For those looking to maximize their experience, the event is offering a two-night bundle at a special 15% discount. This new option, available for both Friday and Saturday, allows guests to savor the full spread, with fresh menu items each night—perfect for those who don’t want to miss a single taste. And in a meaningful nod to National Veterans and Military Families Month, the Wounded Warrior Project will be the official charity partner for this year’s celebration, receiving a portion of the event’s proceeds to support the organization’s mission.
Kicking off the celebration, a series of interactive seminars on Saturday afternoon will give attendees an up-close and hands-on look at the finer points of Florida’s craft beers, Spanish wines, and cocktail-making. “Beer Here!” takes beer lovers on a journey through Florida’s dynamic craft scene, while “Salud! A Journey Through Spain” offers an immersive experience into Spain’s rich winemaking tradition, complete with pairing tips. For cocktail aficionados, the returning “Craft Cocktails” seminar delivers insider secrets for crafting bar-worthy drinks at home. All seminars take place on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., with tickets available separately for $85 per person.
In celebration of this anniversary year, the Swan and Dolphin’s culinary team has created the largest selection of food in the event’s history, highlighting the resort’s award-winning restaurants and talented chefs. New dishes range from the Baja Style Fish Taco with Rosa Mexicano’s signature white sauce to the Red Wine Braised Beef Short Rib from Il Mulino.
For dessert lovers, there are treats like the Pistachio Raspberry Mousse with white chocolate foam and a Mandarin Cream Beignet. And, of course, classic favorites will be back as well—don’t miss the Roasted Linz Heritage Black Angus Beef Tenderloin from Shula’s Steak House or the Butter Poached Bay Scallops from the For the Love of Florida specialty area. Each dish reflects the resort’s commitment to bold flavors and culinary craftsmanship.
With live music throughout the venue, the Food & Wine Classic truly comes alive, creating a one-of-a-kind festival atmosphere where guests can explore different musical genres and sample everything from Motown to jazz as they taste their way through global flavors.
