  • A wine and cheese village with pairings
  • The 9th Annual Craft Brew Battle, with South Florida breweries competing
  • A People’s Choice vote for a Fan Favorite Culinary Award
  • A retail area for shopping on site

The organizers say the 2026 chef and drinks lineup will be announced closer to the date.
