Here's The Lineup For The 2017 South Beach Wine & Food Festival

One of the biggest food and drink celebrations is coming to Miami for its 16th year running: The Food Network and Cooking Channel's South Beach Wine & Food Festival. The festival features dozens of cooking demos, tastings, classes, and dinners with some of the world's most renowned chefs and food personalities. Tickets are on sale for the Feb. 22–26 nearly week-long feast, and we have a list of culinary highlights to dip your forks into.

Some of the most popular events are making a return, and may seem familiar to New York City Wine & Food Festival attendees, including the Burger Bash and the Tacos and Tequila with Aarón Sánchez. The new events this year include:

            • Craft-y Happy Hour focusing on craft cocktails (Thursday, Feb. 23, 5 – 7 p.m.)

            • Burnt Ends: A Kosher BBQ Dinner with Alon Shaya (Thursday, Feb. 23, 7 – 10 p.m.)

            • Salty, Sweet & Savory Treats: A Late-Night Party featuring Bar Lab, The Salty Donut & Sarsparilla

"We're especially excited about some of this year's new events and parties, as well as the return of fan-favorite signature tastings and a star-studded lineup of intimate dinner experiences," Lee Schrager, South Beach Wine & Food Festival Founder, told The Daily Meal. "Our annual Tribute Dinner will honor José Andrés, and is bound to be a very special evening with Anthony Bourdain as the Master of Ceremonies and chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Michael Voltaggio, and Andrew Zimmern cooking."
