industry is brimming with so many essential female voices, and we’re thrilled to highlight three of them at this special SOBEWFF® dinner. First up is LA-based Top Chef alum Arrington, whose globally minded flavors are imperative to cooking what she describes as “food that hugs the soul.” Having worked under the legendary French chef Joël Robuchon, Arrington also knows a thing or two about fine dining, which nicely complements the culinary perspectives of her two Miami-based collaborators, both James Beard semifinalists -- Valerie Chang (of Itamae in the Design District) and Luciana Giangrandi (of Boia De in Buena Vista). Chang, who was one of 25 women chosen to participate in the James Beard Foundation's 2020 Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership Program, is known for her Nikkei-inspired menu of Japanese-Peruvian dishes that take full advantage of the best local and seasonal ingredients. Completing the trifecta is Giangrandi, who honed her skills at Scarpetta and Carbone before opening the meticulously conceived, Italian-centric Boia De. Enhanced by the 1920s charm of The Bath Club and featuring skillful support from Executive Chef Jeff Masanz, this dinner will demonstrate just how vital these chefs are to the communities they serve, with wines paired from the Robert Mondavi Winery portfolio.

Location: RED South Beach

Following culinary school, the Ghanaian American-born Adjepong was offered a job at Voltaggio’s restaurant, VOLT (now Thacher & Rye) which he subsequently turned down to travel and pursue a master’s degree in London. Well, this SOBEWFF® dinner might end up being the full-circle moment we’ve all been waiting for as these supremely gifted chefs come together to develop a menu based on their singular cooking styles. Voltaggio, a James Beard Award nominee and one of the country’s most venerable chefs specializing in Mid-Atlantic cuisine, is the Executive Chef and owner of multiple restaurants across the United States and can currently be seen on the Food Network series, Battle of the Brothers alongside his chef-brother, Michael Voltaggio. His unfussy, farm-to-table approach will serve as the perfect counterpart to fellow Top Chef alum Adjepong’s globally-minded dishes, layered with the complex flavors and aromas of his West African heritage. Joining them for this special SOBEWFF® dinner at RED South Beach is the restaurant’s prodigious owner and Executive Chef, Peter Vauthy, who will round out the menu with classic dishes that transcend the traditional steakhouse experience, complete with expertly paired wines from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio.

Pizza Lunch hosted by Michael Schwartz and Dan Richer

Date & Time: Sun, Feb 27 | 12:00PM
Price: $125.00
Location: Harry's Pizzeria

Here’s the thing about pizza -- everyone (well, almost everyone) has their favorite. But whether you enjoy yours thin and crispy or perhaps a deep-dish style pie is more your preference, one thing’s for certain -- you haven’t really had pizza until you’ve savored a slice prepared by Michael Schwartz and Dan Richer. Schwartz, the enduringly prosperous James Beard Award-winning chef known for his Miami culinary empire (which includes the Design District staple, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink) began honing his dough-spinning skills in the 1980s during a trip to Japan with Wolfgang Puck, where he was asked to instruct a pizza-making class. Since then, he’s spent countless hours perfecting his wood-fired recipes and now owns and operates three locations of his uber-popular Harry’s Pizzeria, including a newly opened outpost on Miami Beach. The celebrated author of Genuine Pizza: Better Pizza at Home has invited a very special guest to help him fire up the oven for this SOBEWFF® lunch -- Dan Richer, chef and owner of the cult favorite Razza Pizza Artigianale, which has been heralded by the New York Times’ Pete Wells as “the best pizza in New York.” (Amusingly, the restaurant is located in Jersey City.) The James Beard Foundation’s Rising Star Chef semifinalist, who garnered an impressive three-star review from the New York Times, has been praised for an uncompromising commitment to excellence when it comes to the quality of his seasonal, hand-picked ingredients. For Richer, it’s all about the best of everything -- both in product and in process -- and that’s exactly what you’ll taste at this spirited lunch, featuring wines from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio. And if that isn’t enough, each couple will also get to take home a copy of Richer’s latest cookbook, The Joy of Pizza: Everything You Need to Know (Voracious, November 2021). Consider this your very own slice of paradise, toppings and all.

Spice-Making Master Class

Date & Time: Sun, Feb 27 | :
Price: $95
Location: SGWS Wynwood

Adeena Sussman has spent years exploring the aisles of Tel Aviv’s bustling Carmel Market, kibitzing with nearly every vendor she meets in search of the highest-quality ingredients for her recipes, many of which are featured in Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors From My Israeli Kitchen, her gleaming jewel box of a cookbook that won practically every culinary accolade on offer (not to mention the hearts and taste buds of thousands of fans). For this hands-on master class at SGWS Wynwood -- Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits’ modern-industrial hospitality center -- the prolific food writer and cookbook author will show you why spices are at the heart of the Israeli kitchen, and how you can use them to remarkable effect in your everyday cooking. Together, you’ll concoct a handful of deeply aromatic and resonant seasonings to then take home and use in your own kitchen, including: Yemenite Hawaij, Israeli/Palestinian Za'atar, Levantine Baharat, and one of her special blends -- Sour Lime Rub -- which was originally developed for Sababa before being turned into a packaged blend that is now available for sale via the famed La Boîte. Exuding an earthy warmth reminiscent of a spice you’d expect to find in one of her cupboards, Sussman will demonstrate the countless ways to season some of your favorite dishes. With so many options, it’ll be nearly impossible to pick a favorite. Then again, you know what they say -- variety is the spice of life.

The artisanal charcuterie that Mawardi sources for her own Instagramable creations will take center stage (or is that center board?) at this interactive hands-on class, paired with delectable accoutrements to complement the cured meats’ savory and spicy flavor profiles. As you sip on delicious cocktails, you’ll no doubt find the inspiration to prepare another richly layered centerpiece. Not to worry, we’ve got that part covered as well. In addition to your own bountiful beauty, you’ll also get to take home a premium Boos Board -- sure to become the canvas for your next exercise in the deeply gratifying art of grazing.
