A huge shoutout to Yelp and their ticket giveaways. I was able to win a ticket for the event on…read moreSaturday and it was awesome! From the moment you step in, it's sensory overload in the best way. Think endless rows of tasting booths, celebrity-chef energy buzzing in the air, cocktails flowing freely, and the ocean breeze reminding you that you're very much in Miami. This is not a "grab one bite and go" event--this is a pace-yourself, choose-your-own-adventure experience. There's sooo many options! You'll find everything from refined, chef-driven bites to indulgent comfort food, with Latin flavors making a strong showing (as they should, given the Goya sponsorship). Portions are tasting-sized but generous enough that if you're strategic--and disciplined--you'll leave full. The drinks? Not sure what the statistic was but I am pretty sure there were at least 2 booths for every food stall. Wine, spirits, cocktails, bubbles--every few steps there's something new to sip, and the brands go all out. Hydration stations are your friend, and yes, you should use them. What really sets the Grand Tasting Village apart is the energy. Live music, chef demos, and being on the sand in the Miami heat. it's lively without feeling chaotic. It's crowded, sure, but that's part of the SOBEWFF charm. If you don't like lines or navigating through happy, slightly buzzed food lovers, this may not be your scene. I highly recommend if you're a foodie, a wine lover, or just someone who enjoys excellent food in a high-energy, Miami-glam setting, the Goya Foods' Grand Tasting Village is a must-do SOBEWFF event. Come hungry, wear comfortable shoes, and wear sunscreen and sun-protection.

I attended the grand tasting event last year for the first time and had an outstanding experience…read more Since it was my first time, I didn't take full advantage of the event as I wasn't fully prepared for it. This year, I made sure to be fully prepared for the event in order to get the full effect. I was slightly disappointed with the event this year. I feel like there were barely any food vendors this year, especially compared to last year. Also, a lot of the big Miami restaurants weren't in attendance like they were last year. I will say the vibes were great. There was music, great vendors, and good food and drinks. I got so much merch and snacks/drinks to take home. My favorite dishes this year were the griot arancini from S. Joseph Catering, the Bahamian conch fritter from A Taste of Elegance, the crispy sazón chicken from Goya, the peach cobbler pound cake from Chillicious Edibles and Events, the truffle bites from King Hawaiian, the hibachi fried rice from Benihana, and everything (both the dumpling and crab something) from STK. I also loved the birria quesadilla from a vendor I forgot to get the name of. The event was very organized and I love how there's free water stations and garbage stations at every corner. They keep the place extremely clean! Even the bathrooms are kept in outstanding order the entire day. Great job by all the volunteers and staff working the event. They all had a smile on their face despite the hot weather/sun. I do like how they have some parts in the sun and some in the shade. I also love the concert at the end of the night. JaRule killed the concert! It was a blast!

I just think that the bottle cap rule is interesting because I got my soda knocked down by someone that passed the cup holder.. with no cap my drink spilled all over the floor.. 8 dollar Pepsi was gone .. they said it's because people be sticking the bottle caps inside the toilets. People stop doing this.. like why..... be considerate of public places that we come to enjoy all together.

What a great party!! This was my first time experiencing a South Beach Food and Wine Festival…read moreevent. The tickets were pricey, but my husband and I happened to be visiting Miami from out of state, and we thought we would try it. There was plenty of really good food!! Lobster sandwich bites, filet with mashed potatoes , French onion grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken dishes, hamburgers, banana pudding, bread pudding, and much more. There were Miami restaurants represented. Also, restaurants from Atlanta, New York, Rhode Island, and other parts of Florida. Also, there was plenty of alcohol. They called it a wine festival, but there was plenty of rum, vodka, cognac, scotch, Martinis, and margaritas. One cool thing was that there was a group of guys doing cool, double dutch jump rope tricks. It reminded me of when I was a kid during elementary school recess. I used to love the jump rope games that my friends and I played. Also, they had volunteers who helped you correctly recycle your trash. Compost, trash, or recycling. Being a recycler myself, I really appreciated this. They had three different DJs playing great tunes all night. One of them being Rev Run. Overall, it was a great event!! Regarding parking, we took a Lyft to the event, and we're able to easily get a Lyft back. Sometimes, getting Ubers and Lyfts can be difficult at big events. Not the case here.

