The festival’s expanded offerings include a newly added opening night event, three themed grand tastings, and five exclusive dinners developed in partnership with the James Beard Foundation, featuring JBF and Top Chef alumni from across the country collaborating with the island’s top chefs. This year, culinary superstars and local experts will host master classes, educating attendees on everything from cheesemaking to cocktail perfection and pasta-making techniques. Each event will be sold separately. Tickets and hotel/ticket packages for individual events go on sale Friday, May 10. Attendees can save 10% on select events during the exclusive presale, which is currently underway at MVFoodandWine.com.
