This year’s Winefest runs from Saturday, April 15 to Sunday, April 23, and kicks off with a blending seminar and wine country picnic, then ends with its “Grand Tasting Experience” finale.
While the entire food and wine festival runs for a little over a week, there are different events happening each day at various locations. Just a few of the festival’s different happenings include a Krug and Shellfish Tasting Experience at The Epicurean, Bern's Legacy Dinner at the iconic steak house itself, and a Florida Chefs Dinner at its sibling restaurant Haven.
Each day of the festival will feature fine dining dishes accompanied by wines from "acclaimed wineries around the world that represent that brand’s continued dedication to procuring one of the country’s largest, privately-owned wine collections," a press release states.
Tickets for individual events range from $200-$1,500 and are on sale now at laxerfamilyfoundation.org. Tickets to a few of Winefest's dinners have to be purchased in pairs, according to its website.
The most expensive event is the Bern’s Legacy dinner, and its $1,500 price tag comes with a luxurious five-course meal at the steak house followed by a dessert of apricot mousse, cardamom mascarpone, spiced crumble and honey apricot sorbet enjoyed at the Harry Waugh Dessert Room. Bern's describes it as an "over-the-top, once-in-a-lifetime experience."