But the real entertainment at SOBEWFF's Carnival was for your tastebuds! Held on the beach as essentially the closing party of SOBEWFF, Andrew Zimmern's Carnival featured a lot of the fun foods you'd expect at a fair. Think yummy stuff like the wings from MEAT Eatery, spicy Yemeni Fried Chicken from Simcha, a fresh Caprese sandwich from Crema, Cinnamon Buns and of course alcohol. Mix in one more night with Foodie friends and you have a real Sunday Funday.

It was not that full of people so it was nice to walk around and enjoy the over 20 different taco restaurants. VIP ticket holders got the chance to enjoy not just unlimited tacos but also drinks. This venue had nice and clean restrooms, couple of garbage cans in different points, and nice AC. Parking was a little challenging because this event took place around the very popular Wynwood area. See you next year.

I gave four starts bc it's really hard to get an uber to go the stadium, they either take you to a side road and you have to walk 3 blocks or they take you/drop you off to Betty T ...which is still a distance from the stadium so you're kind of forced to use the golf cart service which you have to pay for. Overall I understand safety precautions and the busy roads but be prepared for a walk regardless if you take uber/ lyft or park outside the stadium grounds.

It was so nice to meet all the different restaurant owners and managers and here what they had to say and explain what they were serving. There was also booths of desserts and alcohol. Let's be real, it's isn't a party is we don't have drinks to wash down all this great food! We can't wait to do it again next year.

So fortunate to win tickets for Goya Foods' Swine, Wine & Spirits courtesy of Yelp Miami and BPB…read more This SOBEWFF event was definitely off the charts! First of all, the venue was impressive. It was held at the historic Biltmore Hotel 2nd floor main terrace. Parking was also easy and free. Got here around 5 and there was already a line to get in but it moved pretty fast once the event opened. We were immediately enticed by several vendors as we made our way in. There were about 3 bars and each one was serving 2 or 3 specialty cocktails. FYI, there were making the drinks strong so no complaints here, lol :) Our favorites were the Old Fashioned and the Havana Club Café. As far as food, it's definitely hard to name them all because there were so many chefs and vendors. We started to our right and there were about 10 stations including Finka, Tacology, Sakaya, and Chef Adrianne just to name a few. Downstairs by the dancefloor and live stage, I think there were another 8 or more vendors including Bulla, Ortanique, Twisted Fork Kitchen, Society Modern American Kitchen, and Ariete. By the time we went back upstairs to check out the left side of the terrace, we were already very full. It was quite painful to walk but worth it :) I can honestly say that everything that we were able to try was awesome. However, there was one dish that really stood out. The ribs from Proof Miami. Fall off the bone and juicy, and whatever marinade they use, it was super tasty. Another station that made a statement was Chef Adrianne's whole roasted pig display. She was nice enough to break a large chunk of the crispy skin for us. Yum! As a bonus, I also managed to get a selfie with her. I can't thank you enough to our CM Diandra, Yelp Miami and BPB for continuing the yearly SOBEWFF contest. It's very generous and a wonderful opportunity especially for folks who haven't been. Until next year!

You do have to still walk up a bit to get to the gate to enter. We waited in kind of a long line, but it went pretty quickly to get in and keep in mind that their bag policy is really strict so you can't really bring a big bag in at all like it's a really small dimension so check their website for that. The seats that we had were amazing and we had such a good view of Ariana. I was really happy with all the Ariana Grande posters and photo ops that they had as well outside of the actual concert part. Overall, this was a good venue and I would go back.

You can purchase to parking beforehand for a little discount or pay when you park at the garage. It's so easy to walk over to the stadium and there are several security lines and it moves fairly quickly. The team store right outside of the arena has a lot of cute options. There are also stores inside the stadium. Getting in and scanning your ticket is quick and easy. Once inside, you're welcomed by the fresh a/c. I love that the stadium is closed so you're not sweating the whole time. There's a ton of food options from baseball park classics, all the way to some Miami classics like pan con bistec and tacos. There's also really cute photo ops across the venue so it's very aesthetic. Highly recommend getting there with time so that parking is easier and you have time to walk around and explore the venue.
