Deep reds. Refreshing whites. Luscious aperitifs. Decadent desserts. These are just a few of the highlights of the Las Olas Wine and Food Festival, set to take place on Thursday, May 1st along beautiful Las Olas Boulevard.

Swaying palms, tropical breezes and illustrious storefronts will set the scene. But, it's the wonderful wines, from the mellow and mild, to the hearty and rich — along with chef favorites representing more than 50 of South Florida's award-winning restaurants — that will take center stage at this anticipated annual event.

More than two dozen of the world's most preeminent wineries will give everyone from casual event-goers to professional sommeliers a chance to please their palettes with some of today's finest selections. And when paired with signature dishes from The Grill Room on Las Olas, Chima Steakhouse, Indigo, Trina, 3030 Ocean and many more, The Las Olas Wine and Food Festival will transform the city's most charming and fashionable thoroughfare into four blocks of world-class cuisine and live entertainment.

Far from intimidating or pretentious, the Las Olas Wine and Food Festival, presented by Premier Beverage, is the must-attend event of the South Florida social calendar. The best part is, proceeds benefit the American Lung Association of Florida, South Area.
