The best way to discover your new favorite St. Pete restaurant returns to The 'Burg in a few weeks. This two-day celebration of local food, wine and craft beer takes place each fall, but happens at a brand new venue this year.
The 11th installment of Savor St. Pete (stylized “SAVOR”) heads to Vinoy Park at 701 Bayshore Dr. NE on Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 4-5.
The festival will take place under large tents that span 40,000 square feet, with scenic views of Tampa Bay and a wide variety of food and drink samples to choose from.
Tickets to each day of the festival run between $105-$135, with the pricier VIP admission offering an extra hour of sampling, access to an exclusive lounge and VIP-only drinks. Both ticket tiers include a few festival souvenirs and unlimited tastings from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Two Tampa Bay-based concepts that will be present at next month’s Savor St. Pete festival include chic rooftop bar Sal y Mar and newly-opened Mediterranean spot Allelo. Although the rest of the lineup hasn’t been released yet, we hope local restaurants like Sculley’s, Bavaro’s, Bolay, Tryst, Birch & Vine and Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille return to this year’s festival, too.
Drink samples will also be provided by companies like Mother Kombucha, Mom Water, Mettler Family Vineyards, Tito’s Vodka, Green Bench Brewing Co. and Coppertail Brewing Co. alongside several other local and national brands.
In addition to a wide variety of food and drink samples, guests can also enjoy interactive cooking demonstrations from storied chefs, live DJ entertainment and giveaways courtesy of Publix.
According to the festival’s website, a portion of proceeds from ticket sales will benefit "local Bay-area charities," although they are not specified.
