This inaugural festival will offer a unique experience for all attendees, with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with menus, dishes, and drinks from celebrated chefs, mixologists, sommeliers, and restaurants. Adding to the event’s high-end appeal, the festival will be hosted at San Juan’s La Concha Resort, Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and other iconic locations across Puerto Rico. When speaking on the event, festival founder Robert Weakley said, “Every moment is designed to capture Puerto Rico’s electric energy, bringing together culinary artistry, culture, and unforgettable experiences.”
Some of the most highly anticipated events include Icons of Napa: A Beckstoffer Tasting Experience, celebrating the craftsmanship and legacy of Northern California’s Beckstoffer Vineyards; Birdies & Bites, a golf tournament and tasting event; and Bubbles Brilliance: A Champagne & Caviar Experience, featuring Brut and Rosé selections paired with premium caviar. These are just a few of the exciting events happening from April 3rd to 6th in San Juan and other Puerto Rican towns.
The Puerto Rico Wine & Food Festival also aims to promote locally sourced products, including coffee, fresh produce, and artisanal goods, supporting local farmers and entrepreneurs.
