Food, Wine, and Fete

Vanessa James and Marcos Rodriguez envisioned their beloved Food, Wine, and Fete experience in 2018 with a heartfelt mission to honor their Caribbean roots and showcase the immense talent of the vibrant diaspora. Infused with a deep love for carnival, Soca music, the rich tapestry of the islands, and its flavorful cuisine, Food, Wine, and Fete was born—a celebration of all things uniquely Caribbean.


On Saturday, May 17th, from 5-11pm, this signature event returns to the historic shores of Virginia Key Beach Park, inviting foodies and feters to indulge in an evening of culinary delights and high octane energy that only Soca music can provide. Join us as we celebrate the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean with exquisite dishes from renowned chefs and restaurateurs, paired with refreshing wines, cocktails, and spirits from our esteemed partners.
